What is An Obscure Odyssey?

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my blog, and embarking on this journey with us. Who are we? Sadie my boxer/Australian shepherd mix doggo and I. This blog is going to be filled with all the adventures we do together. My name is Kyle and I am 29 years old. I am in the United States Air Force and currently stationed in Texas. My job by trade is Aerospace Maintenance, or what we are better known as, a crew chief. This is where I will come to talk about where we went, what we saw, and what we did, the tools and gear we used, along with posting lots of pictures and videos for your entertainment. So stick around and see what we get ourselves into!
I have been all over the world for jobs, and love to travel. My favorite thing in life is being adventurous. I'm sure when you see that word you think to yourself "oh, the outdoors." Well, yes, the outdoors, but that's not the whole meaning behind it. Seeking adventure is not only about going out into the wilderness, for me, it's moving into the unknown. Being adventurous in life could be as simple as learning a new skill. Say you want to learn welding for example. To learn this new skill you would need to venture into the unknown, learn something you don't know anything about. This is what the meaning of adventure is to me. Most of what I will be writing about is undoubtedly going to be our adventures in the outdoors. These adventures however, will always mean we venture into the unknown. You cannot always predict nature, even when traveling to a familiar place, it could be different the very next time you visit.
Sadie, who is 6 months old, still has a lot to learn. She is a wonderful travel companion and always keeps me engaged. There is never a dull moment with her around. We travel in a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Duramax. This piece of equipment is my secret weapon to most of the adventures we will be going on. The truck houses my roof top tent, ground tent, all my recovery gear for hairy situations, coolers, wood, survival supplies, food, water, and anything we may need in case of an emergency. We will be trying out new gear regularly, and letting you know our thoughts. This includes dog gear as well! we will also be attending off-road, and overlanding meets. Overlanding is vehicle based travel, and although there are different interpretations about whether the journey or the destination is what it's about. I feel it can go either way. But the common factor here is vehicle based travel, and that is the bulk of what this blog will be about.
I will have many friends that will be part of the blog as we like to do these things together. We all enjoy each other's company and they have a YouTube Channel they use to document their adventures. I am not a video camera kinda guy, which is why I started this blog. I am not the best writer either but I love to tell stories and write in a journal. So I decided why not start a blog so that others can see what my life consists of. I am also doing this to network and help others out, as well as learn as much as I can from you all. So please feel free to leave comments and I will respond as quickly as possible. The more we all communicate the more we all learn.
Other ways to keep in touch with me would be through Facebook or Instagram. which you can find on my blog's home page. I am also a brand ambassador for Crusader Overland, and CR3 Motorsports. Crusader Overland's goal is to shake up the outdoor industry by bringing you high quality outdoor equipment at affordable prices. CR3 Motorsports fuels my hobby of race car things. Both companies are a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to seeing each of them grow.
Thank you for sticking around, and I hope you will join me throughout the life of the blog. Enjoy a few photos of us and the life we live. Feel free to ask questions or comment on the blog.
