Manage episode 480321650 series 3597585
This week we meet to discuss Garrick's "snow" camping experience and Melody shares some upcoming events in the PNW this May!
If you're an iPhone user, you might be able to satellite text message for free! We did some testing of this feature and were mostly impressed, but there are some limitations.
Prepare yourself for Garrick's ranting and raving about gear from a few well known companies in the overlanding and outdoor recreational industries.
Have you had to deal with dirt affecting your zipper performance? We have as well! Garrick did some research into some mitigation solutions and Melody will be testing our top pick.
We close out the episode with our random recommendations!
