The Nissan Xterra has been gone for years, but if the rumors and reports are true, its return could have a bigger impact on the overlanding world than most people realize. In this episode, I'm taking a deep dive into what a new Xterra could mean for overlanders, off-road enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an adventure-ready vehicle that doesn't cost a fortune.I'll talk about why the original Xterra became such a beloved platform, how the overlanding landscape has changed since it disappeared, and what Nissan would need to do to make the new version a serious contender against vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, Bronco, and Jeep Wrangler. We'll also discuss whether there's still room in today's market for a rugged, purpose-built SUV and why I think the return of the Xterra could be exactly what many outdoor enthusiasts have been waiting for.Whether you're a longtime Xterra fan, a Nissan Frontier owner, or just someone who loves talking about overlanding vehicles, this episode should spark some interesting discussion.What do you think? Would you consider a new Xterra for your next adventure rig?

The Maine outdoors has always had an economy.Long before rooftop tents, GPS maps, sporting camps, and remote campsites, Maine's woods and waters were working landscapes shaped by Natives, timber, log drives, river travel, tote roads, guides, and camps.In this episode, we look at how the Maine outdoor economy has changed over the past couple hundred years, from log drives and the working woods, to sporting camps and guided trips, to modern recreation, vehicle-based adventure, and the growing popularity of overlanding.This conversation is more about how each generation values the Maine outdoors differently. What was once measured in timber and transportation is now often measured in remoteness, access, tourism, and the desire to reach places that still feel wild.We'll also talk about the tension that comes with that change: private timberland, working roads, gates, campsites, outdoor tourism, respect for access, and whether modern outdoor recreation is helping preserve Maine's outdoor culture, or slowly changing the very thing people are trying to experience.From log drives to overlanding, the Maine outdoors has never stopped changing.#MaineOutdoorEnthusiast #MaineOutdoors #MaineWoods #Overlanding #LogDrives #MaineHistory #OutdoorEconomy #NorthMaineWoods #SportingCamps #MaineGuides #OutdoorRecreation #MaineFishing #MaineHunting #Camping #Backroads #OutdoorPodcast

The Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady and Clay Croft discuss XOVERLAND's 40,000-kilometer Africa crossing, recorded with just 300 kilometers remaining to Cape Agulhas. They navigate West Africa's uncertainties—coups, elections, and border hurdles—while managing sickness and tight schedules. Key practical lessons include maintaining a 1,000-kilometer fuel range due to local shortages. They credit their multi-skilled team and local support for overcoming challenges like Guinea's extreme roads and infrastructure gaps. Reviewing vehicle performance, they highlight the reliability of Toyota hybrid drivetrains on varied fuel quality, Mobil 1 fluids, and Starlink connectivity. Despite minimal mechanical issues, they suggest future modifications like enhanced front protection for the Tacomas. This expedition underscores the resilience required for transcontinental travel through one of the world's most demanding environments.
This weeks episode of the Overland Journal Podcast, host Ashley Giordano welcomes German overlander Lilli Mixich to discuss Lilli's lifelong love affair with the African continent. Currently overlanding solo in a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ60 named Toyo, Mixich shares what she's learned from various vehicle platforms, including the Land Rover 109, Magirus Deutz expedition truck, and a Toyota HJ47 ex-bush ambulance. Lilli dives into how, at age 55, she built the confidence to travel on her own, care for her Land Cruiser, and overland Africa on her own terms. @lillitogo
Host Ashley Giordano welcomes Paula and Jeremy Dear, two Brits en route from Belgium to Southern Africa in a 32-year-old ex-Belgian Iveco military police truck. In this episode, Paula and Jeremy dive into why they chose this vehicle for travel in Africa, how a slow pace has allowed them to experience places more deeply, and how prioritizing cultural immersion has brought joy along the way.
For the last 7 years, my overlanding setup has revolved around a bed rack and rooftop tent. It's taken me on incredible trips, helped me learn what actually matters on the trail, and honestly shaped the way I camp and travel. But lately, I've realized my needs have changed… and that's why I'm making a pretty massive switch.In this video, I talk about why I'm moving away from my traditional RTT setup and diving headfirst into an Alibaba camper build for my Nissan Frontier. From comfort and convenience to weather protection, storage, faster camp setup, and long-term travel goals, I break down the real reasons behind the change — including some of the frustrations that finally pushed me over the edge.I also share what I'm hoping this camper setup will improve, some concerns I still have, and why I think a lot of overlanders eventually reach this same crossroads after years on the road.This isn't about saying rooftop tents are bad. I still think they make sense for a ton of people. But for where I'm at right now, I think a lightweight camper might be the next evolution of my setup.If you've ever debated RTT vs camper, are curious about Alibaba campers, or you're just interested in the future of this build, this video should give you a pretty honest look at where my head is at.Products mentioned in the video:Vevor Toilet: https://amzn.to/4wzwuENMy Top Oak Roof Top Tent-Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oVxqz8Or, if you prefer to buy direct: https://tidd.ly/4u56K1h#Overlanding #TruckCamper #NissanFrontier #AlibabaCamper #RoofTopTent #CampingBuild #OverlandSetup #TruckBuild #OverlandCamping #AdventureRigA 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.

Overlanding has exploded in popularity over the last few years, but is it just another social media trend or is it changing the future of RV travel for good? In this episode of Beyond The Wheel, Kenny and Sean take a deep dive into the rapid growth of overlanding, why so many travelers are being drawn to it, and how the RV industry is responding. The guys discuss how overlanding has evolved from a niche off-road hobby into a broader lifestyle focused on self-reliant travel, off-grid camping, and exploring places beyond the traditional campground. They also talk about the differences between the polished version of overlanding seen on Instagram and the reality of traveling remote roads, managing resources, and dealing with the unexpected. This episode also covers: Why overlanding has become so popular How social media helped fuel the movement The rise of off-grid and adventure focused RVs Why more RVers are seeking dispersed camping and remote travel The reality of overlanding versus the online image Responsible travel and protecting public lands Whether overlanding is becoming too expensive How vehicles like the Winnebago ARKA fit into the future of the market Where the overlanding industry may be heading next Whether you are a hardcore off-road enthusiast, a weekend explorer, or simply curious about why adventure vehicles are suddenly everywhere, this episode offers a realistic look at one of the fastest growing trends in the outdoor industry.

This episode of The Overland Journal Podcast, hosts Scott and Matt discuss choosing overland 12V fridges over coolers, advocating for the smallest necessary size (25–35L for one/two, 45–55L for small families) to avoid heavy slides and oversized units (like 80L for just drinks). They compare chest/drawer fridges to less efficient door-opening models, emphasize that cooldown speed matters mainly for warm groceries, and outline testing metrics: power draw, temperature accuracy, and warm-up time. They review brands, noting Engel's reliability issues, Dometic's value, National Luna's build quality/higher power use, and the heavy but high-performing ARB Elements 60L, plus Iceco and EcoFlow's battery/app features, promoting upcoming Overland Journal test results.

Technology has completely changed the overlanding world—but is that a good thing, or are we losing something along the way? In this episode, I dive into the pros and cons of modern technology in overlanding, from GPS navigation and Starlink internet to power stations, fridges, apps, vehicle options, and all the gadgets that make life on the trail easier.I talk about how tech can improve safety, comfort, communication, and convenience, but also how it can add cost, distractions, complexity, and sometimes take away from the raw adventure many of us fell in love with in the first place. Has overlanding become too dependent on gear and screens, or is technology simply the natural evolution of the hobby?Whether you're a minimalist who prefers paper maps and basic gear or someone building the ultimate high-tech rig, this is a conversation worth having.

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady interviews recent world record holder John Ballsdon of Always Look Twice about his 28-day drive from Nordkapp, Norway to Cape Agulhas, South Africa, largely hugging West Africa's coast in two Ineos Grenadiers, one towing a Bruder trailer. John shares how his mother, a professional photographer, shaped his attention to detail and how early travels to India and later living 10.5 years in Moscow fueled a lifelong drive to document landscapes and cultures. They discuss staying grounded after travel through planning, journaling, and reflection, plus the contrasts of living abroad versus passing through. John explains why he pursued the record as an antidote to “doom scrolling,” highlights Guinea and the North Cape, describes low points in Angola, a lost passport recovered through Nigerian kindness, vehicle prep and fuel strategy, and a forthcoming feature-length film planned for autumn.

In this episode, I'm talking about something that makes overlanding so much more than just vehicles, gear, and remote campsites—the people. Over the years, I've realized that one of the most powerful parts of this lifestyle is the sense of community that comes with it. Whether it's helping someone on the trail, sharing advice around a campfire, or connecting instantly with someone who understands your passion for adventure, overlanding has a way of bringing people together like family.I'll share my thoughts on why the overlanding community is so unique, how these shared experiences create real bonds, and why the friendships built through this lifestyle often become just as meaningful as the journeys themselves. If you've ever felt that special connection with fellow overlanders, this episode will hit home.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.

In this episode, I'm talking about something I don't think gets enough attention in the overlanding world—what happens when the excitement starts to fade and it just… isn't as fun anymore.I've been there. What starts as an incredible adventure—building your rig, planning trips, chasing new places—can slowly turn into something that feels more like work than escape. The gear gets overwhelming, the expectations get higher, and before you know it, you're exhausted instead of recharged.In this episode, I break down some of the common parts of overlanding that can create burnout or exhaustion and some ways to avoid them. Especially if you're newer to this hobby, you need to be aware of some of the challenges you might face. If you've ever felt like your trips aren't hitting the same, or your build has started to feel more like a burden than a passion, or you're just not sure to expect while overlanding, this one's for you.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.

On this episode of the Overland Journal Podcast, host Scott Brady welcomes James Fountain, a cultural geographer and fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club, to discuss how exploration can support communities and science. Fountain shares how Overland Journal first inspired him, formative work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with the United Nations remapping roads, and how cultural geography examines how landscapes shape cultures. They compare happiness and development through examples like Malawi and Bhutan, including Bhutan's Gross National Happiness and conservation policies, and discuss reducing travel gear and impact. Fountain recounts an ambitious Wakhan Corridor motorcycle journey relying on local generosity, then offers practical guidance on respectful, sustainable travel and citizen science.
When you're building out an overlanding rig, the excitement to just start bolting parts on can be overwhelming… but trust me, a solid plan makes all the difference. In this episode, I walk through my strategy for planning an overland build the right way before turning a single wrench.I talk about the importance of documenting dimensions, measuring twice (or three times!) and cutting once, and why creating a simple spreadsheet or Google Doc can save you tons of headaches. I'll show you how I map out every step of a build so I know exactly what needs to happen — and in what order — to keep the project moving forward smoothly.Toward the end, I share one of my favorite practical tips: laying out all the gear and components you already own on the floor so you can visualize the setup, talk through your plan, and update your drawings based on real-world space and fitment. Finally, I explain why ordering everything you'll need before the build begins can help you avoid frustrating delays once you're in the middle of the project.If you're planning your first overland build — or just want to be more strategic with your next round of mods — this video will help you stay organized, save time, and build with confidence.As mentioned in the vid, here are some of the items shown or discussed:Link to order the camper I'm getting with accessories (this just sends the order to HiperLion but then you'll actually purchase through Alibaba-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING147 for your choice in $170 in free accessories): https://hiperlionoutdoor.com/product/build-your-complete-setup-in-one-page/200W CIGS Solar Panel I'm going to run: https://amzn.to/4pA8AnTMy 3000W Inverter: https://amzn.to/3Zi23DuRemote Power Box with anderson plugs (order this early because shipping is slow): https://amzn.to/3P6638nFancy toilet for camper: https://amzn.to/3PFKv2C100 Ft of 12 Gauge Wire for misc wiring: https://amzn.to/4c6CWeu14 gauge quick connects: https://amzn.to/3ZFElBn40 Ft. of 0 Gauge Wire: https://amzn.to/3ZDkN0vTrolling Motor Mounts: https://amzn.to/4sim5dZMictuning Switch Panel: https://amzn.to/4sjHlAnLiTime 320AH Heated Mini LifePo4 Battery (will probably run 2): https://amzn.to/4rGiLsdBougeRV Sensor Lights for inside camper: https://amzn.to/4uBN4TwA huge thanks to my partners:Top Oak (amazing roof top tents and awnings for budget prices): https://topoakoverland.com/?sscid=51k9_mt1ba&Z1 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/ALLTHINGSOVERLANDINGClick here to join the Patreon community for exclusive content and access to the Discord channel: https://www.patreon.com/allthingsoverlandingClick here to get a patches or stickers: https://allthingsoverlanding.com/shop/For a full list of my gear, check out this page for quick reference links: https://allthingsoverlanding.com/gear/Looking for budget light bars, rock lights, and LED strips for your rig?

Overlanding used to mean taking a week or two off work, loading up the truck, and trying to squeeze as much adventure as possible into a limited amount of vacation time. But things are changing.In this episode, I talk about the new overlanding lifestyle — working from anywhere. Thanks to remote work, better mobile internet, Starlink, and more flexible jobs, a growing number of people are finding ways to travel longer, explore more, and still earn a living while on the road.Some are younger adventurers prioritizing experiences over traditional milestones, while others are professionals who have built careers that finally allow them to work remotely and fund extended travel. Either way, the result is the same: more people are blending work, adventure, and travel into one lifestyle.I'll break down what's driving this shift, how people are making it work financially, and what it might mean for the future of overlanding. If you've ever wondered how people manage to travel longer while still paying the bills, this conversation might give you a new perspective on what's possible.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.

On this episode of the Overland Journal Podcast hosts Matt Scott and Scott Brady explore the future of overlanding, focusing on new technologies and trends. They highlight portable fridges with hot-swappable batteries (like EcoFlow/Bluetti) that offer extended runtime, device charging, and solar input, potentially eliminating complex dual-battery setups. They also discuss the rise of simpler lithium power packs as all-in-one alternatives, noting security concerns off-road. The conversation covers rapid battery advancements and the impact of satellite connectivity (Starlink) on remote work, while emphasizing the importance of disconnecting during travel. They note easier logistics due to e-visas, cautioned about increased security risks from constant connectivity, and predicted a shift toward range-extended EVs/PHEVs, which offer massive auxiliary power. They conclude by stressing that the best overland builds prioritize simplicity, reliability, minimal modifications, and choosing the right base vehicle.
This one's all about overlanding destinations — the places we've loved and the ones still on the list.

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.

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...
