    What happens when two podcast co-hosts meet in person for the very first time? Chaos, camaraderie, and questionable fire-starting skills, of course. In this special (and slightly smoky) episode, Paul and Alex finally ditch the video calls and link up face-to-face—at a remote campsite, no less. Joined by Dustin from Hands On Adventures, the trio sets up a camping meetup and rigs a live podcast recording right in the great outdoors. Expect plenty of laughs, a few gear fails, and some behind-the-scenes magic as they prep for their most hands-on episode yet. Tents are pitched. Mics are hot. S'mores are... mildly burnt. Tune in for campfire vibes, real talk, and a whole lot of forest-fueled fun.
