The Grey NATO –276 – Jason's Very English Adventure [Bremont, Flying Vintage Planes, Alex Bescoby, and THE Land Rover]
Jason is back from a fun and eventful trip to England, and he has a full report from the experience. This includes visiting Bremont and The Wing, flying in vintage planes, attending British Watchmakers’ Day, and a sunny pub chat with none other than Alex Bescoby of The Last Overland (not to mention a spin in “Oxford” – arguably the most influential Land Rover ever made. It’s a great report made even better thanks in no small part to Alex’s willingness to jump on a mic and chat about his recent (and future) adventures.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you digging deep into the benefits and methodology of rucking (from the founder of GoRuck, no less) while also considering just how badly you need some additional camo in your life.
