What constitutes a BLT? Gray water and Overlanding

Never be afraid to question those who appear to be "in the know". The so called "knowledgable" among us aren't always right. So, whether its the contents of a BLT (seems straight forward, right?) or the proper disposal of gray water....rise up and let your questions be heard!! Lastly, for God's sake, don't believe everything or everyone you see on YouTube! Sincerely, The Overland Curmudgeon

Fakes, frauds and generally poor business people in Overlanding

Season 2 Episode 12- Changes, Purging, Excitement For The Future

It’s been a weird few weeks so far in 2021. Change is good. Refocusing on priorities is a good thing. Sometimes closing your circle or being careful who you let inside your gates is always a good thing. Some deep thoughts in this episode. I will try not to make this a habit lol.
