Description

Join the DPV podcast crew—Allison, Emily, Jared, and Josh—as they recap their epic, three-day off-roading adventure on the legendary Rubicon Trail! They're sharing all the nitty-gritty details of their trip, from what they expected versus the reality, to the essential gear and vehicle mods that got them through it.

They'll talk about the trail's relentless boulders, unexpected rainstorms, and the surprising challenges they faced, including a broken down vehicle and a pesky transmission leak. Find out how they improvised with a coffee pot to cook dinner, and how the kids handled being "feral" in the wilderness. It's a candid look at the highs and lows of tackling one of the most famous off-road trails in the world.
