Rodney Dewson, aka @overland_medic, joins us for another episode of the Blue Ridge Bonfire. However, this time we don't dive into kitting out our first aid kits or what training we should have before heading into the unknown. Instead, we dive into the sheer number of rigs that Rodney has owned over the last few years. It's awe-inspiring, and until you hear the breakdown from the man himself, it's hard to comprehend how many rigs Rodney has bought, built out, and then passed along. Plus, as usual...

You've gotta protect your neck, and your gear. While we're big fans of soft storage here at BROG, we also know that something needs to be protected and secured in hard storage. In this episode of the Bonfire, the team goes over our favorite boxes, cases, and gear trunks for organizing our gear. Then we dive into a few products that we wish BROG made. We'll have to find someone to talk to about that list. As always, feel free to drop questions, comments, and future episode topics into the comment...

Every journey has a beginning, and in this episode of the Blue Ridge Bonfire Podcast, we talk about how a few of us on the BROG team got into the overlanding world. There's a bit of the natural progression, from car camping and rock crawling to a little bit of both. You'll also learn some interesting bits of BROG history and how the current team came to be. As usual, we also go off on a few tangents about adventures, or maybe more accurately, misadventures we've had in the past. Thanks for watch...

We teamed up with 5 Overland Pros to ask the question "What does overlanding mean to you? Their answers were incredibly different, while at the same time being thought provoking and insightful. It really goes to show that overlanding means different things to different people, but at the same time, there are common threads of getting outside and having adventures.
