YouTube Concept: "Outdoor Brews with KhakiBush"
We're excited to announce an upcoming YouTube series titled "Outdoor Brews"! This series will bring together remarkable individuals who live and breathe the outdoors, including YouTubers, overlanders, social influencers, conservationists, lodge and campsite owners, adventurers, and creators of inspiring outdoor experiences. In each episode, we'll sit down with our guests in a relaxed, natural setting, where we’ll share stories, morning coffee or crack open a few cold ones in the afternoon, and dive deep into what makes their journey unique.
​
"Outdoor Brews" is all about authentic conversations with people passionate about the outdoors. We'll cover their experiences, challenges, and motivations, allowing you to get to know the person behind the adventure, brand, or destination. We'll also explore the products and gear that have become essentials for both us and our guests, sharing insights and recommendations while surrounded by the beauty of some of the most stunning outdoor locations. And, of course, we’ll be doing some braaing, too!
​
Get ready for a down-to-earth series that’s equal parts inspiring and entertaining. Whether you're an adventure enthusiast, an aspiring outdoor creator, or just someone who loves a good story, "Outdoor Brews" will have something for you.
