I've been seeing some more and more talk about payload when outfitting and setting up Overlanding builds. Honestly, this isn't a topic I've thought about a ton in the past as I always assumed that even with an RTT and drawer system, I wouldn't be anywhere near the max payload. However, there's a lot to think about and a lot of factors that go into payload and how your vehicle c...

On this week's episode of the podcast, I keep seeing a ton of people arguing about what Overlanding is or isn't and who's doing it on all the Overlanding related group on Facebook.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm jumping into a somewhat controversial topic, which is EV's and Overlanding. If you've spent any time on Overlanding forums or Facebook groups, you've probably seen all the arguing and hate for and against electrical vehicles in Overlanding. You may have seen the Rivian R1S that completed the Rubicon trail and all of the "Well, did...

In this week's episode, I recently returned from a 2 week long trip where we covered thousands of miles and it really made me think about the reason we do this thing called Overlanding.

Experience based, where we focus more on having fun and finding new things and less about hitting certain points or achieving trail "completion"...

This week, I wanted to talk through how I deal with (and even enjoy) super long distance Overlanding trips. As much as we'd all like to just take scenic drives off pavement, sometimes, in order to get into the vicinity that we want to explore, we have to hit the highway, often for an extended period of time. After driving 21ish hours each way to go to Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, I recorded...
