    Rogue Overland Adventure Chat - Episode 15 - Race To Erase 22: Off‑Road Therapy & Hope for Veterans

    Race to Erase 22 founder and team members join us on the Rogue Overland Adventure Chat Podcast (Episode 14) to share how off‑road racing is saving veteran lives. Their all‑volunteer nonprofit was founded by racers in 2016 to help active‑duty and veteran service members feel part of a team again and to fight the heartbreaking statistic that around 22 veterans take their own lives each day.   In this deep‑dive interview, we learn how Race to Erase 22 provides “dirt therapy”—jeep adventures, UTV rides and other off‑road events—to give veterans camaraderie and mental health support. The organization also raises awareness and shares suicide‑prevention resources through outreach, education and their “Gone, But Never Forgotten” memorial wall honoring those lost to invisible wounds.   We talk with the founder and three members about their personal stories, why they volunteer, and how you can get involved. Whether you love off‑roading or care about veteran mental health, this episode offers hope and actionable ways to help. 👉 Watch now, like & subscribe for more adventures!   👉 Learn more or donate: https://causes.benevity.org/causes/840-814624520   #RaceToErase22 #rogueoverland #veteransuicideawareness #offroad #AdventureChat #offroadpodcast #podcast #RaceToErase22,#RogueOverland,#OffRoadTherapy,#OffRoadAdventure,#OffRoadRacing,#DirtTherapy,#VeteranSupport,#SupportOurVeterans,#VeteranSuicideAwareness,#MentalHealthAwareness,#StopVeteranSuicide,#NonprofitOrganizations,#MilitaryFamily,#UTVRide,#JeepLife,#DesertRacing,#CommunitySupport,#Camaraderie,#HelpOurHeroes,#PodcastInterview,#AdventurePodcast,#MilitaryMentalHealth,#HonoringTheFallen,#NeverForget,#Brotherhood,#OffRoadCommunity,#VeteranLivesMatter,#RaiseAwareness,Adventure Chat

    Rogue Overland Adventure Chat - BONUS - Why you need a snorkel offroad!

    Welcome back to Adventure Chat, brought to you by Rogue Overland! In this episode, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood mods in the overlanding world — the snorkel. Everyone talks about snorkels for water crossings, but the main reason you need one is actually to keep dust out of your engine. When you're out on the trail kicking up dust for miles, your engine is sucking in all that fine debris — unless you're running a snorkel. By pulling in cleaner air from a higher location, a snorkel helps protect your engine, improve performance, and extend its life. We also touch on the secondary benefit of a snorkel: preventing water ingestion during river or creek crossings — because hydrolocking your engine is the last thing you want on an adventure. 🎙️ Topics Covered: ✅ How dust wrecks your motor ✅ Snorkel placement & airflow ✅ Water vs. dust protection ✅ Trail-tested insight from the field Subscribe to Rogue Overland for more off-road tech, gear breakdowns, and real-world advice from the trail. Whether you're just starting your overlanding journey or you're a seasoned explorer, Adventure Chat is here to keep you informed and inspired. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next drop! 👇 Drop your questions or trail experiences in the comments! #RogueOverland #adventurechat #OverlandingTips #SnorkelLife #offroadmods #DustProtection #4x4life #TrailTalk #overlandgear
