    I'll walk you through the pros and cons of all 4 seasons and also my opinion and what I've come to prefer after doing this for years. Obviously, everyone has different preferences so I'm going to talk through pros and cons as well as solutions to improve your trips in any season, so check out the full episode for all the info.

  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about the all new Overland Adventure Summit. This is a new event that takes place in Kentucky and is happening the first week of June.

    I've been posting about it on my other social channels (links below) so sorry for the late notice if you don't follow elsewhere, but if you can get that weekend off, definitely come check it out.

    Not only is it put on by Revere Overland, Shawnee Hills Workshop (awesome drawers and seat deletes), and Commonwealth 4x4 (Overland upfitting and builds) but it's also in the beautiful Red River Gorge area and super close to the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway trail systems.

    So, there will be a ton of trails to hit, awesome vendors to check out, and raffles to potentially win.

    If you don't have tickets, use code Jason 9376 and get them ASAP: https://overlandadventuresummit.regfox.com/overland-adventure-summit?r=JASON9376

  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm talking about the 5 pieces of gear that I no longer use much if at all on Overlanding trips. What stuff didn't make the cut?

    I'm going to focus on the things I thought I would use more, but don't. Things like my awning, leveling blocks, my Ignik Propane Firepit, a shovel, and water filtration systems.

  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm talking about what gear I still use on every trip after over 5 years of doing Overlanding trips. What has made the cut and what do I no longer use?

    In this week's episode, I'm going to focus on the things I love like a built in fridge, a roof top tent, a dual battery set up, suspension and tire upgrades, and lighting upgrades.

    Check out the full episode for all the details and explanation as to why I think those things are gamechangers and why I'd recommend them for folks diving deeper into Overlanding.

  • In this week's episode, I wanted to talk a bit about how I'm falling down the rabbit hole of "prepping" and also why it works really well with overlanding.

    If you aren't aware of what prepping is or think it's just about the nuclear apocalypse, there's a lot of positivity that comes from being prepared in the event of getting stuck offroad or while remote and a lot of the gear from overlanding carries over to prepping as well.

    So, check out the full episode to hear why overlanding and prepping go hand in hand and how I'm repurposing some of my old overlanding gear to get more prepared for something like getting stuck or breaking down while overlanding.

  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk a bit about how people, regardless of their budget for buying rigs or gear, are out of control and actively discouraging people from wanting to join the hobby of overlanding. This isn't an indictment or a scolding, but rather a discussion of how it's happening, some of the ways that we're allowing it to happen, and ultimately, how I think we can come together to fix it.

  • In this week's episode, I'm going to talk a bit about the real costs of Overlanding. It's something I think a lot of people underestimate, but the dollars can add up quickly if you're not careful and aware of falling into some of the common traps with buying Overlanding gear and vehicles.

    I'll walk you through the importance of deciding what type of trips you're going to take, which vehicle you want to build out, and then how much comfort and convenience you want in your build. I'll give you some real world numbers based on my experience so you can get a better idea of the true cost of Overlanding.

  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm going to run you through the basics of solar power and it's uses for overlanding. I see people asking lots of questions in overlanding and camping groups and forums, so while I'm no electrician, I've been using solar for the last 4 or 5 years and I've learned a lot.

    I was in the same place as a lot of us 5 years ago where solar seemed really intimidating and scary, but once I got into it, it's really pretty straightforward and there are so many valuable uses that it's a powerful tool for your overlanding build.

    As I mention in the video, here are a couple of helpful links to related articles that may help if you're getting started in solar.

    Mono vs. Poly: Solar Cells Comparison: https://sunvivalguide.com/amorphous-vs-monocrystalline-vs-polycrystalline-solar-panel/

    Solar calculator: https://mowgli-adventures.com/rv-solar-calculator/

    And here are some of the solar products I've used over the years that I liked:

    The first 100W Renogy Solar panel with controller that I ran on my Xterra ($130 and includes panel, controller, and cords): https://amzn.to/42YED7p

    Odyssey AGM Starter battery (ran this in both my Xterra and again in my Frontier-if you're not in a Nissan truck, verify the battery size for your application): https://amzn.to/3SYXnyP

    I built a portable power bank on the cheap using this battery (100AH LifePo4): https://amzn.to/3T0a9gC

    And I put that battery in a pre-made battery box for tons of capacity for around $300 total: https://amzn.to/3Ifwpyj

    If you have a solar panel, but want a decent budget controller to allow you to hook it up to a battery, this one is great and it's $18: https://amzn.to/3P0oQzh

    Or, if you want a better MPPT controller, this one is under $70 and has bluetooth connectivity and a phone app: https://amzn.to/3TdyZuK

    Here's that Allpowers power bank and it comes with a 200 watt flexible panel (I'm going to mount mine to the top of my RTT for about $500 total including the power bank and the solar panel): https://amzn.to/49Tkfqi

  • 🚙 Overlanding 101: How to Choose the Best Overland Vehicle for You 🌍

    In this comprehensive guide, I'll break down some essential tips and factors to consider when choosing the perfect overlanding vehicle for your adventures. Whether you're a seasoned overlander or a beginner looking to dive into the world of off-grid exploration, this video is your roadmap to selecting the ultimate overland vehicle for you while saving time and money.

    🔍 Key Topics Covered:

    🏞️ Starting with what you already own: It's easy to fall into the trap of running out to buy the new hottest vehicle and getting into overlanding can be exciting. However, until you've done it for a while, you may not know exactly what you need, so it can be most cost effective (and it should save you a lot of time trying to rebuild after making a bad decision with your first rig) to start with what you have an learn from that.

    🚗 Will it be a dedicated overlanding rig or your daily driver: Your overlanding build will change based on whether you have to haul around friends and family, whether you travel a long distance every day to get to and from work, etc. Taking these factors into consideration will help you select and build the right vehicle for you.

    🛠️ Budget: It's easy to look at your budget for a vehicle and then spend that full budget, but it's more helpful to consider how capable the vehicle you're considering is and then factor in modifications you'll need to make and gear you'll need to purchase to include all of that in your total budget.

    🌟 Why Watch?

    Whether you're planning your first overland adventure or looking to upgrade your current vehicle, this video provides a wealth of information to empower your decision-making process. Discover the freedom of overlanding and make sure your vehicle is ready for the challenges that lie ahead!

  • In this episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk about what I think are the next 3 big trends that will either start or continue throughout 2024. Now that Overlanding has become a bigger thing in the United States, what will happen with the industry? What will happen with the types and quantity of modifications for our vehicles or gear for camping?
