Cape Hatteras

Cape Hatteras

In this episode, we head to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We’re stuck at home on this holiday weekend of torrential rainfall - badly-needed, admittedly - but we’re still talking about all the cool stuff we discovered exploring the Outer Banks islands from Kitty Hawk all the way down to Frisco and Hatteras. I ask for the audiences’ help on a couple of questions; seriously, folks, help a podcaster and fellow Overlander out here; I’m trying to get my water storage sorted out, and looking for ideas from the crowd. Also looking for votes on t-shirt designs I’m working on. You can find those by heading over to www.dirtroadtourist.com.

Trips, Trials & Ticks

On this episode, we talk about our recent trip to Florida, and our upcoming trip to the N.C. Outer Banks. We also talk about ways to keep unwelcome guests in the outdoors - ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes - at bay when you're camping, and talk about what to look for in your repellent products. I've enjoyed having Susan on the podcast with me, and I'm working on some better audio solutions for when we're both at the mic. In the meantime, enjoy a grab-bag of an episode, and don't forget to like, subscribe, rate & comment! Thank you all SO much for being listeners, you're the reason we do this.

What We Wish We Knew

In this episode, Susan and I share lessons learned from 6 years of overlanding. Learn from our mistakes, and find out how to pick out the right gear - and even the right vehicle - for your style of travel. Overlanding is expensive enough without having to purchase costly items multiple times, so listen in as we recount some of the things we wish we would have done differently!

Exploring The Croatan

Today, I sit down with my wife, Susan, to talk about our recent trip to wheel in the Croatan National Forest, and also to score some treats in nearby Swansboro, and lunch at a GREAT barbecue restaurant we found in Hubert, NC. We talk about upcoming trips and the current situation with Bonnie, our Tacoma OR. Settle in and listen as we tackle the Croatan!

New Gear & Grab Bag Episode

I've got no topic for this episode, so I use it as a clearinghouse for a bunch of things I wanted to talk about. I give a huge thanks to my lovely wife, Susan, for giving the gift of new overlanding gear for Valentine's Day! I talk about some new features in OnX, some of my favorite podcasts returning from the dead; listen up because there's a little bit of everything in this one!
