We’re joined by jeepin_idaho of the 4×4 Podcast to talk about gear for Geocachers and their Off-Highway Vehicles. He a couple of posts — “Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit” and “Ram Mount for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Installation” — from his podcast site. Some of the products he suggested were the dual battery kits, gravity water filters, Reliance Aqua-Tainer, Chuck Box, Fun Treks guides, and EveryTrail.
We heard from TheWinterTrio again about using the GPSR for Munzees. We talked a little about that and the three GSAK macros for bringing in Munzees; “MyMunzeesCSV,” “MyMunzeesV3CSV,” and “WGETmunzeecaps.”
Perhaps the most interesting mention in this episode was about a new set of giveaways we kicked off as of this recording. Thanks to Magellan, listeners all over the world have the chance to win an eXplorist GC. Brand 44 Colorado was also kind enough to provide a Geomate.jr with Update Kit, Geomate Large Log Cache, and a Geomate Gnome Cache for those within North America. Along with those four awesome gifts, the hosts of the GeoGearHeads will be pitching in a few items themselves to be given away through a drawing on Episode Beta.48 (November 29, 2012) (details available here).

The live video session from this Google+ Hangout On Air can be found on YouTube.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with Ryan of Extreme Landcruiser based out of Hesperia. We didn’t have much time so this was more of a parking lot meeting. I was running some errands and he was on his way to the paint shop and we just crossed paths.

Todays offroading question of the Day is, “have you ever read a book about offroading, overlanding or adventure travel?”

I’ve recently discovered this e-book from LifeRemotely.com. It’s really is a great resource that will help you systematically think about all that goes in to planning a long trip through desolate and developing areas of the world. I know there are many great books out there all about adventure travel, so what are your favorites?
