    JD sits down with Virgil from NorthBound Expeditions and NBX Trail Gear for a laid-back conversation about Jeeps, handmade gear, and the kind of trips that stick with you long after you get home. Virgil shares how he went from growing up in Luxembourg to building a life in Nova Scotia, serving in the Canadian Army, creating overland content, and turning his own need for better storage into NBX Trail Gear. The conversation gets into his JK “Fury,” his new 2025 Gladiator build, G.A.R.B. bags, custom trail gear, Cordura fabric, YouTube storytelling, and why good overlanding gear usually comes from people who actually spend time on the trail. JD and Virgil also talk about Eastern Canada travel, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick woods restrictions, and how quickly access issues can hit a community when nobody is organized to push back. This one is a good hang for anyone who loves Jeep builds, overlanding, handmade trail gear, and the stories behind small companies in the off-road world.📍Trails and DestinationsNova Scotia ATV, Off-road, and 4-WheelingNew Brunswick Overland AdventureGaspésie Peninsula, QuebecNorthern Quebec / NunavikVermont🛠️ Gear and ToolsNBX Trail GearG.A.R.B. 2.1XXL GARB 2.1Tailgate G.A.R.B.5 lbs Propane Tank Carrier 2.011 lbs Propane Tank CarrierBouge RV Diesel Heater BagChainsaw BagGriddle BagMassive Annex BagOverlander Travel BagMulti Purpose Kit Bag / Air Compressor BagRebel Off Road Flatbed Tray and Canopy SystemAlu-Cab Canopy Camper DeluxeTune M1 Truck CamperFIFTYTEN Off-Road CampersCORDURA Advanced FabricsTrasharooRockJock 4x42025 Jeep GladiatorGoPro Cameras🚙 Community Shoutouts395JNKYJD: MeAndMyYellowJKNorthBound Expeditions on YouTubeNorthBound Expeditions on InstagramNorthBound Expeditions on FacebookVirgil from NorthBound Expeditions🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance📰 News TopicsNova Scotia Travel and Activities in Woods Restricted to Prevent WildfiresNova Scotia Provincewide Woods Ban Court RulingNew Brunswick Fire Watch and Outdoor Activity Restrictions📅 Events and ResourcesNBX Adventure New BrunswickNBX Planning ResourcesNBX Minimum RequirementsNB Expedition - BeginningsNorthBound Expeditions BlogNorthBound Expeditions Media / Adventure Driven Productions📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    JD sits down with Steve and Katie Botkin of Epic Adventure Duo for a fun, grounded conversation about marriage, overlanding, and the kind of off-road life that’s built on real miles instead of parking-lot hype. They talk through how camping, dirt bikes, and years of Jeep ownership led them to Trail Hero Expeditions, where their expert navigation, camp rhythm, and well-used Gladiator helped carry them to a third-place finish. Along the way, they swap stories from Moab, Sand Hollow, Baja, and Montana snow wheeling, plus a few challenge moments that were equal parts chaos and comedy. The episode also gets into gear choices, trail strategy, and why the Grand Canyon stretch of the route became one of the most memorable parts of the whole experience. If you like real-world adventure couples, capable rigs, and honest trail talk without the fluff, this one’s worth your time.Steve & Katie Botkin: Epic Adventure Duo📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, UtahTop of the World, UtahFins and Things, UtahHell's Revenge, UtahPoison Spider Mesa, UtahGold Bar Rim, UtahGolden Spike, UtahMoab Rim, UtahPoughkeepsie Gulch, ColoradoLogandale Trail Network, NevadaGrand Canyon North Rim, ArizonaWhitmore Canyon Overlook and Whitmore Point, ArizonaGold Butte National Monument, Nevada🛠️ Gear and ToolsJeep GladiatorHarker Outdoors EDC CamperJeep Performance Parts by MoparFOX ShocksMethod Race WheelsWARN WinchesFactor 55Starlink813 Fabrication & Design Compressor MountsARB Twin On-Board Air CompressorKingpin EquippedVoodoo Riders🚙 Community ShoutoutsDirt LifestyleJD: MeAndMyYellowJKRich KleinSteve & Katie Botkin: Epic Adventure Duo🌎 Advocacy & ConservationUtah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)BlueRibbon Coalition📰 News TopicsTrail Hero Expeditions — Season OneTrail Hero TV📅 Events and ResourcesTrail Hero XTrail Hero ExpeditionsTrail Hero TVVeyo Pies📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    JD is joined by Bryan, Calvin, and Joe for a live show packed with Easter Jeep Safari 2026 reactions, Moab complaints, busted parts, and the official death of JD’s long-running lifetime Jeep warranty. The crew recaps Coyote Canyon, Metal Masher, Behind the Rocks, and the general chaos around EJS, including speed-limit changes, enforcement, expensive lodging, and why the event feels less friendly to regular wheelers than it used to. They also tear into Jeep’s latest concept vehicles, giving credit where it’s due but calling out the stuff that feels more like recycled trim packages than real ideas. Joe talks through the madness of fixing rigs in and around BFG Garage, Calvin reports fresh post-EJS breakage, and JD admits the JK may finally be nearing the end of the road while he starts thinking about what comes next. Add TYRI lights, prototype-vehicle chatter, off-road recovery liability, right-to-repair teasers, and one completely ridiculous argument about a 12-volt hot dog roller, and this one feels like classic Trailhead chaos in the best way—so give it a listen, then leave a voicemail with your vote on what the crew should tackle next.📍Trails and DestinationsMoab Area Trails, UtahCoyote Canyon, UtahMetal Masher, UtahBehind the Rocks, UtahHell’s Revenge, UtahFins and Things, UtahPritchett Canyon, UtahYansing Gulch (Chinaman Gulch), ColoradoCarnage Canyon, ColoradoSand Hollow State Park, Utah🛠️ Gear and ToolsTYRI 1313 LED LightsTYRI D8 LightsTYRI 1010 LED LightsAdams DriveshaftJE Reel DrivelineRock Slide Engineering12V Hot Dog Cooker🚙 Community ShoutoutsBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxCalvin: SRG OffroadJD: MeAndMyYellowJKJoe: Mechanic_JKLuna & Marlon: OffRoad N Chill🌎 Advocacy & ConservationUtah Public Lands AllianceBlueRibbon Coalition📰 News Topics2026 Jeep Concept Vehicles at Easter Jeep SafariJeep Brand Rolls Into the 60th Easter Jeep SafariJeep at Easter Jeep Safari📅 Events and ResourcesEaster Jeep Safari 2026Trail Hero 2026Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion 2026Jeep Beach 2026SEMA Show 2026📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
