:: ::

The end of July brought our first Backcountry Discovery Route overlanding adventure as we traveled over 800 miles from the Canadian border to the South of Wenatchee, WA. On this episode, Ben Smith joins us as we debrief the trip beginning to end. We cover the terrain, mechanical failures and lessons learned. It's a long one so get your energy drink of choice and get ready to chew on the SXS Guys Offroad Podcast!
