Join us for an unforgettable evening with true modern-day explorer Dr. Bryon Bass — archaeologist, global traveler, safety specialist, search-and-rescue team member, law enforcement dive unit member, and contributing editor to Overland Journal.

His expertise now spans archaeology, remote workforce safety training, technical diving, and field operations in some of the world’s most isolated regions.

But this evening centers on a place particularly close to his heart:
