Welcome to the Overland Bonfire Podcast, where we talk all things overlanding, adventure, and the gear that makes it all possible. This is the place to swap stories, share wisdom, and nerd out on everything from storage solutions to suspension upgrades.
Hosted by the team at Blue Ridge Overland Gear, we bring you real conversations with seasoned overlanders, industry pros, and everyday explorers who live for the journey. So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger), and join us by the fire.

Shop Talk & Recent Updates | Bonfire Podcast
A little bit of everything in this one 🔥
In this Bonfire episode, we’re catching up after some great guests on the last few episodes — talking through what’s been going on lately, what’s happening in the shop, and a mix of topics that come up naturally along the way.
From day-to-day work and current projects to random tangents and ongoing conversations, this is a laid-back episode that feels more like sitting in on a real conversation than following a set topic.
