Remote Trails™ Radio

After a long break, we are back! We have some updates from our previous episodes to share along with some new segments to introduce in this episode.

Melody enjoyed a Jeep expedition in Vietnam which involved a new trail condition she hasn't experienced before. Garrick enjoyed fun on two wheels and managed to stay toasty while camping.

Our first new segment is discussing gear and why its needed. This time our focus is on getting unstuck and how recovery points are critical for that purpose.

Our second new segment is covering a news topic. This may not be  the latest breaking news, but is something noteworthy and currently relevant to the overlanding community. We cover the controversial YouTube video which poses the question if overlanding is a scam.

We close out the episode detailing the tenets of Tread Lightly and how to overland responsibly.

We are happy to introduce our first esteemed guest, Shannon! We learn a little about Shannon's near stock Jeep JL Wrangler and how he has selected his upgrades so far. Shannon then shares some insights on how to navigate the murky waters of purchasing a Chinese diesel heater for the winter. 

Garrick shares his latest tale about how his non-overlanding trip to Lopez island accidentally ended up in some fun, off pavement time.

For the main topic, Shannon provides some tips to make cooking fun and easy while overlanding, his early experiences with the recreation, the human side of overlanding, and what he looks forward to in his overlanding future.

Melody and Shannon share their perspectives on overlanding in the backcountry as minorities.
