Jeep Badges?

The app is badge of honor badge of honor. And then, uh, then with that app, uh, you just, when you're on or near the trail, you can check in using that app if they're cell service. And I think there's a way to do it. Uh, uh, like, um, do it even though you're offline. And then when you get back online, it takes care of it, but you could, if you're, if you're offline, it has a GPS, the program will boot up and it'll say check in. And then once you get off the trail and you get back into cell phone coverage, it will, it will say, it will remind you to, to, uh, and then you request your badge. Yeah. So, and all you have to do is the inner near the, the badge, uh, I'm sorry, inner near the trail, uh, for the badge you want. And then, uh, and you can get it. I think you can actually check into three different trails there at the parking lot of hell's revenge. So when we were at hidden falls, um, I was at Leslie, was that her name? The other, for her first time we left. I think so. Yes. Yeah. So when we were kind of at an impasse or waiting for some people to come by, um, I was asking her, how was it going? And you like, and she said, Oh, I love it. And then I pointed at my honor badges on the side. I was like, have you checked in? She was like, well, I don't know about this. So I was explaining to her, she was super excited about it. So, um, I think it's important for new wheelers to know about it. I think it's just kind of like a rite of passage and whether you put them on your Jeep or you don't, or you have them on your wall at home, I think it just feels good when you get them in the mail and you're like, yeah, I did that. I did that. So she was pretty excited to do it. Yeah. And I would, I would add to those as well. I don't know if it's like, well, back when I was in the service or whatever, when we would be deployed, we go different areas, we'd always look for the patches and we had always kind of bring it back. So I had several patches from like a lot of the bases I was deployed to or operations I was a part of or whatever. It was, it's kind of, I'm not saying it's the same thing, but it's kind of that same collector. Like this is something I went out and accomplished or whatever. So I like them. And I can tell you, I've been to a couple of Jeep shows and had the Jeep out a couple of times. I've got fairly decent builds. I'm not saying it's Sabo's level or whatever, but you know, it's a decent build, but there's more people that come up and point to those badges that are out there. Like that's one of the biggest things everybody comes up and points to on that. Like, did you go to these? Did you go, this is Colorado, this is Arizona. It's like, I'm like, yep, yep. That's, that's why they're on there. So if nothing else, it's a great conversational piece. Exactly. And it goes along with the whole, you know, getting out there and using a Jeep and, you know, once you get brand new wheels on there, like say you went out and swapped them out and they don't have any rock rash or anything on them, you know, everybody's trying to do the whole mall crawler thing. You still got the badges on the side, right? You'd be like, I just haven't scuffed these up yet. Well, that's what, that's what I like about it is, you know, I'll go fill up with gas or I'll, I'll be out even at a mall, but, but if you're, I pulled up at a hotel and guys would walk up and start looking at the badges and they started a whole, it's a whole conversation, whether they're Jeepers and they're interested or whether they're non Jeepers and they're just curious about what it's about. I think it just, it, it reinforces our whole off-road community and brings up awareness. You know, you talked about having trails selected. I mean, that's the way people nominate the trails is really cool trails for their area. And granted, there are some that are really, really super easy, like in Virginia or Florida that you're like, wow, this is like a level two trail. Why is this on here? But it's because it may be one of the better trails they have in that area, but then you get into other areas and you may have seven or eights or nines that you're, that you're asked to run. But I think it's a great program. It's free. You know, I guess, I don't know whether anybody hates on it as much as they hate on things like ducks, but

I like to, I put them on the side of my Jeep just to, just to create conversations. Even when I'm hearing down at the beginning of an off-road and I don't know everybody in the group, they start coming up and looking at, like you were saying, John is, oh, you've been to Colorado. Oh, you've been to Moab. You know, it's cool. I'd agree. So, so as far as, you know, being areas, area specific and being the, you know, not necessarily best trails everywhere. So we've got, I think just over a third of them, we've got 23 or 25 badges. And so, you know, just an example, we did a 7,000 mile trek up through Montana and Colorado and stuff last year
