This week Jared and Ben are hanging out, sharing stories. Jared just recently went out with some friends out exploring parts of Death Valley. He shares some of the cool sights they visited and adventures they experienced. From crazy winds, awesome trails, hot springs and great people makes for a great trip. Also touch on some upcoming projects. 

We got our buddy Mike @flatbedtundra on the show with us this week. Not only does Mike have a nicely setup Tundra with a flatbed, he also custom built a trailer that is probably more dialed in than most trucks. When he decided to remove the bed of his truck and go with a flatbed he had a vision. Why waste a perfectly good truck bed? Why not turn it into a sick, overly built overland trailer! We talk about the build process and testing it out in places like Mojave and Anza Borrego. Tune in as we may have also discovered the next sleeper, overland rig.

We were finally able to get our friend Aim @overlandpriority to join us on the show! Not only does he go on some awesome adventures, he also has some amazing photography, which you can check out on his other page @aimlorejas_photography. He didn't always have all the cool gear and rad rig. He shares where he started and the evolution into where he is now. He may travel as a solo vehicle but he doesn't go it alone. His whole family is along for the ride!

This week we had a great time getting to know Leeno from Ibis Offroad @ibisoffroad. Leeno gives us the run down on the offroad scene where he's from in Florida. Aside from having to deal with recovering in the marshland mud and the occasional gator, overlanding is pretty similar on the opposite coast. With Ibis Offroad he takes people out on guided trail adventures. From more advanced wheeling to the first timers. Offering training on how to self recover and being prepared with first aid. We also talk breakdowns, tires, airboats and other adventures.

This week, our buddy Matt Kester drops in. Matt, formally 2nd Hand Overland has started a new chapter in his life. He decided to give up his old Land Rover and trade it for 2 wheels. He's started traveling on a KLR 650 now. Hang out with us as we share some adventures, talk about running marathons, try some new bourbon, give questionable life advice and just have a good time. For more on Matt and his adventures follow him at Matt Kester on YouTube and on the gram @matt.t.kester

Our first guest of 2024 is our buddy Adam @adam.m.queen. Photography is his profession and he's been fortunate enough to be able to call home anywhere he feels like pulling up. Whether it's down by the beach or parked along a river up in the mountains. He makes this easier by driving a well put together Revel Sprinter van. We not only dive into van life but overall life. We share our thoughts on food, cool places, YouTube, whiskey, and whatever we feel like. Hangout with us and a have a few laughs.

We've been on a break for a bit to be with family over the holidays and to do some traveling. But we're back baby! This week Ben and Jared fill us in on what they've been up to during the time off. Ben recaps his 2 week trip to Greece and some mishaps in the desert with friends on a weekend getaway. Jared spent 8 days traveling up to the coast of Oregon and back. Some good times out at the popular local event Rigs & Brews and what plans they have for the new year.

Ben and Jared are hanging out this week with longtime friend James @jamesporter4sure. We talk about how he's managed to put down over 320K miles on his sweet 2020 F350 traveling the country. James even shares with us transitioning from life in the Marines to private security work. We also discuss hunting, his EDC and being able to bond with his son at his first concert while exploring Utah and some sketchy trails. 

If you only had 10 days to explore Colorado how would you do it? Well good friends of the show Aric and Shelby of @as_is_overland share with us how they went about it. Got to say it sounded like a great time. Hangout with us as we get to hear all about their adventure. Through the good, the not so good and a few surprises.
