Overland In New England: Flat Tires, Gun Fights, and Great Sights

Our New England overlanding trip had everything: incredible fall foliage, challenging 4x4 trails, mechanical failures, and an interesting night of gunfire at an abandoned Cold War radar base. In this episode of the CAMO Convoy Overland Podcast, Nick and Aaron recap CAMO's Patriot Expedition through Vermont and New Hampshire. What started as an unforgettable trip through some of the Northeast's most beautiful terrain quickly turned into one of the wildest adventures we've ever experienced. We cover the incredible drive up Mount Washington, technical wheeling on Cram Hill, a Ford Bronco destroying TWO tires on the same obstacle, trail repairs, and the night strangers drove into our campsite and opened fire just feet from where we were sleeping. Beyond the chaos, we talk about what makes New England such an underrated destination for overlanding, how full-size trucks performed on narrow technical trails, lessons learned about campsite security, and why this trip was one we'll never forget.
