I shared my personal experience using the Moonshade at a recent event, highlighting its ease of setup and effectiveness in providing shade and comfort. Henry also teased some exciting future developments for Moon Fabrications, including potential collaborations with RV manufacturers and upcoming events like the Moon Landing Gathering in New Mexico. We wrapped up the episode by encouraging listeners to check out Moon Fabrications' website and consider the Moonshade for their outdoor adventures. It was a fantastic conversation filled with insights, stories, and a glimpse into the innovative world of Moon Fabrications. Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to bringing you more exciting episodes in the future!

    Trail Maintenance and Off-Roading Etiquette

    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.
