This is the last one for the year!

I decided to put together a 2025 recap to end the year for The Outer Side - talking about some of the epic 4WD trips I've been on with the crew from 4WD 24/7, launching GME into the US Market at Overland Expo, filming 4x4 content in NZ, and the ongoing fight for fair public land access for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

The show will be back to regular programming in early February - thanks for all your support this year!
