Overland Bonfire

Join us in this episode as we dive into the latest happenings at Blue Ridge Overland Gear! We’ll explore exciting new product releases and notable events from the past few months, highlighting some of the products we are personally most excited about. From new gear to updates on community events, there's plenty to discuss.

This week we have Chad from drawersystems.com with us. He builds some of the slickest drawer systems we’ve seen and we were excited to sit down and hear about how he got started.

He also shares some great tips for anyone who is looking to DIY a set of drawers themselves.

Make sure to check out his work at www.drawersystems.com

There are so many ways to stay on track during your adventures! From classic physical maps to modern GPS applications like Gaia GPS and OnX GPS, this episode covers some of our favorite navigation methods and the reasons for using each in different situations.

In this episode of The Overland Bonfire Podcast, we have Matt Wilson from Ray Allen Manufacturing joining us in the studio. If you’re not familiar with Ray Allen, they specialize in high-quality equipment for working dogs. With Matt here, we thought it would be the perfect chance to discuss traveling with our canine friends.

We’ll cover topics such as crating dogs on the road, the importance of dog first aid, and training for emergencies in advance. And, of course, it wouldn’t be The Overland Bonfire without some tangents, so expect a few of those as well.

This week we discuss some of the best overlanding trips we have taken, and then we dream about the trips still on our bucket list. (Matt needs at least a month)

It’s time for the final installment of our three-part series on overlanding organization. This time, we’ll tackle how to organize all of the little things you want to have handy—your Truck EDC. While we have some overlapping items (such as a backup multitool), it turns out this can vary quite a bit from person to person. After listening, we hope you’ll take some time to consider what you might add to your Truck EDC to make your next adventure even more enjoyable.

Welcome to part two of our three-part series on overlanding organization. This time we tackle how to organize gear for emergency situations.
