  • In this week's episode of the Don’t Die Rusty Podcast we have a conversation with Garrett Vandersys from Spearfish, S.D. A man out chasing his dreams and adventures.

    These are the DM’s that we at Don’t Die Rusty love, we received a DM from Garrett's wife and she told Don’t Die Rusty her husband would have a Don’t Die Rusty story to tell and yes he certainly did. We talked to off road racer Kyle Craft a few weeks ago and we discussed the trophy truck side of things but Garrett is a guy that had a dream of doing the Baja 1000 on two wheels, his motorcycle in the Ironman Division.

    Rick, Ricky and Garrett discuss how he dreamed of this adventure and how he attained his goals of not only racing in the Baja 1000 on a motorcycle in the Ironman Division but also finishing in the allotted time. They also discuss that anyone can chase their dreams if they have great people who support them and are wanting to help fulfill that dream.

    Life is very short and we are all limited by the amount of time we can realistically chase our dreams. This is an example of a man with the support of not only his wife but his family and friends.So enjoy this week's episode of the Don’t Die Rusty Podcast and hopefully you will be inspired to chase your dreams.

  • In this week’s episode of the Don’t Die Rusty Podcast Rick, Ricky and friend Troy Niehaus talk about their experiences on their Seven Peaks adventure.

    They talk about the mindset they had when they started this adventure and how their body and mindsets began to change as the miles and elevation started adding up. How slowly the energy and enthusiasm was slowly starting to dissipate, on each leg of the journey.

    How team and positivity helped them with every step they took. They were grateful to have each other to push them to be their best selves with every step. This was not a race but a test of mind, body and soul. They found that they can go through a struggle and achieve goals. It’s the journey that they learned about themselves, not the finish as in life.

    They also hope to help raise awareness for the @officiasobercowboy

    So listen as they talk about the struggles and victories of Seven Peaks!!
