In this week's episode of the podcast I'm talking about some of the easiest to make mistakes that new Overlanders often make. How do I know this? I made all these mistakes myself.

In this week's episode, I'm going to be talking through the 5 vehicle modifications I have grown to love over the last 5 years of Overlanding.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm talking about the 5 pieces of gear that I no longer use much if at all on Overlanding trips. What stuff didn't make the cut? I'm going to focus on the things I thought I would use more, but don't. Things like my awning, leveling blocks, my Ignik Propane Firepit, a shovel, and water filtration systems.

In this week's episode, I wanted to talk a bit about how I'm falling down the rabbit hole of "prepping" and also why it works really well with overlanding. If you aren't aware of what prepping is or think it's just about the nuclear apocalypse, there's a lot of positivity that comes from being prepared in the event of getting stuck offroad or while remote and a lot of the gear from overlanding carries over to prepping as well. So, check out the full episode to hear why overlanding and...

We've all seen the YouTube videos of people talking about the 5 things they hate about their Jeep or the 3 things they hate about a piece of gear. So, that gave me the idea to do 3 things I hate and 3 things I love about Overlanding. If you missed last week's episode, feel free to jump back to that to see the 3 things I hate about overlanding. This will be part 2 of 2 in the series, where I'll lay out a few of the things that really make me love overlanding and have kept me interested in the...

We've all seen the YouTube videos of people talking about the 5 things they hate about their Jeep or the 3 things they hate about a piece of gear. Well, that gave me an idea to talk through 3 things that I hate about the hobby of overlanding.

So, check out the...

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk a bit about how people, regardless of their budget for buying rigs or gear, are out of control and actively discouraging people from wanting to join the hobby of overlanding. This isn't an indictment or a scolding, but rather a discussion of how it's happening, some of the ways that we're allowing it to happen, and ultimately, how I think we can come together to fix it. Check out the full episode and hop over to Facebook or Instagram...

In this week's episode, I'm going to talk a bit about the real costs of Overlanding.

I'll walk you through the importance of deciding what type of trips you're going to take, which vehicle you want to build out, and then how much comfort and convenience you want in your build. I'll give...

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm going to run you through the basics of solar power and it's uses for overlanding. I see people asking lots of questions in overlanding and camping groups and forums, so while I'm no electrician, I've been using solar for the last 4 or 5 years and I've learned a lot. I was in the same place as a lot of us 5 years ago where solar seemed really intimidating and scary, but once I got into it, it's really pretty straightforward and there are so many...

In today's episode of the podcast, I wanted to make something that's hopefully interesting for everyone, but especially my Nissan folks. Nissan applied for some patents in early January of 2024 for a passthrough from a truck cab into the truck bed as well as essentially a bed rack with removable top, sides, and rear panels. I originally saw the article on this website if you want to check out the whole thing:...

In this week's episode of the podcast, I saw an article (link: https://www.ordealist.com/overlanding-statistics/) that talks about the Overlanding trend being on the decline.

In this episode, I'm going to talk through that, my interpretation of the data, some trends I've seen, and my final thoughts on what I think is happening with Overlanding. Is it becoming less popular or is...

In this episode of the podcast, I wanted to tackle the topic of YouTubers and gear reviews head on. As a channel that does quite a few gear videos, it's something I see a lot in comments on my videos, in Facebook groups, and pretty much everywhere. Can you trust YouTubers when they talk about gear? Watch the full video for all the info, but let me just say that if you pay attention, you'll notice that I very seldom call anything a "gear review." To me, a gear review is something that is...

In this episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about something that has been bothering me for a while. Sure, I'll probably get some hate in the comments for this, but those are exactly the people I don't care about. Most people act like they know everything and that there's only one way to build an overlanding rig, or use a dual battery system, or when solar is the right option, but the real answer is that there are a million variables and everyone's set up will be different. So, will...
