I've got no topic for this episode, so I use it as a clearinghouse for a bunch of things I wanted to talk about. I give a huge thanks to my lovely wife, Susan, for giving the gift of new overlanding gear for Valentine's Day! I talk about some new features in OnX, some of my favorite podcasts returning from the dead; listen up because there's a little bit of everything in this one!

Should overlanders be peppers? You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist. I won't speculate on the existence of zombies, but I will point out that over three million Americans are displaced from their homes - at least temporarily - by natural disasters every year. If you can't be at home, a well-built overlanding rig can be the next best thing, but is it really ready? Sitting out there in the garage or driveway right now? Let's get into some things that you might want to have on the rig if it ever comes down to relying on your vehicle for your family's survival.

Join me for a whole new season! In this episode, I talk about some travel trends that are shaping up to be big for Overlanding. I also talk about trips and events we have planned for the year. Tread Lightly! figures heavily into my New Year's resolution and it should in yours too. All that, and I drop some new beats as well.
