The All Things Overlanding Podcast

This week, I synced up with a buddy who just received his 2022 Ford Maverick and I was able to check out the pros and cons of each. They are definitely very different vehicles but they both have pros and cons.  Depending on what type of Overlanding you want to do, either could be a valid option. Guess this explains why I've ordered a Maverick and I'm keeping the Frontier!  A huge thanks...

Historically, I've been super cheap and always tried to buy the cheapest gear. However, after a few years of doing this, I've started to pick up on some items you need to spend more on up front to save money in the long run versus the items you can skimp on that won't really matter.  Watch the video to hear the top three of each! Post up in the comments with any suggestions or ideas you've go...

This week, I'm looking back at some of the funny and awesome sights that I've been lucky enough to see on past trips. Whether you're new to Overlanding and want to know what it's all about, or if you've been doing it for a while and you've got stories of your own, you'll probably get a kick out of this episode. A huge thanks to my featured partners: The Last US Bag Company (great quality Overlandi...

NOTE:  I recorded this at the same time as another of my recent videos and apparently it was the windiest day of the year. I tried my best to cut out as much of the wind noise as possible, but there's still quite a bit, so apologies for that! This week, I'm talking about what considerations to make when you're planning to purchase a used Overlanding vehicle. What do you need to think about? W...

On this episode, I'm going to walk you through how I optioned out my 2022 Ford Maverick and my thought process behind each choice. I'm not saying this is the way you have to build your Maverick if you're thinking of getting one for Overlanding, but rather the way I set mine up. Hopefully the info is helpful if you're considering this awesome little truck as a softroader or light duty truck for gra...

You probably noticed something in the title that is a big surprise, :D. Watch the episode for all the details of the Nissan Frontier build that will continue for the rest of this year, the all new 2022 Ford Maverick FX4 that is being added to the stable and built, and all other things Overlanding that you'll get this year on the channel! A huge thanks to my featured partners: REDARC (all kinds of...

I've talked in other, more specific videos about some tips to get started in Overlanding, but in this video/podcast I'm going to specifically address what it takes to get into Overlanding if you're a total newbie.  These general tips will help you figure out what Overlanding is, what kind of budget to set for yourself, and how to get started. There are various tags that can take you to other...

First of all, apologies for the sporadic wind noise. I recorded this on a camping trip and the wind was apparently crazy. It's not too bad except in a couple of places, but it's annoying so sorry about that. Today, I put together a really short episode as we approach the holidays talking about the value of learning to use the gear you have, versus just constantly buying new gear. It can be easy to...

This week, I wanted to clearly lay out my strategy that I've used for the last few years to stay warm when camping in the winter (the main time I go every year). This strategy doesn't necessitate any expensive portable power generators, dual battery set ups, or diesel/propane heaters.  So, watch the video for more info! If you've got some tips I missed, post up in the comments below!  He...

This week, I've got a new vehicle that I'm starting to build for Overlanding so I wanted to talk through everything I've learned since my last Overlanding build. There are tons of tips, strategies and suggestions for how to approach your build (new or ongoing) to save you time and money in the future. A huge thanks to my featured partners: REDARC (all kinds of trick power management solutions): ht...

This week, as we've just gone through Thanksgiving, it made me want to think back to what all I've gained through Overlanding and what I'm thankful for. I hope that this episode will give you some ideas of what you have to look forward to if you're new or thinking of getting into Overlanding. Or, if you've been doing it for a while, I'd love to hear whether you agree with my thoughts or what you'r...

This week, I'm starting to get ready for my big camping season. Winter may seem like the time of year to stay home and enjoy the comforts of modern technology, but in my opinion, there's no better time to get out, relax, and enjoy nature without all the bugs and other campers. In this video, I'll walk you through some easy to implement steps for getting out in the winter and not only surviving, bu...

I mostly go Overlanding solo, but part of that is that it's really hard to get everything packed up, get them excited, and avoid any pitfalls that may make it a less than amazing trip.  However, I really enjoy when they come with me and over the last couple of years, I've learned some trick and tips that will help you get your family out and enjoying nature without all the hassles I had to en...

I've said many times that it doesn't matter what you drive. If you want to get out and explore, just take what you've got and go. In this episode, since the Frontier is still broken down, I took the wife's stock 2017 Honda Pilot EX-L down to Hoosier National Forest for a quick trip with my son. I wanted to show that you could get to a lot of great places regardless of what kind of vehicle you driv...

This week, I wanted to talk about something that I get a lot of questions about. I also see people post up in Facebook groups and forums asking questions about where to go and how to know if you're in a spot you're allowed to be in.  So, I'm going to talk through my experience with camping/overlanding in Hoosier National Forest, how to verify whether you're allowed to be in a spot, and what t...

On this week's episode, a huge thanks to subscriber mjenner89 for the suggestion to talk about what is being transferred from my previous vehicle (2005 Nissan Xterra SE) to the new one (2008 Nissan Frontier). I'll talk a bit about what parts are interchangeable between the Xterra and Frontier (which is a lot) but mostly about my modifications and what I built up on the old truck and how it will tr...

This week I'm starting to think about modifications and parts for the new Frontier, which made me think of what I've learned over the years regarding when to spend money on higher quality, OEM parts and when it makes sense to save some cash by buying cheaper, aftermarket parts.  Once you check out the video, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! A huge thanks to my featured partners...

On this week's episode, I'm personally in the process of moving and, wow, was I surprised how much gear I've accumulated. It made me think of how it happened, how to prevent it in the future, and how to declutter if you're in that situation. Hopefully this video will be helpful for you whether you're new to Overlanding or a veteran. Post up in the comments with your tips or thoughts! Thanks for ha...

On this week's episode, I'm letting the cat out of the bag that I picked up a new rig! I'll walk you through what happened that made me change as well as the tragedy that befell the new truck as I was driving it home.  So, to hear more about what I picked up check it out! Also, I'd love to hear from you guys in the comments with your thoughts and what you think I should do first to the truck!...

So many videos out there (including some I've made) are simply a video version of a definition of what Overlanding is. When I search YouTube for the term "Overlanding," all I see are things like "Overlanding 101" and "What is Overlanding?"  So, on this week's episode, I wanted to talk more about why I think Overlanding may be right for you. If you've listened to me before, I've done an episod...

I'm really excited about this episode because I feel like it will be extremely beneficial for a lot of people.

Check out the episode for more info on how to figure out whether a piece of gear is right for you! Here's a link to the copyable doc to calculate your gear...

On this week's episode, I'm taking a slightly different approach than I have in the past. I'm trying to shorten the episodes while packing them with more info. Less rambling and more helpful content is the goal. Post up in the comments and let me know what you think! I've got 5 tips to help you pack smarter and better for your next Overlanding trip. Again, post up in the comments if you think I mi...

On this week's episode, I'm talking through a topic that came up on the Patreon page last week (here's a link if you want to come hang out over there! https://www.patreon.com/allthingsoverlanding ). People said they wanted to hear more about weekend warrior style Overlanding and how to get into it as cheaply as possible. So, I'm going to talk through the absolute basics and what I've learned over...
