Winch Failed On Day One | THX Series | Ep 130

This episode kicks off a new series focused on Trail Hero Expeditions, with JD sitting down for one-on-one conversations with members of the cast—starting with Keenan Campbell. Keenan shares what the Expedition felt like from the driver’s seat: building a purpose-driven overland-style Jeep, the real-world headaches that don’t care about camera time (including a winch failure), and how the pace and expectations change when you’re part of a filmed trail experience. From there, they swap stories from Southern Utah stops like Grafton Ghost Town and big-view moments around the Grand Canyon, before bringing it home to what really sticks—the friends you make, the laughs you don’t plan for, and the stories you collect along the way that end up meaning more than the miles.📍 Trails and Destinations⁠Trail Hero Expeditions⁠⁠Sand Hollow State Park (UT) – Trails Offroad Region⁠⁠Grand Canyon National Park (NPS)⁠⁠Whitmore Canyon Overlook (Grand Canyon–Parashant, NPS)⁠⁠Grafton Ghost Town (UT)⁠⁠Moab (UT)⁠🛠️ Gear and Tools⁠Starlink⁠⁠Winch⁠⁠Overland Vehicle Systems (OVS)⁠⁠RotopaX mounts⁠⁠FOX shocks⁠⁠SuperSprings International (Coil Supports / Coil SumoSprings)⁠🚙 Community and Advocacy Groups⁠BlueRibbon Coalition⁠⁠Tread Lightly!⁠⁠Stay The Trail (Colorado)⁠🚙 Community Shoutouts⁠Keenan Campbell (@alphafoxtrotjku)⁠⁠Overlanding With Intention⁠📰 Legal and Policy Topics⁠Keeping trails open (BlueRibbon Coalition – Current Issues)⁠⁠Responsible recreation education (Tread Lightly!)⁠📞 Get InvolvedVoicemail: ⁠719-408-0132⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Website⁠⁠Shop⁠⁠TyriLights⁠
