In this week's episode, I'm talking through why I think it is often worth it to drive 8+ hours for a weekend Overlanding trip. I get that question quite a bit from folks asking how I can justify driving 6, 8, or more hours away for a trip that often only lasts a couple of day. 

So, I'm going to talk through why I do these long trips, how I make them work and try to maximize the value I get from them, and how I account for and justify the expense.
