Built To Go! A #Vanlife Podcast6 Jul 2022

130 Rag and Bone Bufffet, Portable Pump, Drug Study, Hitch Helpers, Chazy Reef, Ice Makers

This week, it's a smorgasbord of unrelated news, tips, and details, none of which make up a full episode themselves. We'll also talk about the realities of ice makers, try out a battery powered pump, play pool with a dangerous felon, and visit some old relatives - 460,000,000 years old, in fact.
