Hey everyone, it's been a solo ride tonight on the Overland Radio Show, and I've got to say, it's been quite the adventure without my usual co-hosts, Ashley and Jeff. They've been busy with family commitments and working on the cricket remodel, so it's just been me, winging it and hoping for the best. We kicked off the show with a big thank you to our sponsors, Chad from Overland Attic, Rugged Bound, and Midland USA. Your support means the world to us and helps us bring these episodes to life. I dove into some updates, starting with the wrap-up of the polar bear camping club at Big Brutus. It was a fantastic event with great weather, familiar faces, and a lot of fun for everyone involved. Kudos to Rhino from Rhino Built for orchestrating the event and to Okie Overland and Overland Attic for their sponsorships. Big Brutus is now seeing a significant increase in visitors, and it's all thanks to the positive impact of the adventure-seeking community. During the show, I extended an open invitation for listeners to join in live, provided they have audio and video ready. It's always a blast to have guests on and share a bit of the spotlight. I also touched on the chaos of managing gear. It seems like I've got equipment stashed all over the place, and I'm curious if any of you can relate to the struggle of keeping track of it all. I'm considering a spring clean to get everything organized and ready for the upcoming season. In other news, I've been working on a new project, gearforoutdooradventure.com, which is a price comparison website that helps you find the best deals on outdoor gear from various retailers like Amazon, eBay, and brand websites. It's still in the early stages, but I'm excited about its potential to save us all some money. Looking ahead, we've got the More Expo coming up, and I'm hoping to showcase some new equipment there. Plus, we're working on updating our app to include push notifications, music streaming, and more interactive features. Lastly, I discussed the USDA's investment in improving roads, trails, and water quality, and how we, as a community, can advocate for funding to support our local trails in Arkansas and Oklahoma.…

Overland Radio Show Episode Summary Hey everyone, this is your host from the Overland Radio Show, and we just wrapped up another fantastic episode that I'm excited to share with you. Tonight, we had the pleasure of chatting with Nicholas from New Mexico Expedition, who shared some incredible insights and secrets about the beauty and adventure that New Mexico has to offer. Nicholas gave us a deep dive into the world of overlanding in New Mexico, highlighting the state's underrated nature. He shared his experiences with treasure hunting, the history of outlaws, and the untouched wilderness that makes New Mexico a unique destination for overlanders. Treasure Hunting : Nicholas and his father are deeply involved in treasure hunting, and they have some exciting expeditions planned, including one with a guest from Arizona to search for Conquistador treasure. Tactical Overlanding : Nicholas discussed his approach to overlanding, which includes a tactical element due to his background in gunsmithing and machining. Remote Camping : He emphasized the wild and untamed nature of New Mexico, offering advice on where to find the most remote and beautiful camping spots. Seasonal Tips : Nicholas provided tips on where to camp during different seasons, with northern New Mexico being a favorite for its mountainous terrain. Local Cuisine : We also talked about local food spots, like the Tap and Taco in Rio Rancho, which Nicholas highly recommends. Wildlife Encounters : Nicholas shared his lack of encounters with scorpions and snakes at campsites, but he did offer advice on being cautious and aware, especially in desert environments. Historical Sites : He highlighted the rich history of New Mexico, with ghost towns and historical landmarks that overlanders can explore. Travel Recommendations : For those passing through New Mexico, Nicholas suggested stopping in Magdalena for its history and proximity to various attractions, including the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. We had some laughs about previous episodes, including one where we teased our regular, Ashley, about her height and other quirks, with her husband Jeff providing ammunition for our friendly banter. Ashley shared a story about a GPS mishap that led them to a place called Candy Kitchen instead of their intended destination, which turned out to be quite an eerie experience. Nicholas is gearing up for a new build on his truck, aiming for an Aussie-style flatbed canopy setup. Ashley is preparing for a trip to Big Bend National Park, hoping her camper will be ready in time.

1:24:03

Overland Radio Show: Special Guest Mark Bruce from Red Arc Hey everyone, Lee here from the Overland Radio Show. We just wrapped up an incredible episode with our special guest, Mark Bruce from Red Arc. As always, it was a Tuesday night delight filled with insightful discussions about the latest in 12-volt technology and overlanding gear. We kicked things off by giving a shout out to our sponsors, including Overland Attic, Rugged Bound, and Midland USA. We also encouraged our listeners to share the episode and leave us a positive review on platforms like iTunes. Mark, joining us all the way from Australia, brought the heat with discussions about Red Arc's innovative products. Despite the temperature differences between Oklahoma and Australia, we dove into the cool features of Red Arc's offerings. One of the highlights was learning about Red Arc's 150 ampere lithium battery with an inbuilt heater, perfect for handling extreme temperatures. Mark explained how this dense power battery can handle a 2000 watt inverter on its own, a game-changer for overlanders. We also talked about the new smart battery monitor, which is like a fuel gauge for your auxiliary battery system. It uses an algorithm to convert volts and amps into time, giving you a clear idea of how much power you have left. Mark introduced us to the Red Vision Rogue, a compact and versatile system that can control up to 10 circuits and monitor two water tanks. It's a solid-state system with digital fuses and can be daisy-chained for more complex setups. For those looking to manage their power on the go, the Go Block was a topic of interest. It's a portable power solution with a 50 amp DC-DC charging circuit, allowing you to take your fridge and other essentials anywhere. We wrapped up the show with a sneak peek at the upcoming Manager 100, a battery management system that can charge large lithium batteries and adjust power draw from your vehicle's alternator. It was an episode packed with information that left us excited about the future of overlanding tech. We can't wait to see what Red Arc has in store for us next, and we're already looking forward to having Mark back on the show. Remember to check out our sponsors, and if you're at the Moore Expo, come find Ashley and me right outside the main entrance. Until next time, keep exploring and stay charged up with the latest gear from Red Arc!…
