Thumbs up

Finally- an American publication that I am absolutely confident, will not only hold it's own, but greatly enrich the spirit of overlanding stateside. Good on you Scott! I eagerly await my cap and decal.

Wow, that's awesome Scott. Congratulations to all involved and best of luck. With the popularity of overlanding rising in North America I think this will do great!

Looks good. I have a suggestion for your magazine - include some humor!! :-)

It's one of the reasons Readers Digest has the largest subscriber base in the USA. RD has done surveys on why people subscribe (or keep renewing) and one of the main responses is 'I like the jokes." So find your version of that...just a thought.
Good luck.
