Welcome to botches off room join us as we talk
about everything from gear reviews to trail stories
Tent camping to rock landing and all things to
do with the outdoors So welcome welcome. It's
a North ology episode We're gonna do a little
bit of reading and some of the North ology Content
that's in the magazine this month. I Think we're
just gonna bounce through it though because Although
this is a very good issue, it's mostly pictures
and like short articles. So I think we're just
kind of going to talk about the entire magazine.
Yeah, because they had more just recently, so
they were quite busy. I'm going to start it off
from page one here too. Yeah, for sure. Are you
talking about the TC teardrop cover? Okay, okay.
Oh, right at the beginning. Cool, yeah. So it's
a really cool cover. Three matching TC teardrop
trailers being pulled by a Gladiator, a Lexus,
and a mystery car in the front. Mm -hmm. Yeah,
we were just checking these out. Alex goes, they're
not teardrops. I'm like, well... And then we
actually went to the website and they have some
badass teardrops on there. So they're, uh, they're
actually pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be, it's
not my style of camping, but you know, it's there.
I also just noticed that that one in the back
there on the cover is a dual axle trailer. You
know what? You're right. I think all of them
are. At least the second one is also the same.
You think so? Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, they've got
dual axle teardrop -like -ish trailers. They're
pretty cool. Yeah, they are. All right. Oh, we
got the Midland page. That's for page two. And
we can skip that kind of crap. Let's get you
know, I'm gonna breathe it. Oh the rig profile.
Mr. Joe Yamber. Oh Yeah Specifically his Sequoia.
Well, yeah, it's a rig profile, but I do this
took the Sequoia sick Anyone doesn't know I've
actually got an episode with super shitty sound
quality From a while back where me and Joe kind
of talked about his his rigs a little bit. So
the Sequoia is a 2017 Sequoia on 37s with a two
and a half inch lift Very very well done Beautiful
rig. I've seen this thing do shit that you wouldn't
expect a hippo to do so Yeah Yeah, he also uses
that school right? Yeah Toe is Cherokee around,
so... Yeah. It's his toe pig for his XJ. Most
ridiculously built toe rig I've ever seen. But
hey, it's a toe rig. I thought his Tanger was
cool, and then we went wheeling with him after
I got my truck. With this Koya, I'm like, oh
man, this Koya's quite something. That's probably
one of my favorite rigs that we've been out with.
But I had a hard time knowing who Joe was, because
every time I seen him, he was in a different
vehicle, dressed differently. So I was like,
who is this? What the hell? Well, now that I
got it figured out after kids camping, so. The
Sequoia is definitely my favorite, dude. Joe,
his wife, and his kids, they're some of the coolest
people I've ever met. Oh, yeah, they're great
people. Oh, 100%. But yeah, so that's the Sequoia.
We'll uh, we'll put the Sequoia as chapter art
for this section It's it's that it's that good.
You know, this might be cover art worthy. Yeah
Yeah Yeah Then we got some ad pages and The next
one is about chainsaw transport so this chainsaw
transport one It almost reads as an ad. Does
it say who wrote it? It just says Husqvarna how
to transport your chainsaw at the bottom there.
I bet you that this is an ad for the colpin off
-road vehicle chainsaw mount. I don't care. It's
very useful and very nice. You guys. Oh, they
also have the. RUS software chainsaw mount. So
they got two different mounts. Before you guys
get too deep into that, go back a page and go
to the Northology Adventures. They have an Amazon
storefront. Where people are adding items that
they think are in, like they have like winter
camping essentials. This? This is sick. I just
saw that. I'm trying to like come over. I bet
you they're all affiliated too, which is a great
way to support. Yeah, great way to support Northology
right there. Well, the ignic, they got the fire
can for the winter essentials. That's definitely
something I'm looking into as well, especially
right now. It's so dry. There's like massive
burn bands all throughout Michigan. So, yeah.
That's one way to be able to still have a fire.
Um, that Nebo, that Nebo slim work light, I actually
have one of those. I fucking love it. So, um,
it's like a USB rechargeable, like with what
your phone charges off of, um, got a little clip
on there. It's actually really damn bright and
I could just clip it to the collar of my shirt
while I'm working. I love it. So, um, and I guess.
Since I'd have experience with it the aura stone
The hand warm. It's a it's a rechargeable hand
warmer I actually bought sienna two of these
and she uses them at work in the winter because
their stores always cold So you'd sheep actually
has them in her jacket pockets, and she'll use
them so I figure while we're here if it's something
that I have experience about I'll talk about
it a little bit, but I Do think it's kind of
funny that they have like the most expensive
versions of most of these Yeah, but while they're
not necessarily looking for the cheapest, you
know. No, it's just kind of funny. They have...
Like the diesel heater, that's like the most
expensive kind of diesel heater you can buy.
Yeah, it was actually cheaper than what I thought
it was gonna be, though. I will say that. Like,
it is one of the more expensive ones. But $255
for it all to be encased? Honestly, I'm not...
I'm not hating it. Have prices went up because
I bought an all encased one for like 80 bucks.
Probably then. No, prices have not. You can get
one for about 100 bucks. So prices went up 20
bucks. I'll have to look because when I was looking
at a building my own, it was almost just as expensive.
Yeah, it's... Hey Alex. What's up? You think
mercy to joy a folding elevated dog better. She's
still on her crate. Yeah the 50 car. Yeah, I've
seen that I Think she would prefer her tote.
She likes to be in a box Let's see fall camping
essential. Let's see what they got in there Not
much so far was updated a year ago. They have
midden walkies TP kits The Dometic go faucet
I do have that I do like it That's also USB rechargeable.
It is, it's nice to have. It's definitely not
like a, it's one of those like bougie upgrades.
It's nice though. Same with the Midland Jeep
handhelds. Okay, so I like Midland, right? I
think Midland makes some good gear. But I've
noticed lately, they've just been slapping Jeep
logos on stuff and charging more for them. If
Jeep buyers like buy it, screw them. That's how
I feel. Like, let's look up a... Can I just copy?
Come on, you piece of junk. Yeah, because you
also have the MXT Jeep Edition one, too. Right.
Let's look up this radio without the Jeep part.
I can't lie, though. I bought my Xbox based off
of it being Halo Edition. And they made cheaper
ones that weren't. So, I mean, I guess it's just
one of those things. I did spend $75 on a Halo
3 shell for myself. Yeah. So, I get it. We're
not bashing it. We're just like, it's there.
We notice and how much was the? What was the
one that metal gear metal gear they did have
a metal you have a metal gear one They have a
metal gear Zune. It's a Zune 120 And it is like,
it's crazy expensive. Not near as bad as the,
like the pink Zune, the Hello Social pink Zune.
That's like a $3 ,000 Zune. A media player from
2006. It's three grand. Oh. Yeah. So, I don't
have the most expensive Zune you could buy, but
it's up there. It's up there. Mm -hmm. All right.
Yeah, that was cool, man. That's I don't know
if she just started that. No, it's something
they've been doing. That's that's 2022 black
Friday. So I was like, there's 2022 Black Friday.
They have it. Yeah, I never noticed it. It's
really horrible camping or your foldable camping
toilet that you have, Alex, something similar
to what I imagine you have. I have the same one
you have. I thought you said you had a different
one, my bad. No, I haven't bought a different
one yet expo recovery boards. I do have excuse
me the wise owl outfitters Those they make a
really good hammock I have I have one of their
hammocks and it's actually really nice But we
should move on to chainsaws now Yep, chainsaws
are more fun. I don't know about that. Yeah,
so These chainsaw mounts are really sick though.
I'm looking at this colpin one and it looks like
it's got bar mounts So you could even mount it
to your bumper mark Mm -hmm. And I don't know
if I want to do that though now But you could
is what I'm saying. It's only a hundred bucks.
I mean, it's a good deal. I like the idea of
chainsaw mounts Because that's a secure safe
way to store a chainsaw The problem is that I
never have anywhere good to put one. Yeah, I
say the downside of having an electric saw is
that I would love to have an outside, like outside
the vehicle storage solution. Like I'd love to
be able to rotomold a case for my saw that was
waterproof that I can actually mount outside.
Okay, do you want the like pro tip? Just put
a garbage bag over it? Buy a really cheap Harbor
Freight Chainsaw Keep the batteries inside Leave
it outside all the time and it works every time
you put a battery I could do that I've left it
out in the rain before I just don't want to tempt
fate, you know It's like as long as there's no
battery in it as long as there's no battery in
it. You're fine It's like it's like I don't I
don't know how to explain it. It's like why Why
put it through the abuse if it doesn't have to?
Like at that point, like I have a, I have it
in my truck right now. It actually stands vertically.
It fits between the seats. Uh, and that just
holds it right there. So it's good for now. I
want to pick up, I want to pick up a four cycle
or four stroke chainsaw. So I don't have to run
mixed gas. Um, They're not as powerful as a two
-stroke, but they're just as reliable, and they
have a lot of benefits, like not having to run
mixed gas. Senex. So... Yep. Senex makes them.
When I worked at Tractor Supply, we had them
for a few. They were like 150 bucks, if that,
I think. They're like 110 now. And... So they're
they're pretty cheap and you know what you don't
really feel bad Leaving it out everywhere for
the price. I think for a Trail chainsaw, I think
it's perfect Yeah, I really do like having my
battery one although The space that I use for
batteries is probably the same space you'd use
for fuel I just like that I could start it up.
I don't have to waste time pulling it That's
the only upside. So the pro tip, right, is you
run another fuel line to your fuel tank with
a little valve, and then you can just fill it
right from your car's fuel tank. Yeah. Or I'll
just bring a spare fuel can. That's... Which
is probably gonna happen anyway. Ah, spare fuels
for losers. If that, I could just put... I'll
just throw my Dometic into the fuel tank and
push... Yeah At that point yeah, no, it's yeah,
I feel pump I Mean, I've been running that bower
chain saw for a while. I've never had any major
issues with it. It's just it's a little slow
But it's only 20 volts. So no mines mines worked
really good. I have no complaints power wise.
It's my only complaint would be that I don't
want to tempt fate with the waterproofness of
it, but That I would love to be able to just
throw it out I have thrown it out in my kangaroo
pouch in the back of it, you know my trasharoo
I have thrown it out there when I'm growing on
trails that I have to trim more often Which no
big deal like I especially if it is a little
rainy. It wasn't raining super bad Sprinkling
I didn't really care. It was fine but just one
of those things like Really don't want to have
to worry about it and I'd love to have a waterproof
case mount so that that's just taken care of
so that I can mount to the wheel. Yeah, so moving
on. The New Holland Overland on here now. Oh
yeah, look at that. It's pretty cool. Bookmarks.
No. I'm going to have to send that to my wife,
actually. Yeah. but we can skip past the ads.
We'll never get through it if we read through
all those. So next up is a bunch of pictures
of the Midwest discovery routes. So this is kind
of cool. Getting ready for more, they set up
these Midwest discovery routes that came from
like different. parts of the country coming to
more. Yeah, one north. Yeah, one north, one west,
one east, one south. So the goal was that you
could wheel all the way to more, pretty much.
It's pretty sick. And I wish I knew where these
pictures were taken in Tulsa. But the Tulsa.
Oh, I know. The Tulsa route, they're in a cave.
Yeah, that's sick. It's sick. It is sick The
Little Rock route is beautiful and they found
snow which is interesting so they must have been
on a mountain Had to be a mountain, but yeah
the one picture of the mountains looked like
snow Yeah, Little Rock looked like it was a good
trip that first picture there with the swamp
that is just oh that is that is pretty yeah It
is Mean the st. Louis looked like they had some
good water crossings Yep, is that an OBS Ford
And which one the Kansas City row I Know no,
that's got to be like a Comanche no Ranger it's
got to be a ranger ranger ranger ranger That
thing's sick. That is sick. Let me see here.
All the pictures are just far enough away that
I can't quite tell what it is. Yeah, there's
a picture of it on the bridge that really clears
it up. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's definitely
an OBS Ranger. That's sick. OBS Rangers were
the best -looking Rangers, in my opinion. Mm
-hmm. I'm pretty partial to the 70s original
Ranger. Hi, even though it's a full -size page.
I just love OBS in general Just the years that
sentimental 84 through 97 Yep Yeah, no the Kansas
City route looked cool, it's not I'd say that's
probably my least favorite so far that we've
seen yeah But the other Tulsa's the other two
routes are just so cool Tulsa's the winner dude
like st. Louis is pretty don't get me wrong that
bridge is sick the train bridge But you know
being able to just drive through a cave like
that would be so fucking fun all would be Next
up the next article I actually almost wanted
to do an episode with this one, but it We don't
know enough about the topic to interject and
it would be there's recipes and stuff so it would
have been kind of like Just reading a list so
it wouldn't have made it for a great episode
But no, they're talking about a wild harvest
or foraging while camping This is one of my absolute
favorite things. Oh, yeah I Last year, I didn't
make any fried fiddleheads but I love fried fiddleheads.
Delicious. I will... I mean, Mark's been with
me when I went and got wild onions and put that
in our food. Yep. We don't really have any asparagus
near us, but wild asparagus is... Oh, it's fantastic.
I think when... I hope my coworker, the one summer
pick, wild asparagus. When I was a kid, we used
to camp down at Turkey Run every year. That was
like the big thing is we'd spend the whole time
just picking asparagus and eating it Yeah, yeah,
it's I have similar ditch Memories where my dad
had a ditch that he would get the asparagus from
Along I've never rural route. I've never done
ramps. I haven't found either I've had So like
in Michigan, there's a lot of like green onion
like green like the green onion leaves I've done
a lot of that, so morel mushroom. Like leeks?
Yeah, leeks basically. Morel mushroom and beefsteak
foraging in Michigan is like a big thing for
our family. Oh yeah, my coworkers are all hunting
for morels right now. What we would do is we
would go foraging for morels, the leeks and asparagus
and we would find it. I've only had the three
at once, one time. but my dad made steaks with
a morel mushroom like what is that a jus? He
fried the morel mushrooms and then took the morels
out added butter a little bit more butter made
like that gravy jus and then poured it over added
the morel mushrooms and then we had the green
onions and then he had tin foil asparagus And
that's like my perfect fucking dinner right there.
That's my best. So, uh, fun facts about my house.
Mark knows this. I've got about six acres of
wild onions on the backside of my property. Yeah.
Yes. And right now is wild onion harvest time,
so if you want some, come get some. I forget
some, yeah. Maybe something fun we can do. Because
I can't... I cannot pick them fast enough. I
tried selling them. Uh, there's a guy that buys
them, but it's so much fricking work. It's just,
it's not worth it, but yeah. I mean, come pick
some, man. I got so many. I can't, I don't know
what to do with them all. Sienna hasn't had a
morale yet and she's a big mushroom girl. So
I've yet to find any morels this year, but we
haven't, I haven't gone, you know, searching
too long. Um, Back when Mercy was a young pup,
she could smell out morels and would lead you
to them. Now she just goes for a walk in the
woods and ignores all the smells. That's a golden
dog right there. Morels are one of the most expensive
mushrooms that you could buy per pound. She also
used to be the dog that would go out and just
come back with a deer shed. She doesn't do that
anymore. Man. Nope. Not useful at all. It's like
she got old or something. Lame. But yeah, wild
foraging is just, it's probably one of the best
parts of camping, honestly. Another thing that
isn't really talked about much is wild teas that
you can make, like blackberry tea, sunflower,
sumac. If you actually do your research, you
can make, it's like a Native American tea with
sumac, wild sumac. And there's so many different
things in Michigan that you can make tea from,
pine needles, wild mint, spearmint that grows.
You can find that just about anywhere in Michigan.
So I mean, it's really bitter. A lot of the times,
we always add local honey into it, and that's
kind of how we drink it when we do. If you're
really feeling adventurous, and I learned this
when I got stinging needles, but you can make
a stinging nettle tea that is supposedly really
good. It's anti -inflammatory. Oh, that whole
process. I can't imagine Alex going for stinging
nettles after his last incident with them. No
interest. No. And it's not super easy to do the
whole process either. It took us a while to actually
boil them out and clean them up. And it just
wasn't worth it at the end. It was still bitter.
So like I think the sumac tea, well, it was like
they call it like lemonade basically, but It
works a lot like sun tea. You just leave it out
like that. Really good. Oh, dude, I feel so dumb.
So what I've always called leaks are what's a
ramp. That's why I've never been able to figure
out what a ramp is. They're the same thing. That's
the same thing. Well, leaks are just... Yeah,
I've got lots of ramps. As you say, leaks are
just the green onion, like the leaf part. Yeah,
ramps are they'll actually like underground onions
Yeah The the one rule and this one I did know
is you never take more than 10 % of no no never
and they they talk about that and That follows
for like blackberries and stuff too obviously
if you ever pick it out blackberries And you're
any kind of remote wilderness look for bears,
but they're like we blackberry jam It's like
one of my favorite jams There was a place that
I didn't spend the money and I wish I did, but
they had Huckleberry Jam. It was in the U .P.
It was a little store along the, kind of along
the coast. It was a little farther back. But
if I ever go back up there, I'm going to buy
it. It was very expensive. They got featured
by some critique that came by just so happily.
Picked it up. and he loved it so much it was
like a big thing for a while and so now it's
super expensive for huckleberry jam but yeah
I mean there's a lot of good foods especially
in Michigan that you can forage throughout the
year if you know what you're looking for like
puff balls you can make uh you know before they're
actually puff uh the mushroom yeah you can make
those little steaks uh chicken of the woods um
it's pretty good You just got to know what you're
looking for. But yeah. I think the best part
about this, sorry, sorry, I think Mark it was
you, but the best part about this is - You're
good. When you do this when you're camping and
you're using seasonal ingredients when you're
out there, there's something special about that.
Like when you catch the fish from the lake and
you have the asparagus, the morales, the leeks
or something that you can pair with it. That's
a whole different type of meal than what you're
getting out of your fridge or cooler or anything
like that. Tastes way better. We should get our
fishing license and small animal licenses and
just have a like foraging camping trip. I'm down.
Yes, I think my fishing license renewed by now.
Yeah, I gotta get a new one. Yeah, I got a I
got a new one, but you can now get the fishing
and small game all -in -one license So huh? We're
gonna do it then didn't know that All right,
let's move on. So I I went on or I'm sorry. I
went on to the next What's up? Yeah I uh I went
on to the next page there and there's an ad and
I know what I said about ads But it says sleep
fat sleep better and it's showing a tent For
leveling your rooftop tent It's literally just
scissorjacks underneath the rooftop tent Yeah
Hey speaking of which we should probably talk
about the page next to it. What's next to it?
The Midwest woman's off -road weekend. Oh, yeah,
there's a out there for female listeners any
female I don't think we have any I Don't think
so either but Sydney oh yeah female listeners
Yeah, if Cindy's listening, I'm sure she doesn't
know about the thing that she her name is on
it Right underneath Gary Porter and Jill just
in case you forgot May 30th, but the Midwest
women's off -road weekend Yeah, now they're doing
something that I actually have talked to you
guys about doing they're doing education Yeah,
yeah, I'm really excited that gets us started
That's sick dude and Yeah, so I had this idea
what like six months ago or something like that
Since I came up with it. I've seen like three
or four events that people have posted about
that style of trip, and I'm like... But, you
know, whatever. Whatever. Yeah. But yeah, that
looks like it would be a fun weekend. I've tried
to get Carrie Porter on before, but... Busy lady.
She is a very, very busy woman. Very busy woman.
Yeah. I clicked on that link for the Dead Miner's
Handmade Goods. That is pretty cool, actually.
I was gonna look into that, too. Oh, that wallet's
sick. Yeah. Oh, that is a sick wallet. It's like
a low -profile but still fully leather wallet.
Yeah. Like, that is... Yeah. Man, they make some
sick stuff. Do you see? They have a MagSafe wallet.
Yeah. Do you see the portable cribbage board?
Oh, yeah. No. These guys are cool. I like this.
Yeah. They have some sick apparel, too. Yeah,
no, that's... The dead hat. It's got it on a
pug. Their stickers are so... Dude, that's so
funny. Their stickers are sick. Their stickers.
Like, these guys... All right. These guys are
my new favorites. I have nothing from them. I
have no idea, but it looks of quality, and it's
handmade. Look at the captain hat. The firewood
totes. They're also captain hat and apparel.
Absolutely sick. Icon of the quinoa stickers.
Oh, I got some cool stickers from the quinoa.
Quinoa? The food? Oh. The peninsula? Dude, oh,
the peninsula. I should do a captain's hat. A
botch's off -road captain's hat would be sick.
Oh, that holographic sticker is fucking sick.
Okay. Back to Northology, guys. See, this is
why I'm saying this. It's cool to go into this
stuff. Yeah, it is cool. Forest roads and trail
opening dates. They have a spirit board. A handmade
spirit board. Oh, no. And suddenly we're being
killed in the woods. Oh, man. That is so cool.
Alright, alright, I'm back on I'm back on hold
on I Really don't even want to read this article
it just talks about when State roads and trails
are open. Well, we've we've done and talked about
this a little bit before so it'd be kind of reiterating
I some of this I feel like we've kind of beat
this one into the dirt. Yeah, mostly just Make
sure that the trail you want to go on is open
at that time. Don't go on it when you're not
supposed to, because we don't want to see our
shit shut down. And pick up your shit when you're
done. Please. Don't leave anything behind. Please.
Next page. Please. Like me, leaving my suave
-ware behind and forgetting about it for six
months and then remembering it and feeling terrible.
We'll be back to pick it up. Oh, look. A big
radio chatter... Well, okay, so I have any changes
to our favorite upgrade to our rig Since we've
done a bunch more since the last few months Well,
oh and that is the conversation starter for radio
chatter nice tie in there it is I Guess I'm certain
me my new bumpers I I still gotta put a winch
on the front one, but those new bumpers have
been quite the upgrade for the truck. I don't
think I've done anything to the 4Runner except
fix stuff. Yeah, I've also done fixing none of
your packouts. My Savage skid plate's pretty
cool. No, they're all old. I've had those for
a year. But my, uh... My Savage skid plate's
pretty sick. I'm glad that I was able to find
one of those, since they don't make them anymore.
I need to finish getting that mounted before
Leatherwood, because I only have the front two
skids on, and I have two more to install. Yeah.
I think mine's in between, right now, the Princy
rack and the winch. I just love that I have those
on right now. I probably say the Princey rack
right now because it's the freshest and it's
only because It's so much easier now to mount
the things that I want and to take them off when
I need to And that thing is way sturdier. I don't
know if I told you guys but that old roof rack
was bent in two to three inches So that's what
you said not not supportive. This one's very
very easy to put stuff on so yeah Yeah, if it's
anything like the front -runner rack I have it's
pretty well built And they gave us everything
they gave me Loctite they gave me The the sealant
for the the holes on the roof like on the actual
roof. I forget what it's called the black stuff
So, I mean they included everything in there
each bag was labeled for each part Yeah, I mean
it was really nice very I went right to YouTube
They had a whole set up on my rig on how to do
it. And once I figured that out, it was easy
peasy. No. Alex, do you have a card? Yeah. I
thought you were getting the card out for a second.
No, that brings us. That was the card that they
had. Yeah, I thought. I switched over to you
and I thought you were going into one and I'm
like, oh. I mean, the game is here somewhere
on my desk. I could, but... No, that's okay.
We could save that. I was about to say, how messy
are your desks right now? Well, I cleaned it
the other day, so pretty messy. There's one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
There's no shortage of empty cans and bottles.
And there's at least four spitters on here. All
right, so no and some of those empty bottles
became spitters Yeah, I would so next we got
a Couple more advertisements for upcoming events.
We got mission overland title sponsor range to
ranch retreat in Idaho We got the core 20 looks
like it'd be a fun. It does Yeah, it doesn't
like a fun core of course That's coming up. And
then more. I. Events like core or more, like
I think they're awesome and I'm really glad that
they exist. But they're not an event that I think
I would enjoy. I I do. I would like to at least
go to one of them at some point. Exactly. To
me, I'd like to do it once. To me, they're like
overland car shows. It's like a chance for you
to go out and see everyone set up and to talk
to everybody about You know what their gear is
to see vendors and their gear I I'd love to go.
I'd like to go. Yes. I mean just once there's
a guy making a pizza at the top corner and I
would try a sample of that pizza. I would it
looks delicious like And I always watch videos
of people that went to, like, Morricor, and it
looks like a blast. It just... It's so different
from the kind of event that I normally would
go to, you know? Yeah. Is it bad, Alex? I didn't
say it was. Mark, page two of this Morr thing,
there's someone using a motorcycle pop -up camper.
Really? Yep, Corey Hoffman. It's behind a red...
Looks like Tacoma. Oh, yeah, you're right. That
way that works is sick, because he's got that
270 awning and he's got it covering the door
of that pop -up camper. Yeah, that's nice. I've
always saw those on Facebook and I thought, man,
that'd be interesting if they weren't so tiny.
They're not tiny, dude. You can get those that
fold up to two queen -size beds and a dining
room. Oh, I didn't mean like tiny, I meant like
the footprint. They're like super tiny trailers
because they pull behind motorcycles. Well, that's
that's what makes them so great. I think they'd
be a really cool like in bed Tent for somebody.
Yeah for sure that they fold up. Yeah get to
the campsite and just Yeah, what a very easy
idea for You're trying getting me to do I did
try to get you to do it because they're just
so cool I want someone to do it And some of them
are lighter than your average rooftop tent. Like,
they have ones that are only 120 pounds. Yeah.
Yep. So you could almost just mount one to your
roof and boom, you've got the coolest rooftop
tent ever. Oops. Did you guys see that? Did you
see that rooftop tent I sent to the group chat
earlier? Yeah, the VW, the bug. The one from
the... It's like a 70s rooftop tent. Yeah. No.
It was super sick. Not see this it's a car back
camper rooftop tent Made in Tampa, Florida. Ah,
okay things fucking cool But anyways back to
back to North ology here Yeah, the uh, that's
cool Darren Parker's little uh, I can't see who
makes that mission critical maybe That camper.
I love that design of camper. I just, ah, they're
so cool. Yeah. I do like those. They're like
the, have the, like the built in 10 rooftop,
10 in them that expands your. And whoever Jared
pace who showed up to a more with the GMC old
fifties, GMC dually pickup. He's my new favorite
person. Oh, yeah, I like to see that. I like
more pictures of that one. It's literally just
a steakside truck, but whatever. I'm wondering
if these are who's taking the pictures or...
I just figured that out, too. Yeah, because Sydney
Pulp is taking a lot of pictures here, and she's
definitely not one of the dudes in this picture.
Yep, and Matthew Falls is very feminine looking.
Yeah, right. So... I see pets that go. Yeah.
Well, whoever's GMC old truck it is it's a sweet
ring. I love to see more nice picture Jared pace.
It's a great picture. Oh We could do that No,
I won't do that. I am gonna mute myself and take
this my name is Jared Lewis. Okay Yeah, well,
we'll move on then while he takes his important
phone call for a turkey. Yeah We go another page
forward and it's more expo All roads taken app.
I haven't seen that before I might download it
and see what that was It was spam guys. It was
spam. Oh, okay. Yeah, it just looked important
Then we have how to find dispersed camping spots.
We beat that in. Identify, look, investigate,
search, reference, obey, obey, and then tread
lightly. So we've done that. We've talked about
that a lot. If you guys want us to go into more
updated or new detail, let us know. Keep it moving.
And then we get into clean up camp out. cork
and then we get into like an ADV directory for
Experiences comms and navigation. Hey Who's this
botches off road in there? We're in their media.
We got boxes in there That's specialty all roads
taken radio chatter red zone wireless So do you
do you know what all roads taken is? Is it the
app? No, so you've seen the Jeep badge of honor
stuff. This is Jeep badge of honor, but for everybody.
Oh, that's sick Yeah, and they use it they used
to have like see if they still have marble head
No, they don't have marble head anymore, but
they used to have all sorts of cool stuff in
Michigan that you could do It's it's just a very
cool Thing really Mm -hmm. They haven't a Michigan
all roads taken like just the whole thing. They
have a Manistee National Forest. That's kind
of sick Yeah, and then like Hollyoke Silver Lake
Bundy Hill Where's the Hiawatha National Forest
Don't know that's here in Michigan Oh, probably
UP then? Marblehead Loop, it's 20 bucks. Oh.
So, yeah, All Road Second's a cool idea. I mean,
Jeep Badge of Honor was a cool idea, so why shouldn't
it be cool for everybody, you know? Oh, yeah.
Wait. Why do all the other podcasts have, like,
a full picture thing here on the right? The Momentum,
Overland Radio. What do we got to do to pay for
that? I want a big botches logo in there. What
are you talking about? The ADV directory on the
right. Oh, we do get our logo later in the...
Not like that, though. In the other section.
Not like that. So, our logo's there. Oh, okay,
whatever. No, Northology's cool. Don't be ungrateful,
Alex. Northology's cool. I think that it's definitely
something everybody should sign up for, especially
if you wheel in the Midwest. Oh, I just realized
there isn't coffee. Yeah. Michigan, specifically
from Midwest 4x4 is deposited in here, too. It's
the only, well, I guess there is two of them
now, because there isn't coffee. There isn't
no coffee, too. Yeah. Yeah, North ology is a
pretty pretty fun time these national forest
patches are kind of cool I Think I've seen those
before and think there's also one where they
were like Star Wars patches, too Yeah, but these
are like where I there's no leak for them I Think
I saw them somewhere else and I'm looking for
them This is probably the most boring episode
anyone's listened to Just us gawking adventures
we can't go on right now, yeah But that's see
this comes out on Tuesday, which means it's how
many weeks before leather would Oh, get out of
here steam We're super super close. So if this
comes out on Tuesday, this will come out on Tuesday,
May 20th That means we will have we got three
weeks. Well when this comes out, it'll be two
weekends Yeah, two weekends as a whole I was
saying like three weeks roughly before the actual
week And to think, Duncan doesn't have time to
fix his truck this weekend or next weekend, which
means his only weekend will be the 31st. I don't
think that thing's getting lifted before Leatherwood,
guys. No. No. Unless... No. I don't see it. It's
gonna be a crunch. I thought it was gonna be
a crunch game, my C4 bumper, and I was quite
surprised I came in a lot sooner than expected.
And you got the C4 bumper and a little bees bumper,
and you thought it was gonna be a crunch for
the C4. Yes, I thought it was gonna be a crunch
for the C4. Now, they look sick, man. I'm really
impressed with how your truck's going now. Yes.
Oh, I need to order that tire carrier this weekend.
to put in the bed of your truck. Yep. Did you...
I was going to say, did you guys talk about the
fact that the botches lead guy Alex was on the
last month's issue? He was featured. Alex was
featured in last month's issue. Along with...
I think? Along with an artist. I thought we talked
about that. I don't know if we did. It might
have been when I was off, but I just figured
I'd point that out, too. If anybody actually
wants to see Alex's rig in the issue, they can
go back to last month's and see that. I thought
we made a joke like some losers on this front
page for the rigs. I also think it's funny because
not a single one of those pictures actually looks
like my truck. Yes, they do. Maybe the one where
it's on 35s. Nope, that one also is not my truck
right now. Every one of them looks like your
truck. Yeah. Not a single one looks like my truck
because it's missing its sliders. He's got truck
body dysporphia. Oh. He needs to update his pictures.
That's what he's talking about because I added
those sliders, you know, yeah I'm sorry if anyone
heard that it's just a sad mercy. Oh But yeah,
this is good place to call it. I think I think
everyone's hurt. Oh Yeah, this was Yeah, she's
really looking for attention now She thinks it's
time to eat, I think. Oh, her ear is pretty down.
It is time to eat. She definitely thinks it's
time to eat. So on that note, I better go feed
my dog. All right. And I'm going to go feed myself.
All right. See you later. Catch you guys later.
Later. Above the crowd of people, things in places
in my head But I'll never forget that bumpy ride
through the countryside Excuse me as well, I
try like hell But nothing comes to mind
