Podcasts about Overlanding

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady discusses the core principles of overlanding navigation with Chris Cordes, highlighting primary, secondary, contingency, and emergency backups. They compare three main app categories: turn-by-turn tools like Google Maps, reference/layer apps like iOverlander and Tracks4Africa, and hybrid discipline-specific platforms such as onX and Gaia. While Google excels at everyday routing and real-time traffic, onX offers specialized backcountry features, including land ownership layers, trail data, weather updates, offline mapping, and off-road turn-by-turn routing. The pair emphasize thorough pre-planning, downloading maps for offline use, re-evaluating routes after navigation mistakes, and carrying redundant devices alongside paper maps. Finally, they explore responsible land stewardship, onX’s trail-verification process, global expansion, AI planning tools, and the Overwatch Rescue evacuation add-on.

In this episode, I'm diving into some of the debates and personal preferences that seem to come up over and over again in the overlanding world. Does your truck need to stay clean, or is being covered in dirt part of the experience? Should all your gear have a permanent home on your rig, or is a modular setup better? And are you someone who plans and pre-stages everything ahead of a trip, or are you throwing gear in the truck at the last minute?I'll share where I land on each of these, but more importantly, talk about why I don't think there's necessarily a “right” way to do any of it.And finally, I'm tackling one of my favorite debates: overlanding vs. car camping. Does the label really matter? In my opinion, if you're getting out, exploring, camping, and having adventures with your vehicle, call it whatever you want.Let me know where you fall on these debates in the comments—I'm curious how differently everyone approaches overlanding!A huge thanks to my partners: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.

Overland Journal Podcast host Matt Scott and Scott Brady discuss rugged terrain (RT) or “hybrid” tires as a third category between all-terrain (AT) and mud-terrain (MT), arguing RTs let ATs and MTs stay true to their strengths while better matching overlanders’ mostly-on-pavement use. They compare void ratios, noise/vibration/harshness, tread life, snow and wet-road performance, fuel-economy impacts, and load capacity, with examples from Toyo RT Pro, BFG HD Terrain, and other models. They stress how subjective tire testing is and describe past double-blind, same-vehicle testing, hoping to run an RT test later. Key buying attributes include 3-peak mountain snowflake ratings, sidewall construction (not just ply count), siping tradeoffs, and tire width choices favoring taller, narrower sizes for fit and efficiency. They critique treadwear warranties pushing harder compounds and note rising tire costs. New to Overland Journal and want to grab a subscription!

In this episode, I'm asking a question I've been thinking about for a while: Is the overlanding boom finally over?Overlanding exploded in popularity over the last several years, but lately it feels like things are changing. Social media is packed with overlanding channels, brands are sending free gear to seemingly everyone, expos have gotten bigger and more commercialized, and sometimes it feels like simply putting the word “overland” on a product automatically makes it more expensive.I share my thoughts on where the hobby is today, whether overland expos still have the same appeal, how influencer marketing and free gear are affecting reviews, and whether we're paying an unnecessary “overland tax” for the gear we buy.I don't think overlanding is going away—but I do wonder if we've reached the other side of the massive boom.What do you think? Has overlanding peaked, or is the hobby just evolving? Let me know in the comments!Here are a few links to things I mentioned in the video to make finding them easy:Hest Foamy Wide Mattress (fits in camper and is super comfy): https://amzn.to/4cFmXn8320AH Heated LiTime Batteries: https://amzn.to/4zjd08IMovcan V30 Max Ebike (use code ATO120 for $120 off!): https://movcan.com/products/movcan-v30-max-electric-bike?sca_ref=11762401.1ds6DMdrkYMy Alibaba camper is from HiperLion.

Battle Born and Dakota Lithium are joining forces—but what's really going on, and what could it mean for the overlanding industry?This week, we dig into the Battle Born–Dakota Lithium story before turning to a much bigger question for travelers and overlanders: are grocery-store cameras, facial recognition and Walmart voiceprints turning everyday life into biometric surveillance?We also debate whether Buc-ee's trademark fight with Beaver's is protecting a brand or corporate bullying; whether the WNBA could face legal problems by ignoring two NBA players attempting to enter its draft; and whether President Trump's secret plane switch suggests Iran poses a greater threat than the public realizes.Then we ask whether communism is becoming mainstream within the Democratic Party, whether America can fight a major war while relying on foreign-produced munitions, and what the replacement of the USS Abraham Lincoln says about the toll the Iran war may be taking on U.S. troop morale.Plus, we remember Jackie, the beloved Big Bear bald eagle.

Recorded partly on location, this episode captures the atmosphere, the highs, the lows, and the moments that make these sudden expeditions memorable.So settle in and join us as we hear how Tim stepped up, took one for the team, and embarked on what can only be described as an emergency camping mission.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

If you've spent any time shopping for overlanding gear, you've probably noticed something: add the word "overland" to almost any product, and the price seems to jump overnight. In this episode, I'm diving into what I like to call the **Overlanding Tax**—where it shows up, why it exists, and whether it's ever actually worth paying.I'll break down some of the biggest offenders, from rooftop tents and shovels, to vehicles and other things that can quietly drain your budget. More importantly, I'll share where I think spending extra really does get you better quality and where you might be paying more for branding than performance.Whether you're just getting into overlanding or you've been building your rig for years, this episode is all about helping you make smarter buying decisions, avoid unnecessary expenses, and focus your budget on the upgrades that truly improve your adventures.What do you think is the biggest example of the Overlanding Tax? Let me know in the comments—I'd love to hear where you think the industry gets it right... and where it gets a little carried away.Here are some of the budget priced options I talked about in the episode:Here's a link to the Alibaba page for this camper (use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING147 to get 2 items free, worth up to $170 or mention All Things Overlanding to your rep): https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Truck-Camper-Custom-Hard-Shell-Rooftop_1601727228413.html?spm=a2747.product_manager.0.0.380971d2UHgNseBudget Shovel: https://amzn.to/3Qhh3B3Setpower Fridge: https://amzn.to/3QSspvsHest Mattress: https://amzn.to/4faagCyWhite Duck Sleeping Bag: https://whiteduckoutdoors.sjv.io/c/2836542/1823262/21733?iratid=41039&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwhiteduckoutdoors.com%2Fcollections%2Fsleeping-bag%2Fproducts%2Fsleeping-bag-0-f

Overland Journal podcast host Scott Brady talks with Jason Speck of Mountain State Overland at historic Camp Cheat in West Virginia about his outdoors origins in scouting, preparedness, and the importance of training with gear before it's needed. They compare overlanding in the East versus the West, including narrower trails, frequent downed trees, and incorporating history and multi-sport activities into trips. Speck shares route highlights like Canaan Loop, Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, the Mid-Atlantic BDR, and the Trans America Trail, emphasizing discovery and responsible travel through micro-groups and Tread Lightly principles. The episode explores Camp Cheat's connection to “The Vagabonds”—Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs—who stayed there during a 1918 motor-camping trip. Speck also discusses his Tacoma/Modcap setup, community events like Adventure XFest, and the need for guide standards and safety. WEBSITE | Mountain State Overland |Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeThe Overland Journal Podcast is brought to you this week by:  Nitto Tire, Overland Journal Magazine and Hankook TireNew to Overland Journal and want to grab a subscription!

Have you ever wondered whether overlanding is actually better than taking a traditional vacation? After spending years exploring both, I wanted to sit down and compare the two to see which one really offers the better experience.In this episode, I'm breaking down the pros and cons of overlanding versus traditional travel, including the real costs, flexibility, comfort, adventure, stress, and the kinds of memories each one creates. Whether you're dreaming about building an overland rig or you're perfectly happy booking flights and hotels, I think you'll find there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.I'll share my personal experiences, the things I love about both styles of travel, and why my perspective has changed over the years.

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.
