Extreme summer travel: The Mongol Rally
One of the secrets around our business is that when summer comes along, so too come stories related to summer travel. And we are no more immune to this trend than anyone else. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll offer up the same old, same old “I took the family to the Grand Canyon and here’s the gear I brought with me” story. No, this episode’s guest, Ben Long, is taking a very unique trip that requires a just-as-unique collection of gear.

Show Notes
To learn more about the adventure Ben is about to undertake, you’ll want to visit the portion of the The Adventurists' site devoted to the Mongol Rally. He also mentioned a few things he’ll be taking along with him (or recommends for those travelling this way). There’s the Fiat Panda (complete with marketing tagline “Simply More”), the BioLite CampStove, LuminAid pillow/light, gear from Solar Gadgets USA, and Big Agnes tents. He also mentioned the two charities supported by the Rally: Cool Earth and MercyCorps.
When not rallying across Europe and Asia, Ben can be found at Complete Digital Photography and in his many excellent Lynda.com photography training titles.
