  • The day JD forgot how to drive in sand.

    This is one of my most favorite unscripted podcasts in the internet. Your host JD is exactly in person as he is on the podcast: Perfectly unprepared and chaotic. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. This podcast is authentic and a real behind the scenes look at off-roading. Just remember to always air down when driving in sand.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

They Can Close A Trail By Pretending It Never Existed | Waypoints | Ep 148
Q: What were you testifying in front of Congress for, Mr. Hixon?
Chad explains PLORA, the Public Lands Access Restoration Act, was driven by a push to codify presumption of open travel on federal lands and to create a standardized framework for access that can withstand political shifts, including engaging with a lobbyist in DC and leveraging agreements at the regional level to streamline trail work.
"It's Your Best, Worst Weekend" : The Florida Trail Team Challange #111
Q: What role do sponsors and land managers play in the event's success?
Sponsors provide equipment and funding, while land managers enable the event by granting access and permitting; the host emphasizes partnerships over mere sponsorship and highlights how gear is demonstrated and taught during the weekend.
"It's Your Best, Worst Weekend" : The Florida Trail Team Challange #111
Q: Who can participate, and what makes a good team?
The competition welcomes a mix of families, friends, veterans, and new off-roaders; success hinges on communication, shared task execution, and the ability to adapt to multiple types of challenges rather than sheer horsepower.
"It's Your Best, Worst Weekend" : The Florida Trail Team Challange #111
Q: How does the Florida Trail Team Challenge work in practice over a weekend?
Teams rotate through three blocks of 15 challenges each day, with checkpoints to verify safety and hydration, and the event emphasizes off-grid living, real-world troubleshooting, and teamwork rather than pure speed.

Fran found a casting call on Instagram for an overlanding TV show, decided to apply, and progressed through rounds until Rich invited her to join, ultimately choosing to go solo to challenge herself.
