Off-Road Adventures: Inside the All-Female Rebelle Rally and Understanding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
About this episode
Jill Seminello and Kristen Shaw share their experiences participating in the all-female Rebelle Rally, a challenging navigational event covering 1200-1500 miles through off-road terrain. They discuss the unique aspects of the rally, including the use of paper maps and compasses, the camaraderie among competitors, and the challenges of off-roading in modified vehicles. The episode also features a segment on diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), explaining its role in reducing emissions and the importance of proper handling and storage.
This episode is all about off-roading and adventures! Meet Jill Ciminillo and Kristin Shaw, two brave hearts who weathered the all-female Rebel Rally in 2022 and are preparing for the 2023 event. They throw light on the thrill of navigating through this unique challenge. No GPS or cellphones, only paper maps and latitude-longitude points. We also touch on the event's format, the types of vehicles used, and how participants are self-funded. The adrenaline doesn't stop there. Get a backstage pass into the strategy behind off-roading, camping, handling food, and bathroom breaks during the Rally and maybe the aspiration to tackle the Dakar Rally.
But the episode isn't just about the thrill, it is also about the grit. Our guests provide a deep dive into the nitty-gritty of the Rally - from the points system and the time-speed-distance segment to the fascinating rule of determining the departure times based on the previous day's performance.
