In this episode of The Birdshot Podcast, host Nick Larson reconnects with Jimmy Lewis, a passionate bird hunter and overlanding expert, for a deep dive into the world of upland hunting and the overlanding rigs that make it all possible.

From rooftop tents and truck bed caps to bird dogs and family adventures, this episode covers it all.

Jimmy Lewis is an experienced bird hunting guide, outdoor enthusiast, and expert in overlanding rigs.
