Pushing on can be the first idea in a string of bad decisions. The Overland Roundtable panel gets together to discuss their lessons learned, give some recommendations, and share some stories sur...

Session 8

On this session of the Overland Roundtable, Dan shares an interview that he did with the group known as Via PanAm. The group is running from Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina on foot! 590 marathons! The audio quality isn't as good as usual and the format for the show is different. But at any rate, its a great story involving overland travels that is worth the listen. Cheers and see you next time, at the Overland Roundtable!
