Ep 29: Start a Car Fire, Micro Power Stations, How-To Crime
Our Thanksgiving episode is here! 🦃 This week, Garrick and Melody dive into an unexpectedly eventful stretch of adventures, gear experiments, and one very fancy set of license plates.
We kick things off with updates from Episodes 26 and 28—including Garrick’s saga of trying (and failing, then succeeding) to build a DC5521 fridge cable, plus the surprising Instagram shoutout that has us basically famous now. Melody comes clean about a missing tire gauge, and BTech quietly drops a radio update that solves a big annoyance for dual-sport riders everywhere.
From there, we head into Melody’s deep dive into Hong Kong license plates—the status symbols, the minimum spend, the adjectives (“beautiful”/“ugly”), and the story of how an Uber driver revealed the whole scene. Meanwhile, Garrick reports back from a chilly Halloween hot-tent campout, tests out a new Bluetti charger, wrestles with mixed weather, and finally admits a diesel heater might be worth it after all.
Our Gear Focus this week nerds out on micro power stations, featuring the surprisingly capable Anker Solix C300 DC—a tiny-but-mighty “power bank on steroids” that can run a fridge in a pinch and might be the ultimate beginner power station for overlanders. We compare it against competitors from EcoFlow and Jackery, talk real-world uses, and highlight who this form factor is actually great for.
Then we jump into this week’s Adventure App pick, Radio Chatter, and wrap with some random recommendations: Met Market’s pre-order cranberry sauce (trust Melody on this) and the Botches Offroad Podcast (trust Garrick on this).
Happy Thanksgiving to our American audience—and thanks for riding along with us. 🦃🏕️
