This week, I wanted to touch on some very helpful tips if you're in the process or even thinking about building an Overlanding vehicle. I get questions all the time from folks about what gear they should buy or what modifications they should do, so in this video, I'm going to try to pack as much helpful advice in as possible.

If you enjoy the podcast and wouldn't mind leaving a 5 star review on whatever platform you're using, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for listening!

This week, I had a podcast listener reach out with the idea for the topic. He said that he had just returned from a long, dream trip to a destination he had been planning to see for a while. When it was finally over, it was amazing and also sad. 

So, this week, I wanted to talk about the emotions tied to planning, taking, and then returning from an Overlanding trip.

This week, I'm joined by Tony Richardson, the creator of the RUX soft bin/bag. I've historically always run rigid cases like plano crates, plano gun cases, Apache cases from Harbor Freight, Pelican style cases, etc. 

However, there are some downsides to those options so when I saw this RUX bag, I reached out to the company because I had to learn more about it. It fits between a soft duffle bag or back pack and rigid storage cases but has many of the benefits of both without most of the downsides. 

Tony and I talk through the pros and cons of each option this week to help you determine which options make the most sense for your set up!

Alright Nissan people. I can already hear your keyboards clicking as you start to type angry emails to me, but that's ok. Go for it! I'd love to hear what you all think! 

Check out the episode to see why I think it doesn't make much sense to Titan swap a Nissan Frontier or Xterra for Overlanding and let me know your thoughts below! Am I right? Am I wrong? Why?

This week, I got to talk with Michael Linden from Lithium Battery Power about his thoughts on installing a true dual battery system in an Overlanding vehicle versus the simplicity and flexibility of using a portable power bank. 

They both have their pros and cons, so if you're looking to learn which option might be right for your type of Overlanding and your set up, check out the video!

After a ton of questions on the big Overlanding groups and tons more questions in my Newbie Overlanders group on Facebook, I'm noticing a trend. That trend is that lots of folks that are new to the hobby/lifestyle of Overlanding want to know what they need to do/buy to get into Overlanding.

This week, I'm going to break down what you need and what you don't need and some of the things I say may surprise you. Spoiler alert, you don't need to be rich or spend 10's of thousands of dollars to do it.

This week, I'm again joined by Curt Thompson from GTFOverland. We're chatting about when it might make sense to spend more money and buy better quality gear VS when it might make more sense to be cheap. 

Over the years, I've definitely learned that sometimes buying cheap stuff ends up costing you more in the end. However, there are definitely certain things you can save on and certain things you would likely be better off spending a bit more on.

This week, I'm hanging out with Curt Thompson of GTFOverland. He runs an Overlanding shop in SoCal that rents equipment for Overlanding so that people can try stuff out before they buy. So, this was the perfect topic to tackle with him. 

Check out the full episode for our pros and cons of renting VS buying as well as our final thoughts on when it might make sense to rent or when it makes more sense to just buy gear.
