Rachelle Croft joined Scott Brady on the Overland Journal podcast to discuss how women's off-road rallies and international travel have helped shape her leadership and mindset. A veteran of the Rebelle Rally (including a 2019 win, 2020 second-place finish, and returning in 2025 as part of Toyota's official 4Runner Trailhunter team), she detailed how the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles in Morocco was a personal turning point, teaching mental resilience and problem-solving under pressure. Croft emphasizes the importance of clear communication, managing stress in team environments, and prioritizing joy in travel. As CEO of the Overland Collective, she focuses on community, education, kindness, and stewardship. Upcoming projects for 2026 include the X Overland "Milestones" premiere and promoting her "Start Somewhere" initiative to encourage new travelers.

Dan and Marlene are the adventurous parents of a full-time traveling family of five, living, working, and exploring the world in their home-on-wheels. They've driven to 53 countries across 5 continents and were named Overlanders of the Year by Expedition Portal in 2023.They share their travels on Instagram and YouTube under the handle Mali Mish—Croatian for “Little Mouse,” a name bestowed on Marlene by her grandmother. Widely known as the “Mali Mish Family,” they've been living on the road since 2008. When they started this adventure, there were no shortcuts: no YouTube tutorials, no e-books, just a handful of other family blogs. They jumped into the fray and started sharing their story.Their journey has taken them through a series of rigs: a teardrop trailer, an Airstream, a Ford F250 with a Grandby Four Wheel Pop-up Camper, a 4x4 Sprinter Van, and their current home—the ultimate Overlanding rig, a Ford F-350 4WD with a Bowen Customs Flatbed paired with a Four Wheel Pop Up Grandby Flatbed Camper.Follow their travels:Website: www.malimish.comYouTube:    / @malimish  Instagram:   / mali.mish  Expedition Portal: https://expeditionportal.com/2023-ove...Mentioned in this episode:Slow Baja Winter Expeditionhttps://www.slowbaja.com/adventures/2...Benchmark Maps Baja Road and Recreation Atlashttps://www.slowbaja.com/shop/p/7avpv...Support the Slow Baja Podcasthttps://www.slowbaja.com/supportBuy Baja Bound Insurancehttps://www.bajabound.com/quote/?r=fl...

If you're getting into overlanding—or you've been doing it for a while and don't want to waste money—this video is for you.In this episode, I'm breaking down the overlanding mods that give you the most bang for your buck. These are upgrades I've actually used, tested, and used out on real trips—not just stuff that looks cool on Instagram. Some mods are absolutely worth the money, while others can wait (or be skipped entirely).I talk through what I'd prioritize if I were starting over today, where you'll get the biggest improvement in comfort, capability, and reliability, and how to build a setup that lets you travel more instead of constantly chasing the next expensive upgrade.Whether you're building a budget overland rig, slowly upgrading over time, or just trying to figure out what really matters, this conversation should help you make smarter decisions with your money.

Send us a textA last-minute curveball from VIA Rail threatened to kill a long-planned Spanish River trip. We refused to pack it in. Instead, we pivoted north to the lower Temagami River, launching from Red Cedar Lake and finding warm days, calm nights, and a crew that just clicked. That shift became a reminder that great canoe trips hinge on nimble planning, weather grace, and teammates who keep it light when logistics go sideways.We dig into what made Temagami shine, then map out Spanish River Take Two this June with a moving water certification led by an ORCKA instructor. Bill shares how becoming an ORCKA instructor transformed his own paddling—turns that used to feel “fine” suddenly needed cleaner torso rotation, tighter stern work, and better trim. Efficiency becomes the real safety net when rapids stack up. We talk guiding on the French River, especially the South Channel and five-mile rapids—quieter stretches where boat traffic fades and the landscape opens up. The theme is consistent: seek solitude, read water, and save energy for the moves that matter.The trail talk widens to hiking windows along the Bruce Trail and Niagara Escarpment, a late-light glacier hike in Iceland, and the growing appeal of crown land access near Georgian Bay and Philip Edward Island. Overlanding gets a nod for freedom and a caution for cost. We share fishing highs and humbling blanks, including the fly rod cameo after a spinning setup sank in the French. Fly casting shines as craft and meditation, even when the net stays dry. Bill explains the cheeky origin of Thunderbox Diaries and why storytelling through images still feels like a living logbook.Gearheads will appreciate the shoutouts: compact lights and pumps from Flextail, backcountry meals from Wanderlost Kitchen and SLY Foods that taste like real food, and a fresh collaboration with Ostrom Outdoors. Watch for a prototype debut at the Hamilton Adventure Expo at the Organic Boat Shop booth.

Join Overland Journal Podcast host Ashley Giordano as she sits down with travel journalist and guide Breanna Wilson to discuss what you need to know about overlanding in Mongolia. Wilson also dives into her journey from Georgia to Mongolia in her trusty 78-Series Troopy, and reflects on her most special memories in the country.

In this episode, Joel Crawford and Cody Frost, two experienced overlanders, share a chilling overnight encounter deep in Washington State's Gifford Pinchot National Forest, near Ape Canyon, Muddy River, and the infamous Dark Divide. What began as a routine camping trip quickly turned unsettling when unexplained radio-like static, heavy footsteps, and coordinated movement around their camp broke the silence of the forest.As the night progressed, something physically shook a detached overland trailer, despite no visible animals or people nearby. Later, strange call-and-response vocalizations echoed through the ravine, moving rapidly through dense old-growth forest. Multiple members of the group—including children—heard the activity, confirming this was not an isolated experience.This episode explores possible Sasquatch activity, unexplained phenomena reported by overlanders, and why the Gifford Pinchot National Forest continues to be one of the most mysterious and active areas for unexplained encounters in North America.ResourcesJeremiah's hat worn in this episode provided by Squatch'n game and available at https://playitforwardstudios.com/Joel and Cody on Salish Sasquatch Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y07p13RgOU&t=1634s

In this compelling eyewitness interview, Offroad X Files podcast host and overlanding researcher Jimmy Toungateshares the encounters that changed him from an interested skeptic into a firsthand Sasquatch witness. Jimmy recounts a terrifying nighttime campsite encounter near Mount Baker and a shocking broad-daylight Bigfoot sighting standing beside I-90 near the Snoqualmie River outside North Bend, Washington—a location linked to multiple independent sightings. Drawing on his work with the Offroad X Files podcast, Jimmy explains how overlanding, remote travel, and modern mapping tools are reshaping Bigfoot research and why Sasquatch activity may be occurring alarmingly close to highways and populated areas.

In this episode of the Overland Journal Podcast, host Scott Brady interviews Susan Dragoo, a historian and regular contributor to Overland Journal. The conversation spans Susan's passion for history and her adventures in overlanding and hiking. They discuss her recent work on the Butterfield Trail, a historic stagecoach route, delving into the challenges and discoveries along the way. Susan also shares stories from her hiking experiences, including a memorable trek to Everest Base Camp, and her insights on becoming a successful photojournalist. The episode emphasizes the importance of intertwining historical research with outdoor exploration and the rewards of uncovering and documenting forgotten historical trails.

After every overlanding trip, I follow a simple but super effective routine to make sure my rig and gear are ready for the next adventure. In this video, I'm walking you through my exact post-trip maintenance process—what I check, what I clean, what I repair, and how I keep everything organized so I'm never scrambling the night before a trip.I'll cover the key things I inspect on my vehicle (tires, suspension, fluids, etc.), plus the often-overlooked gear checks that can save you a ton of hassle—like recharging batteries, drying tents and sleeping systems, cleaning kitchen setups, and making sure your fridge and storage bins are good to go.This routine has helped me prevent breakdowns, catch small issues before they become expensive problems, and streamline my packing so every trip starts off smoother. Whether you're a weekend camper or a regular overlander, these simple habits can make a huge difference in your long-term reliability.If you've got your own post-trip checklist or maintenance tips, drop them in the comments—I'm always looking to learn from the community!Here is some of the gear I showed or mentioned in the video if it helps:Firestarters I use: https://amzn.to/3XbzQxnEtenwolf Automatic Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/47U2FELBunker Industries Recovery Kit: https://amzn.to/3LKrMBlBunker Industries Traction Boards: https://amzn.to/3X9EWdrTongo Bug Spray: https://amzn.to/3JNDVVzVTOMan Power Bank and Expansion Battery: https://amzn.to/4rbXOWXA huge thanks to my partners:Top Oak (amazing roof top tents and awnings for budget prices):  https://topoakoverland.com/?sscid=51k9_mt1ba&Nitto (my Terra Grappler G3 tires are great for midwestern winters, wet weather, and all terrain use):  https://bit.ly/41EJhbQZ1 Off Road (pretty much the spot for all things Nissan):  https://www.z1offroad.comAll Dogs Offroad (amazing Nissan specific suspension options which I run on my truck):  https://www.alldogsoffroad.comICECO Fridges (the best fridges for the money, hands down-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING for 12% off your order):  https://icecofreezer.com/ALLTHINGSOVERLANDINGMoon Fab Awning (super flexible, non-permanently mounted awnings for all kinds of applications.

I break down exactly what happens at these events, why they're so popular, and how you can get the most out of the experience. From classes and vendors to rigs and community, I'll share my tips for navigating the expo without getting overwhelmed.But here's the key: while expos are packed with gear, ideas, and inspiration, they're not the same thing as actual overlanding. In this episode, I talk about the big differences between walking the rows of rooftop tents and actually putting your rig down a dirt road.Whether you're new to overlanding or a seasoned explorer curious about the expo scene, this podcast/video will help you know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to enjoy every minute.A huge thanks to my partners:Top Oak (amazing roof top tents and awnings for budget prices):  https://topoakoverland.com/?sscid=51k9_mt1ba&Nitto (my Terra Grappler G3 tires are great for midwestern winters, wet weather, and all terrain use):  https://bit.ly/41EJhbQZ1 Off Road (pretty much the spot for all things Nissan):  https://www.z1offroad.comAll Dogs Offroad (amazing Nissan specific suspension options which I run on my truck):  https://www.alldogsoffroad.comICECO Fridges (the best fridges for the money, hands down-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING for 12% off your order):  https://icecofreezer.com/ALLTHINGSOVERLANDINGMoon Fab Awning (super flexible, non-permanently mounted awnings for all kinds of applications.
