In this week's episode, I’m breaking down The Best Overlanding Gifts of 2025 — from stocking stuffers all the way up to full-on rooftop tents. Whether you’re shopping for an overlander in your life or you are the overlander trying to send “accidental” links to your family… this list has something for every budget and every style of adventure.

I’ve tested a ton of gear this year—everything from compact camp tools to big-ticket upgrades—and I’m sharing the stuff that actually holds up on the trail, at camp, and in real day-to-day use. No gimmicks. No junk. Just solid gear I’d recommend to a friend.

After every overlanding trip, I follow a simple but super effective routine to make sure my rig and gear are ready for the next adventure. In this video, I’m walking you through my exact post-trip maintenance process—what I check, what I clean, what I repair, and how I keep everything organized so I’m never scrambling the night before a trip.

I’ll cover the key things I inspect on my vehicle (tires, suspension, fluids, etc.), plus the often-overlooked gear checks that can save you a ton of hassle—like recharging batteries, drying tents and sleeping systems, cleaning kitchen setups, and making sure your fridge and storage bins are good to go.

This routine has helped me prevent breakdowns, catch small issues before they become expensive problems, and streamline my packing so every trip starts off smoother. Whether you’re a weekend camper or a regular overlander, these simple habits can make a huge difference in your long-term reliability.

If you’ve got your own post-trip checklist or maintenance tips, drop them in the comments—I’m always looking to learn from the community!

In this video, I’m breaking down the mods I’ve made to my 2023 Nissan Frontier for overlanding—and more importantly, why I chose each one. From suspension and armor to lighting, and camping upgrades, I’ll walk you through what’s worked for me, what I might change, and how each mod fits into the way I actually use my truck out on the trail.

Whether you’re just starting to build your own vehicle (Frontier or otherwise) or you’re looking for inspiration for your next upgrade, this video should give you a real-world look at how to build a capable, reliable, and practical overlanding rig without wasting money on the wrong stuff.

We’ve all had those camping trips that didn’t exactly go according to plan — and I’ve definitely had my fair share! In this video, I’m sharing some of my funniest (and most ridiculous) overlanding and camping stories — from gear fails to campsite disasters and everything in between.

Whether you’re new to overlanding or a seasoned camper, you’ll probably relate to at least a few of these moments… or at least laugh at my expense! 😂

Grab a drink, kick back by the fire (or your screen), and let’s swap stories about what not to do when you’re out in the wild.

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 of

If you’ve ever wondered what an Overland Expo is all about—or if you’re planning to attend your first one—this episode is for you. I break down exactly what happens at these events, why they’re so popular, and how you can get the most out of the experience. From classes and vendors to rigs and community, I’ll share my tips for navigating the expo without getting overwhelmed.

But here’s the key: while expos are packed with gear, ideas, and inspiration, they’re not the same thing as actual overlanding. In this episode, I talk about the big differences between walking the rows of rooftop tents and actually putting your rig down a dirt road.

Whether you’re new to overlanding or a seasoned explorer curious about the expo scene, this podcast/video will help you know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to enjoy every minute.

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.

When I hit the trails, I never imagined I’d be facing something far scarier than rough terrain or bad weather. Out of nowhere, a sudden heart blockage stopped me in my tracks and led to open heart surgery. One day I was planning my next overlanding trip… the next, I was fighting just to have the chance to go on another one.

In this video, I open up about the reality of what happened, how quickly life can change, and how close I came to losing the adventures I love—and nearly my life. This isn’t just a story about overlanding; it’s a warning about paying attention to your health, even when you don't think anything can happen to you.

If you’ve ever taken your health for granted or ignored pain or symptoms, I hope my story makes you pause, reflect, and take care of yourself—because you never know when life might throw you a detour you never expected.

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 learned

Whether 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.

I’ve been seeing more and more hate in the overlanding YouTube space lately—people leaving nasty comments, complaining about video topics, or acting like creators are just out to sell stuff. So in this episode, I’m speaking honestly about it and how people are entitled to their opinions, but also that there are a lot of factors that most people don't understand or know about.

If you don’t like a video… skip it. If you don’t vibe with a creator… don’t watch. It’s that simple. I’m sharing some behind-the-scenes insight into what influences the content we make, the balance between passion and sustainability, and how this whole thing really works from the creator’s side.

Honestly, the goal is to have a really honest and fun conversation, not to argue or belittle people. Let’s build a community that supports, encourages, and helps others get outdoors, explore, and learn. If we want overlanding to keep growing in a healthy way, we’ve got to stop tearing each other down.

Thanks for listening—and if you’ve ever left a kind comment or shared a video, just know it means more than you think.
