The All Things Overlanding Podcast

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. Let me know where you stand—best upgrade or biggest mistake?#Overlanding #Podcast #Adventure #Camping #OffRoad #TruckBuild #OverlandLifeA 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.

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.

Over the years, my camping and overlanding setup has gone through some serious evolution. I’ve slept in ground tents, tried hammock camping, spent plenty of nights in a roof top tent, and now I’m making the move to a hard-sided pop-up camper. In this episode, I’m breaking down my real-world experience with each setup — the good, the bad, and the things you don’t always think about until you’re out on the trail.Each style of camping has its place, and I’ve learned that what works best really depends on how you travel, where you camp, and what level of comfort and convenience you’re looking for. I talk through the biggest pros and cons of each setup including cost, setup time, weather protection, mobility, storage, and overall usability during overlanding trips.I also share why my needs have changed over time and what ultimately pushed me toward switching to a hard-sided camper. This isn’t about saying one setup is better than another — it’s about helping you understand the tradeoffs so you can decide what fits your style of adventure.If you’ve ever debated between a ground tent, hammock, roof top tent, or camper setup, this video should give you a realistic perspective based on actual use, not just specs or marketing claims.Let me know in the comments what setup you currently run and whether you’ve ever considered switching. I always enjoy hearing how other people build their rigs and camp setups.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.

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.

Packing for an overlanding trip can be one of the most satisfying parts of the adventure—or one of the most frustrating if you don’t have a system. In this video, I’m walking you through exactly how I pack for my overlanding trips, from organizing gear to saving space and keeping everything easy to find once I’m out on the trail.I’ll share the packing strategy I’ve developed after years of camping, testing gear, and learning the hard way, plus a few tips and tricks that make setup and teardown way faster. Whether you’re just getting started in overlanding or you’re looking to refine your setup, these ideas will help you stay organized, comfortable, and ready for whatever the trip throws at you.What I cover in this episode:* Options for setups (modular to built in)* What I keep in the truck full time* What I pack a week out* What I pack the day ofHopefully this is all helpful!

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.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a weBoost or Starlink to stay connected off-grid, this video could save you time and money. I’ve used both for overlanding, camping, and working remotely, and they each have their strengths and weaknesses.In this episode, I break down:-How WeBoost and Starlink actually work in the real world-Which one performs better in different types of terrain-The real costs (upfront and ongoing)-Which one makes more sense for overlanding, RVing, or travel-My personal setup and lessons learnedWhether you need internet for work, navigation, or just streaming Netflix in the middle of nowhere, this side-by-side comparison will help you decide which is best for you.If you’ve used weBoost or Starlink yourself, drop a comment and let me know your experience—I know there's going to be some differing opinions on this episode.Here are links to the products mentioned in the episode:Starlink Mini: https://amzn.to/47mTMUcMagnetic aluminum mount for Starlink: https://amzn.to/46OuzStPeakdo Battery for Starlink Mini: https://www.peakdo.com/PeakDo-LinkPower-Power-Bank-and-Mount-for-Starlink-Mini-p6467650.htmlweBoost: https://amzn.to/3Jdfa4gweBoost Antenna: https://amzn.to/41DP1BTweBoost Antenna Mount: https://amzn.to/47sIhdVA 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.

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.
