Anderson Overland Podcast

Winter doesn’t mean adventure season is over. In Episode 127, Joey is joined by his wife Jenna to talk about chasing better weather and keeping the adventures going as the seasons change.

From embracing cold-weather camping to heading for warmer desert destinations, Joey and Jenna talk about choosing winter destinations, preparing your vehicle and camp setup, knowing when conditions aren’t worth pushing, and finding ways to keep getting outside all year long.

Whether you’re camping in the snow or escaping it, sometimes the best winter adventure starts by simply looking at the map and asking: Where can we go this weekend?

In Episode #126 of the Anderson Overland Podcast, Joey and Jenna sit down with Roman, creator of Ghost Subie Adventures, to talk about his philosophy of “Preparedness Without Panic.” Roman shares how his U.S. Army background shaped his approach to everyday preparedness, vehicle-based EDC, fieldcraft, and family adventures.

We also dive into his daily-driven 2022 Subaru Forester, “the Ghost,” and how he’s built a capable overland and preparedness vehicle without an insane budget or dedicated expedition rig. From camping with kids and choosing the right gear to developing practical skills for unexpected situations, this episode is all about being better prepared for both adventure and everyday life.

Sometimes the best adventures don't require a week off or a destination halfway across the country—they're just a couple of days away.

In this episode of the Anderson Overland Podcast, we share our overnight escape from the Arizona heat as we headed north to beautiful Oak Creek. From staying in a cozy tiny home and enjoying one of our favorite local restaurants at Indian Springs, to wandering the historic streets of Jerome and finishing the trip exploring Prescott's iconic Whiskey Row, this getaway reminded us why it's so important to slow down and reconnect.

We talk about our favorite moments from the trip, the places that keep calling us back, and why simple adventures often become the most meaningful memories.

Whether you're planning your next Arizona road trip or just need a little inspiration to disappear for a weekend, we hope this episode encourages you to hit the road and make time for the people who matter most.
