In this **XXL** special, we talk about road trips Dan and Mick went on in their respective countries. We also welcome JR from Outex into the podcast to talk about his adventure in Alaska with Dan.

JR is one of the reasons we called the podcast what it is, so its an honor to have him with us as an honoree curmudgeon. 

Dan and JR cover lots of ground in “the last hire car in Alaska” as they travel The Last Frontier in search of wildlife, icebergs and avoid bad weather. Hear how JR tries to kill himself, Dan tries to kill the car and much more in the perfect demonstration on how NOT to do a road trip.

Mick talks about his road trip around Scotland and the north of England, looking for wildlife in his camper van finding all kinds of local wildlife along the way.
