In this episode, Jay and Benji have a great conversation with Kenny Ehresman @JKBronco about his journey into overlanding, his 2021 Bronco Sport build, and recent trip to Expo West.

Kenny Ehresman is an IT director for Advanced Technology Recycling. Kenny has always been into IT and electronics, but his real passion is cars. When Kenny was 10 years old, his dad bought a go-kart. This ultimately led him to bigger toys such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, really anything with wheels and a motor. In 2014 Kenny met his wife Jessica. Kenny and Jessica have a beautiful blended family consisting of 5 wonderful children and two huskies. Like most families, they live very busy lives, and electronics tend to consume a lot of downtime for their children. As time has passed, Kenny and Jessica have come up with solutions to get their kids outside. So in 2021, Kenny received a 2021 Bronco Sport as a gift.

In this episode, Jay and Benji have a great conversation with Richard Bauer, who is from South Africa and recently moved to the U.S.  He tells us about his journey into Overlanding and the differences between the creature comforts of South Africa and the United States.

Richard grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, and recently moved to TN, USA. Back in South Africa, he was involved in various motorsports, from drag racing (street and legal), building cars, and then transitioning to the off-road scene, where he took part in a local competition for the last few years and won some :) Richard moved over to "overlanding" and then had to sell it all to move to the USA.

In this episode, Benji and Jay make a short list of the cringe-worthy things overlanders say.  Ultimately, we are trying to identify pain points that keep people from getting out there and address some of those issues.

In this episode, Jay and Benji have a great conversation about first aid on the trail with paramedic Joseph Meier.  He gives a great first aid overview and provides tips and equipment for various emergencies you may find yourself in. 

Joe Meier is from Michigan’s upper peninsula. He has worked as a first responder for 5 years and a paramedic for three years. Over the past three years, I’ve been studying biology with a premed concentration and recently got accepted to PA school. I was in the Army Reserve for six years, where I served as a petroleum supply specialist and medic. My overlanding experience is much shorter, but I feel like this podcast is helping fill in my knowledge gaps.
