In this week's episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about a topic I see a lot. People think they have to "build" their vehicle out completely before they can go on an overlanding trip. Conversely, sometimes people get caught up in the build and then have a really built rig but feel like they can't ever go camping because they're constantly modifying their built rig.

In this episode, I'm going to walk through a newer overlanders journey to build a rig and some real world recommendations for how to approach that build and also get out to camp and explore. Then I'm going to hit on more established builds and how to approach continuing improvements and modifications. Finally, I'll finish the episode by talking through my setup and how I'm prioritizing my build over the next year or so to give you some real world examples of how I'm eating my own cooking, :D.
