It has been a while since we have graced the microphones with our presence. We decided to take some time for ourselves and just live life without the hassle of trying to get on here and do a podcast. It was a nice break, but we are back!

Life happens and changes. What has changed in Overlanding over the last several years? Is it the same for your today as it was many years ago? What has changed in the way you love to travel Over Land? Has it changed? Do you still do life as you did before or has your heart moved in a different direction.

In this podcast, we have no direction, we just catch up. We just talk about life and how life has affected us.

Have you got your setup the way you want it, or are you constantly taking a looking and contemplating a change in how you do what you do? We take a look at our setups and talk about what we have done to make them perfect for us, and how Tony is thinking of making a total change and why... We talk about how the setups involve sitting, cooking and sleeping and how those three things make up the bulk of our contemplation for setup. Join us as we do this show live and take input from listeners.

Luke from UltraliteSacks (www.ultralitesacks.com) stops by my home to visit with me about new and exciting materials that are available for gearmakers now in the backpacking world. It has only been a few years since Dyneema came on the scene and completely changed pack weight, size and what we have to carry every time we go out. Now, there are new and exciting materials, stronger than ever, that are available for gearmakers to make our gear lighter and stronger than it ever has been.

Luke loves to geek out on this kind of stuff so its fun to visit with him about this. He talks about some of the things he makes and why he makes different pieces of gear out of different materials and why.
