This week we welcome back one of our OG guests, Blair! We get our first 10/10 drink review, have a heated debate about our latest "is it a tent?" submission, and Blair takes us through his cross country road trip to take dirt bikes out in the wilderness. Note: We had some technical difficulties around 68m in and had to restart recording and play a bit of catchup. It's mostly Sonny's fault...

It's the episode you've all been waiting for! SASQUATCH HUNTING!
The gang talks chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, John getting back in the saddle photographing cars, and Dumb and Dumber ways to spend time with your friends.
This episode has it all - Chewbacca hugs, job interview tips for failure, soccer analogies to describe wine, festival camping stories, some artsy talk, and two amazing guests, our friends Tori and Yalin!
John and India talk about watches, camping rules, and bears, along with another spicy review!
We chat with our friend Mae Buche about all things Gambler 500 including her beer Valkyrie moment, cooking with a machete, the meaning of ABG, and possibly the best method of cooking a hot dog we've ever heard.
There's not much tent talk on this very special episode of Ten Tents Podcast, but hey, there's always next week! Happy Pride, everyone!
John invents a totally new way to write tasting notes, India is reminded why she stays off socials, the Versa mods get even more extreme (read: awesome), and we talk beariquette.
It's admittedly a car heavy episode this week but we finally find John's gateway classic cars. India recaps Amelia Island and gives some camping-adjacent highlights, we find a perfect beach canopy, and car snoots were booped.

This week in Ten Tents, John finds a wine he actually loves (and a sweet wine fridge thanks to ULL), we talk about the dumbest way to experience the Grand Canyon, our eyes gloss over talking about 18-wheeler mods, and we catch up with John's service buddies (hi Kelly and Will!) to hear about their first family camper trip and their preferred method of cooking hot dogs.
It's a rowdy week at Ten Tents! On this episode- we discuss the best camping sites in Star Wars universe, John gets "schooled" on bar etiquette, we get pumped for One Lap of America, and the hot dog debate gets an unexpected curveball from Switzerland.
It's revenge of the fanfic this week on Ten Tents! We chew through some news before John chews through some spicy Thai food.
