He Built the Bag He Couldn’t Buy | Waypoint Series | Ep 143

<p>JD sits down with Virgil from <a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">NorthBound Expeditions</a> and <a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/shop?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">NBX Trail Gear</a> for a laid-back conversation about Jeeps, handmade gear, and the kind of trips that stick with you long after you get home. Virgil shares how he went from growing up in Luxembourg to building a life in Nova Scotia, serving in the Canadian Army, creating overland content, and turning his own need for better storage into NBX Trail Gear. The conversation gets into his JK “Fury,” his new 2025 Gladiator build, G.A.R.B. bags, custom trail gear, Cordura fabric, YouTube storytelling, and why good overlanding gear usually comes from people who actually spend time on the trail. JD and Virgil also talk about Eastern Canada travel, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick woods restrictions, and how quickly access issues can hit a community when nobody is organized to push back. This one is a good hang for anyone who loves Jeep builds, overlanding, handmade trail gear, and the stories behind small companies in the off-road world.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>📍Trails and Destinations</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://novascotia.com/explore-nova-scotia/outdoor-activities-tours/atv-offroad-4wheeling/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Nova Scotia ATV, Off-road, and 4-Wheeling</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/tours?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">New Brunswick Overland Adventure</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bonjourquebec.com/en/where-to-go/routes-and-itineraries/grand-tour?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Gaspésie Peninsula, Quebec</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bonjourquebec.com/en-us/where-to-go/regions-of-quebec/nunavik?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Northern Quebec / Nunavik</a></li><li><a href="https://vermontvacation.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Vermont</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>🛠️ Gear and Tools</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/shop?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">NBX Trail Gear</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/g-a-r-b-2-0?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">G.A.R.B. 2.1</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/xxl-garb-2-1?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">XXL GARB 2.1</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/garb-2-0-mini?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Tailgate G.A.R.B.</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/5-lbs-propane-tank-carrier-2-0?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">5 lbs Propane Tank Carrier 2.0</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/11lbs-propane-tank-carrier?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">11 lbs Propane Tank Carrier</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/bouge-rv-diesel-heater-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Bouge RV Diesel Heater Bag</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/chainsaw-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Chainsaw Bag</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/griddle-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Griddle Bag</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/massive-annex-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Massive Annex Bag</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/overlander-travel-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Overlander Travel Bag</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbexpeditions.com/product-page/multi-purpose-kit-bag?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">Multi Purpose Kit Bag / Air Com
