The All Things Overlanding Podcast

In this week's episode, I wanted to talk a bit about buying a used vehicle or possibly a vehicle that doesn't come from the factory all that outfitted for offroading and overlanding versus buying a more purpose built truck with factory warranty that's pretty much ready to go off the dealer's lot. I can feel you already running to the comments so let me say that I understand that even these more to...

In this episode, I'm going to pull back the curtain a bit and show you all the gear I use for capturing my overlanding trips and more on film and in pictures. Nothing fancy here as I'm a basic, budget minded overlander and I view my camera gear the same way. However, there are a lot of helpful tips and pieces of gear to take your content from basic to the next level. Whether you want to start a Yo...

In this week's episode, I'm going to chat through a pretty cool article I found on a website called Offroadium (link to article here: https://offroadium.com/the-popularity-of-overlanding-in-the-usa.html ). In the article, they break down numbers from a few sources as far as what Google Trends says about how the term is being searched and what kind of interest people seem to have in it over...

When doing vehicle modifications or creating your own solutions to overlanding set up challenges, sometimes things go wrong. In this episode, I'm going to share...

In this week's episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about a topic I see a lot. People think they have to "build" their vehicle out completely before they can go on an overlanding trip. Conversely, sometimes people get caught up in the build and then have a really built rig but feel like they can't ever go camping because they're constantly modifying their built rig. In th...

In this episode of the podcast, I wanted to touch a bit on preparedness related to inclement weather. I just got back from a family vacation where (unfortunately) I didn't have my truck, but my wife's car. We had an unexpected storm come through which knocked down a bunch of large trees and limbs and knocked out the power for about a day. This made me think about what I would have done if...

For those of you jumping to the description or to the comments to come at me about how you don't need to buy anything to get out exploring, you're right and I say that in the first 20 seconds of the video, :D. However, after you've been on 3-5 trips, you'll likely get a pretty good handle on how your setup performs and then you'll be ready to think about where to invest your bu...

In this episode, I wanted to talk a bit about all of the arguments and gatekeeping that I keep seeing in all of the overlanding groups and pages. I'll talk a bit about what I think overlanding really is (just my opinion, settle down), why I think it's dumb argument to try to tell people whether they're "real" overlanders or not, and finally my thoughts on why overlanding shou...

In this episode, with the recent July 4th holiday, I wanted to talk a bit about the pros and cons of going camping or overlanding during or around national holidays. If you haven't experienced it and have questions about what the crowds are like, how hard it is to find a spot (both dispersed or reserved), and what the folks that go out over a holiday weekend are usually like, behavior-wise, th...

In this episode, I'm going to talk through seasonality in overlanding and camping. Now, before you run to the comments to tell me that it depends on where you live, just know that I address that in the episode, :D. I'll walk you through the pros and cons of all 4 seasons and also my opinion and what I've come to prefer after doing this for years. Obviously, everyone has different prefe...
