If you've ever wondered what an Overland Expo is all about—or if you're planning to attend your first one—this episode is for you. 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.

When most people think about overlanding, they think about the gear — the rooftop tents, the recovery boards, the fridges, and the rigs. But in this video, I want to talk about something even more important than the latest equipment: your health.I've realized that no matter how dialed in my setup is, none of it matters if I'm not healthy enough to actually get out there and enjoy the trails, campfires, and long days behind the wheel. I'll share some personal thoughts on why taking care of your body and mind is the real foundation for more adventures, more miles, and more memories.So if you're like me and love overlanding, but also want to keep doing it for years to come, this video might give you the perspective you didn't know you needed.Don't forget to add this podcast to your favorites or leave a 5 star review if you enjoy content!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.

This is our first video podcast. We talk about how overlander love to hate on other overlanders.

In this episode of the Overland Journal Podcast, host Scott Brady sits down with renowned overland photographer Michael Ellem. The two discuss their shared adventures across Australia, including remote and technical tracks like Cape York and the Canning Stock Route. Michael, who has been ARB's principal photographer for decades, shares his expertise in capturing the perfect shot, his loyalty to the ARB brand, and the importance of following one's creative passion.

When I hit the trails, I never imagined I'd be facing something far scarier than rough terrain or bad weather. Out of nowhere, a sudden heart blockage stopped me in my tracks and led to open heart surgery. One day I was planning my next overlanding trip… the next, I was fighting just to have the chance to go on another one.In this video, I open up about the reality of what happened, how quickly life can change, and how close I came to losing the adventures I love—and nearly my life. This isn't just a story about overlanding; it's a warning about paying attention to your health, even when you don't think anything can happen to you.If you've ever taken your health for granted or ignored pain or symptoms, I hope my story makes you pause, reflect, and take care of yourself—because you never know when life might throw you a detour you never expected.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, Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady is joined by Coen from Landcruising.adventure. In a world where gear doesn't define the journey, Coen and his partner Karen have inspired many with their authentic travels. Join us on the podcast as Coen shares their unique approach to exploration, embracing simple joys and meaningful connections with people around the globe. This episode is a heartfelt discussion on life, challenges, and the endless possibilities of human connection. A captivating conversation about exploration, resilience, and the power of human connection across cultures. Coen's journey is a remarkable reminder to embrace each day and never stop exploring.

Adventure begins where the pavement ends, but the real journey happens within. Drawing inspiration from iconic action films like James Bond and Mission Impossible, I've discovered that the heart-pounding excitement I seek isn't just found in movie theaters—it's waiting on dirt roads and mountain passes aboard my BMW 1250 GS Adventure.The Overland Expo recently returned to Loveland, Colorado, bringing together a community of explorers who understand something profound: getting away from the 24-hour news cycle and constant digital connectivity isn't just enjoyable—it's essential. While overlanding typically involves massive vehicles equipped for extended self-sufficient travel, the mindset shares remarkable parallels with adventure motorcycling. Both offer pathways to mindfulness in a world that rarely slows down.Mindfulness transforms motorcycle adventures from mere trips into journeys of personal growth. Rather than focusing solely on destinations or perfect Instagram moments, truly mindful riding means noticing the subtle sensations—the changing patterns of wind, the vibration of your engine, the play of light across the landscape. When unexpected challenges arise, as they inevitably will, this present-moment awareness helps you respond with resilience rather than frustration. The self-reliance developed on remote roads builds confidence that extends far beyond your adventures. So before reaching for your phone at that breathtaking vista, take a moment to simply be there, letting the experience sink deeply into your heart. The freedom of motorcycle travel isn't just about where you go—it's about the space it creates for self-discovery and deeper connection to the world around you. One mile, one breathtaking view, one quiet moment at a time.

In this episode, Patty discusses her remarkable travels with her husband, Lauren, which include crossing Africa, the Americas, and the Darien Gap. Patty shares vivid details of their expeditions, the challenges faced, and the perseverance required. They also touch on her experience living in the Panama Canal Zone, dealing with loss, and navigating through formidable terrains. 

We talk with Brent Baker from Oregon Adventure Trucks about the overlanding journey. We'll start off by discussing car camping, move to dispersed camping, and eventually progress to full-on adventure travel. We'll discuss the essential gear you'll need for your first camping trip, an overview of the preparation for adventure travel, and some things to consider as you begin your travels into the backcountry.Overlanding and Adventure TravelAs overlanding has exploded in popularity over the last decade, the term has become ubiquitous across the outdoor recreation industry, often used by anyone heading to the forest for a weekend of camping. We'll discuss the typical journey many of us take, starting as car campers and progressing to multi-day overlanding trips, and for the fortunate, extended journeys spanning thousands of miles. Before you dive headfirst into your first big trip, whether it's a multi-day or longer excursion, there are a few things to consider. Ben and Brent will share their experiences and tips, covering essential gear, Leave No Trace and TREAD Lightly principles, respecting the land and locals, and how to keep your adventure on track.Oregon Adventure TrucksBrent Baker is the owner of Oregon Adventure Trucks, based in Bend, Oregon.  Oregon AT specializes in outfitting vehicles for off-grid camping and overlanding.

I've been seeing more and more hate in the overlanding YouTube space lately—people leaving nasty comments, complaining about video topics, or acting like creators are just out to sell stuff. So in this episode, I'm speaking honestly about it and how people are entitled to their opinions, but also that there are a lot of factors that most people don't understand or know about.If you don't like a video… skip it. If you don't vibe with a creator… don't watch. It's that simple. I'm sharing some behind-the-scenes insight into what influences the content we make, the balance between passion and sustainability, and how this whole thing really works from the creator's side.Honestly, the goal is to have a really honest and fun conversation, not to argue or belittle people. Let's build a community that supports, encourages, and helps others get outdoors, explore, and learn. If we want overlanding to keep growing in a healthy way, we've got to stop tearing each other down.Thanks for listening—and if you've ever left a kind comment or shared a video, just know it means more than you think.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.

Harrison Schoen (@harrisonschoen) made his name living in a Porsche Cayenne and sharing raw, honest stories from the road. But it was a moment on national television—walking away from a $1,000,000 prize on MrBeast's Beast Games—that cemented his ethos: some experiences are worth more than money. In this episode, we explore Harrison's background, why he chooses the harder path, and how storytelling, travel, and self-reliance shape his approach to life. We also discuss his latest project—a Unimog build for a Pan-American journey—and what it means to stay rooted in travel, not trends.

In this episode, we sit down with Spencer Park of BlissMobil to talk about our shared passion for expedition vehicles—what makes them special, what they enable, and why they matter. From design philosophy to real-world functionality, we explore what separates true expedition platforms from ordinary builds. Along the way, we share personal stories, practical advice, and the lessons learned from life on the road. Whether you're dreaming of global travel or just refining your rig, this conversation offers insight from both sides of the experience: living in these vehicles, and building them to go the distance.

Ever wonder if it really makes sense to have two vehicles—one for daily driving and one built for overlanding? In this video, I'm sharing why I chose to go that route, what it's been like living with both, and the pros and cons that come with this setup.I break down how having a dedicated overlanding rig has allowed me to build it exactly how I want—without worrying about commuting, parking garages, or fuel economy. At the same time, having a separate daily driver keeps things practical (while giving me a back up if I need to run some errands while the "rig" is down for mods or maintenance).If you're torn between building an all-in-one rig or splitting the duties between two vehicles, this video is for you. Let's talk real-world tradeoffs, what it's costing me, and whether I'd make the same decision again.Let me know what setup you run in the comments—I'd love to hear how others are solving this!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.

Anyone can bolt parts to a truck—but building a factory overlander is something else entirely. In this episode, recorded live at Overland Expo, we sit down with Dave Harriton, founder of AEV (American Expedition Vehicles), to explore what it actually takes to engineer an OEM-validated overland vehicle. From Jeep and Ram to full production lines at GM, Dave shares what goes into building expedition-ready platforms that roll straight off the assembly line—vehicles that have to meet the same durability, safety, and emissions standards as any other factory model. It's a rare look into the world where overlanding meets automotive engineering at scale—and why most aftermarket builds aren't playing the same game.

It's easy to get caught up in the business of overlanding and forget to actually travel. But Basil Lynch never stopped. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Basil's Garage—an overland outfitter based in San Diego—to talk about why staying on the road matters more than ever. From international travel to local weekend getaways, Basil's real-world experience continues to shape how he builds vehicles, advises clients, and runs his shop. We dig into his background, his favorite travel moments, and why firsthand experience is still the best way to know what gear works—and what doesn't. This is a reminder that in an industry built on adventure, the best advice still comes from those who live it.

In this episode of the Overland Bonfire Podcast, we reconnect with a longtime friend of the Blue Ridge crew—someone you've probably seen in past trail tech videos and rig walkarounds. While he's spent over a decade in the overland scene, this conversation is less about his latest build and more about where that journey has taken him next.Two years ago to the day, he made the call to shut down his trail tech brand. Now, he's launched Evolution Woodworks, a business that brings his background in craftsmanship and design into a new chapter. We dig into what it took to make that leap, and some of the interesting things he is doing in this new chapter.We also swap stories from past overlanding trips, reflect on the value of doing things by hand, and talk about finding balance between utility and beauty in the things we build.If you're into craftsmanship, small business journeys, and gear that tells a story, this one's for you.Check out Evolution Woodworks → https://www.evowoodworks.com/

Made in the West: American Innovation in OverlandingWhat does overland innovation look like when it's born in a Montana machine shop instead of an international trade show? In this episode, we sit down with Matt Linder, CEO of Truckhouse, and Graeme MacPherson of Go Fast Campers—two leaders shaping the future of American-made expedition vehicles. From composite monocoques to ultra-light pop-up campers, both are proving that thoughtful design and domestic manufacturing can still punch above their weight. This conversation explores the philosophy behind their products, the value of restraint in design, and why American ingenuity still matters in a space often dominated by imported gear.

Before overlanding was a hashtag, it was a mindset—and Graeme Jackson was one of the people who helped define it in the U.S. In this episode, we sit down with Graeme to trace the origins of overlanding in North America, from the founding days of Overland Journal to the first Overland Expo. With decades of international experience, including a full traverse of Africa in the early 2000s, Graeme brings a unique blend of practical insight and historical context. This conversation is a window into where we've come from—and what we might need to remember as the industry moves forward.

I've made a lot of modifications to my overlanding rigs over the years—but not all of them were good ideas. In this episode, I'm taking a hard look at how certain upgrades can actually hurt your setup instead of helping it. From suspension changes that wreck ride quality to accessories that add unnecessary weight or complexity, I break down the mods that seemed smart at the time but turned out to be more trouble than they're worth.If you're building your rig or thinking about your next upgrade, watch this first. Let's talk about what to avoid, what to rethink, and how to make sure your build actually improves your adventures instead of holding you back.Drop your biggest mod regret or lesson learned in the comments!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/41EJhbQICECO 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.

Scott Brady has spent decades traveling the world by vehicle. Now, he's distilled much of that experience into a compact, accessible, and deeply thoughtful reference guide: Overlanding 101. It's not just a how-to—it's a why-to. And it's probably the best book on overland travel you'll find, but then again, Scott taught me most of what's in it.In this episode, we revisit foundational lessons with fresh perspective, using the book as a framework for a bigger conversation: what we've learned, what's changed, and what still matters most.

The conversation highlights the importance of bridging everyday capability with long-term preparedness, emphasizing practical aspects like everyday carry, vehicle readiness, and the balance between being prepared and avoiding paranoia. Mike also discusses his automotive projects, including his notable modified Tacoma and future plans for a Ford F450.
