I want to apologize in advance for the poor audio. This was recorded a while back on old software.  Anyways, join the LIVE podcast episode tonight with Backcountry Beagles. 

Jarret from Steadfast Overland is about to launch some pretty cool products real soon! We chat about that a little and just catch up. Hope you enjoy!

In this week's episode I sat down with Scott Blake, Jason Gunnells and Chris Adair. Both Scott and Jason have trailers, different styles too. Chris and I were more of the opposite, anti trailer if you will. Find out why and if they changed our minds!

In this week's episode I sat down with Jedediah Smith from West Virginia. I am from a state that could use some help in the outdoor adventure space so I asked if he would come on the show and he agreed to do so. Jed and his team of Backroad Of Appalachia focuses on communities that could use the extra revenue. By hosting multiple outdoor events that vary from drift car events, motorcycles, rally races and even overlanding routes. They have done an excellent job at doing so responsibly and respectfully.  Make sure you checkout their events. Follow and like their pages to show your support. Enjoy.
