Molly is back and were talking about REI. From the endorsement of Doug Burgum to the REI Union and everything in between. Ultimately REI is a brand we all know and love but what happens when that brand does something not so great? We discuss how we feel, what we would like to see in the future of REI, and whether or not we will continue to support our beloved Recreational Equipment Inc.

To kick off Season 2, we have Alex (@ap_fozz) back from S1E2! We recap what happened after the last podcast when we took our Subarus from Yellow Post camping in San Bernardino to Joshua Tree National Park via Berdoo Canyon (off road trail). We talk about our experience camping in Joshua Tree National Park and get a walkthrough of Alex’s Subaru Forester build.

So stoked to finally sit down with Tim, the mastermind behind @RealRigsRattle and co-admin of SoftRoadNation_Arizona, along with his amazing wife Consuelo, as we immerse ourselves in the stunning AZ National Forest near Flagstaff. Join us as we swap camping stories and birth an incredible million-dollar app idea. LOL! #trademark Episode starts at 25min 10 sec

Not only has Molly camped in almost every state in the US with Dewy (her Honda Element), but she is a WEALTH of knowledge when it comes to interesting facts from various historic places around the country. From coprolites (fossilized poop) to wombats, I learned so much while camping with Molly for a few days in the San Bernardino National Forest.

Stick around for the second half of the podcast where we get a tour of Molly’s Honda Element build!!

The theme of this episode is "You Don't Have to Suffer." In fact, you can make camping as luxurious as you want! In this episode, we sit down with Yessi and Edo to discuss their beautifully curated camp setup and how it came to be. They seriously spoiled Shelby and me on one of the most memorable camping trips I have ever experienced.

In this episode Ryan and I sit down in Cleveland National Forest and chat some of our favorite pieces of gear as well as some gear that just didn't work out for our style of camping.

We have a few unexpected but welcomed visitors from a few campsites down (Shoutout Bob and Tim) who crash the episode but later end up coming by for some drinks and a hotdog.
