Catching up with Patty Upton | Fireside at Big Iron

This was the best, "in person" guest to have had at the one and only Big Iron overland rally in West Mineral, Kansas. Yes, I know. Kansas. It wasn't a bad time if you don't mind sitting in a big open field and looking around at a lot of rigs from all over the country. Looking at some vendors and some food trucks and of course, listening to life music until 11PM even night. This is the place for you! It was very family friendly and had a uniqueness about it I can't place. I also had my first ever Patreon campout that weekend. We were able to get a group discount. Thanks to Chris for that! I hope you enjoyed Patty's update as well as some deeper conversations take place. Enjoy your day and share with a friend!

Brief about:
My name is Benji. I am passionate about Overlanding and Human Connection. I know right! They usually don't mix. I started my overland journey back in 2018 when a couple buddies and myself went wheeling and camping. I was immediately hooked. I started a Facebook group called Budget Overland and that opened the podcast door for me in November 2021. Budget Overland was fun and had its place in that time (for me personally). I have grown and shifted in my journey. I started this Podcast and YouTube channel New Found Overland. My approach to the word overland. If you've been in the space at all, you have seen the constant arguing of the word making most avoid the word all together. I was about to do the same, but everything I do is in fact overlanding. So, NEW FOUND OVERLAND was created in April 2024. I hope you don't take yourself or overlanding for that matter too serious. It's not rocket science. We love to travel, camp and help protect public lands and trails so that future generations can enjoy. Welcome, I am glad to have you here.
