The Trailchasers Podcast

Cody and Matt met up with some listeners in #bigbear for a day run. Good news...NOBODY DIED! We will tell you all about it on this weeks episode. #falkentire @milkteacoma @socal_fzj_80

We got the opportunity to speak with Casey Ngo from OC Overland. He walks us through the story of how the OC Overland Family was born and how the open, inclusive nature of the group has helped the community grow so quickly. Ultimately, his advice is to "be nice to everybody" and we absolutely agree with that.
