The Grey NATO – 353 – A Chat With Ben Fogle [Adventurer, Broadcaster, Author, And Owner of Buffalo Systems]
This week, with both Jason and James traveling far from home, the TGN boys are excited to present Jason’s chat with Ben Fogle, British television presenter, writer, and adventurer best known for his explorations of the natural world and human endurance. Beyond his on-screen work, he’s also the co-owner of the outdoor clothing brand Buffalo Systems, and he and Jason chat about their shared love of Land Rovers, his quieter love of watches, his history of daring adventure, and his recent interest and ownership of the legacy UK outerwear brand Buffalo.
A huge thank you to Ben for coming on the show! Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you catching up on a podcast we recently discovered while considering your need for some fresh travel tech.
