In this episode of the Overland Journal podcast, host Matt Scott converses with Mike Pfeiffer from Last Line of Defense about practical readiness and overlanding. Mike shares insights from his life as an 'army brat,' his experiences traveling and living in various states, and his journey into off-roading and overlanding. 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. The episode touches on the integration of preparedness into daily life, the value of training and knowledge, and the benefits of partial self-sufficiency, such as using solar power and maintaining a sustainable homestead.

"Our heartbeats are the greatest currency we have." This profound insight comes from Tzara Attwater, who turned personal heartbreak into an epic adventure across Australia's vast wilderness. After walking in on her partner of ten years with another woman, Tzara spent years rebuilding herself before making a bold decision during COVID – converting a Toyota Hiace van with just a jigsaw and YouTube tutorials, then circumnavigating the entire Australian continent solo.The journey tested her in ways she never imagined. There was the time she swam blissfully in Northern Territory waters for days before learning they were crocodile-infested. Or the harrowing seven-hour rescue operation after she broke her leg falling into a gorge, with death adder snakes slithering beneath her stretcher before being airlifted to Perth.As a relationship development coach specializing in anxious attachment styles, Tzara's adventure wasn't just geographical – it was emotional. She discovered that true confidence comes from knowing you're complete on your own, making relationships choices based on desire rather than need. Throughout her 30,000-kilometer odyssey, she continued working with clients online, helping them find their voices while she reclaimed her own.What makes Tzara's story extraordinary isn't just her courage but her philosophy on life, shaped by losing her mother at eight years old. This awareness of mortality fuels her approach to both adventure and relationships – being present, setting boundaries, and spending your limited "heartbeats" wisely.Ready for adventure in your relationships or life journey? Tzara's story proves that sometimes the most meaningful growth happens when we drive straight into the unknown.Be sure and follow along with Tzara and get access to her ebooks by visiting www.myconfidencecoach.com.au.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

This is the first of a monthly, six-episode series celebrating the fact that exactly 40 years ago this year, my family and I spent six months in a striped motorhome travelling around Europe. I was nine years old and yes, this trip had an enormous impact on my life - I'm sure you wouldn't be listening to this podcast today if Van Life 1985 hadn't taken place! Throughout the series, I'll include chats recorded with my Dad this year, extracts from my late Mum's travel diary from 1985, and of course my own memories and thoughts. In this episode, our journey starts in Hong Kong, where you might be surprised at what my Dad remembers most; we then fly into London, where it's all systems go to equip us for the months of travelling ahead, including the important purchase of a motorhome (or a campervan as we called it). We take a hovercraft across the Channel to France, see Paris, and have a very special experience in coastal Biarritz. A big thanks to Context Travel for sponsoring this series, and an even bigger thanks to my Dad for agreeing to be part of it.

Mars and Ash Fite are a creative couple whose journey into van life and travel was sparked by a desire to reconnect with their adventurous spirit after marriage and having children. What began with a spontaneous 48-state road trip quickly transformed into a five-year journey living and working on the road with their children. Along the way, they homeschooled their daughter and welcomed their second child, who was raised on the road. Their experiences fueled a passion for travel and human connection, leading them to settle in Colorado, where they are building Hello Dreamer—a creative retreat space designed to inspire and reconnect people with nature. Mars is a musician and producer, while Ash brings her background in event production and design.
Endlich wieder im Van unterwegs. Nach einem kurzen Stopp in Deutschland fahren wir gerade zu unserem neuen, kleinen Mökki in Finnland. Die Natur ist noch im Winterschlaf, der Frühling zeigt sich nur zögerlich. Noch blüht nichts - außer Huflattich. Auf der Fähre Richtung Helsinki dann eine beunruhigende Nachricht: Die Hütte hat seit unbekannter Zeit keinen Strom und damit auch keine Heizung. Bei -20 Grad werden wohl Leitungen geplatzt sein. Trotzdem bleiben wir erstmal gelassen und kultivieren unser Sisu. Mit diesem kurzen Update melden wir uns direkt von der Straße und laden euch ein, uns Fragen zu stellen – zu unserer Reise, zum Leben unterwegs oder zu allem, was euch gerade interessiert.

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Every now and then we like to Rewind to one of our favorite episodes, normally when one of us is too ill to record or has gone on vacation. At least one of those things has happened this week so we bring you one of our all time favorite episodes...Brian, Blake, and Richard were joined by a special guest for this episode of Chasing Tone Rewound - Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters...We have an extra special guest this week and Brian may or may not fanboy a little bit. It is of course Chris Shiflett who is a monster player with a huge back catalogue of work - including playing in one of Brian's favorite bands, the Foo Fighters. Chris has some very cool new music coming out and also has his own podcast, Walking The Floor, and we talk about some of his escapades including a rare first hand peek into international tour bus life.Chris is a super nice dude, and his stories are absolutely fascinating. The guys talk about how Blake first discovered his music. They also go deep into Chris' love of classic rock and roll, and country music, and the influences that drove him to explore country based rock further. The guys then go right back to Chris' roots and his teenage years and find out all about his earliest tastes and influences and his signature Fender guitar. Conversation turns to his different rigs and then pedals...Brian may have found his new happy place amongst all this Foo tinged pedal talk.Chris has an idea for a custom delay pedal, and gives the guys an entertaining demonstration, and it just so happens Brian knows a guy. As well as being a fantastic player and all round legend, Chris loves football, sorry "soccer", and Richard and he share a love for the same football team so speak in what Blake and Brian can only describe as a completely foreign language. Brian's head spins, and he has fallen in love with one of Chris' solo songs "Born & Raised" so plays a little clip which instantly wins Blake over too. Right at the end Chris gives us some absolute golden insights into his songwriting process which is worth the admission fee itself.This is a special episode and the team hope you enjoy it and would like to say a huge thanks to Chris for coming on - go check out his new music!There may be a swear or two in this but heck - that's rock and roll baby!Van Life, Thierry Henry, The Stone Roses, Glaser mods, Panning Tremelo, Custom Chris Shiflett Delay pedal, Mopey minor keys...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Check out Chris Shiflett's music here and his Podcast Here and look for him on TikTok, kids!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Merch and DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Most people aren't neutral about the idea of living in a car, and that's exactly why we needed to talk about it.This week, we dig into the stigma, structure, and stories behind van life. It's not a guide on how to gut a Sprinter or stealth-camp in a Target parking lot, it's a deeper exploration of what it means to live differently and why that still freaks people out.From the viral story of Dawn Robinson of En Vogue (yes, *that* Dawn) who shared that she's been living in her car by choice for the past three years, to our personal stories of barbers, truckers, and friends navigating life on the margins of “traditional” housing, we cover the full terrain of what it means to opt out of the norm. Spoiler alert: it's complicated.We cover:Why alternative housing is still treated as “failure” unless it's influencer-approvedThe invisible infrastructure that makes van life even possible and why it's not always fully “off-the-grid”Why HUD, housing policy, and language matter more than you thinkThe difference between choosing van life vs. surviving itHow Black culture relates to nontraditional housing, and why we don't often see ourselves in the #vanlife aestheticThe emotional, financial, and logistical costs of so-called “freedom”This is one of those “sit with it” episodes. It's not about romanticizing struggle or glamorizing minimalism, it's about challenging the way we define dignity, shelter, success, and the American dream.Because let's be honest: if someone chooses to live in a van and finds peace, why does it make the rest of us so uncomfortable?Listen in.

April arrives with 3 feet of new snow in Lake Tahoe, making it feel more like January than spring. PowBot recaps his best tour of the year at Lassen National Park while Trail Whisperer breaks his snowmobile. The boys give some listener shout outs and play some 888 COR LORD call-ins, diving deeper into whether or not solo backcountry skiing is dope or derp and if a van is better suited for adventures than a pickup with 4 Wheel Camper. They also discuss the show's intro and outro songs and where all the sound bites came from, decide which of the five senses are most important to them, chat about corner crossing over private land and the controversial reintroduction of the gray wolf into northern California. The show ends with a song called RNO by Trail Whisperer's old band, Man Downstream, paying tribute to the Biggest Little City in the World. 3:00 – Spring is here and it's still winter! Sinter. Apriluary.5:30 – Lots of snow up on Packer Saddle.

You don't buy a season pass to ski pow.55:50 – Sammy G asks: What are the Mind the Track intro and outro songs? Who's the artist? And what are all the soundbites at the beginning?1:10:20 – The Five Senses – which is the most important to you and which one could you not live without?1:21:20 – Corner Crossing between public and private land is deemed legal by U.S. District Court.1:28:30 – Sierra County issues state of emergency for the California Gray Wolf.1:45:00 – DOPE OR DERP – skinning up the face you are going to ski back down.1:48:48 – Outro – RNO by Man Downstream
How much do we REALLY know about eclipses?My answer one year ago would have been - not much.-To amend this, my dog and I witness a total solar eclipse and - nearly a year later - a lunar eclipse in Southern Florida. We use each experience to explore the profound cultural, historical and scientific significance of eclipses.Sit back, relax and join our venture into cosmic happenings well beyond the walls of our small van ...Listener questions at the end of the episode include: If you found a large diamond in Arkansas - what would you do with the money? Did it take you a long time to understand your van's electric system? Will your show be coming to YouTube? Can we get an updated Audiobook recommendation episode? How long in general does it take you to research an episode?

It's unlikely that there is anyone on earth who by now has not heard the name Gabby Petito. This heartbreaking tale captured the world's attention and through her van life journey and social media posts and the latest Netflix documentary the world got to know and fall in love with her.Gabby was the all American girl who seemed to fully embody all the traits that people admire and aspire to; pure joy, endless smiles, a gentle soul, a kind spirit, adventuous, exuberant and a zest for life and living to the absolute fullest. She was an artist from the very beginning and seemed to want everything to align with her vision of creating a beautiful life from a boyfriend who she adored, the trip of a lifetime and a budding career as a creator which would allow her to incorporate all of these. If not for the tragedy that befelled her most of us would never have known Gabby. The world got to see a snapshot of her life. But I think it's fair to say had we had the chance to know Gabby we all would have loved her.

In August 2021, Gabby Petito went missing while on holiday with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. The pair were six weeks into a four month trip across the United States. They'd been living out of Gabby's specially decked out van, documenting and filming every adventure so she could share it on her growing social media platforms. But when the 22-year-old suddenly stopped posting, her family began to fear the worst. Gabby's high-profile disappearance sparked an unprecedented social media movement to find her. An unstoppable onslaught of amateur sleuths and armchair detectives exposed a story no one was prepared to ignore, as the world hung on each development in the nationwide search for Gabby, her fiance, and the truth.
