First of all, apologies for the sporadic wind noise. I recorded this on a camping trip and the wind was apparently crazy. It's not too bad except in a couple of places, but it's annoying so sorry about that.

Today, I put together a really short episode as we approach the holidays talking about the value of learning to use the gear you have, versus just constantly buying new gear.

It can be easy to fall into the trap of blaming your gear (or thinking that more, different, or better gear will solve the problem). However, most of the time you don't necessarily need new gear, but just more knowledge. 

While this episode is short, I hope it's helpful and makes you think about your gear vs. knowledge to focus more on learning than purchasing to solve problems, :D. Post up in the comments below if you've got tips that would help people! Thanks for watching!

This week, I wanted to clearly lay out my strategy that I've used for the last few years to stay warm when camping in the winter (the main time I go every year). This strategy doesn't necessitate any expensive portable power generators, dual battery set ups, or diesel/propane heaters. 

So, watch the video for more info! If you've got some tips I missed, post up in the comments below!

I mostly go Overlanding solo, but part of that is that it's really hard to get everything packed up, get them excited, and avoid any pitfalls that may make it a less than amazing trip. 

However, I really enjoy when they come with me and over the last couple of years, I've learned some trick and tips that will help you get your family out and enjoying nature without all the hassles I had to endure. 

Hopefully it's a helpful video! If you've got any suggestions that I missed, please post up in the comments below so everyone can learn together.

I've said many times that it doesn't matter what you drive. If you want to get out and explore, just take what you've got and go. In this episode, since the Frontier is still broken down, I took the wife's stock 2017 Honda Pilot EX-L down to Hoosier National Forest for a quick trip with my son.

I wanted to show that you could get to a lot of great places regardless of what kind of vehicle you drive. While I understand the Pilot isn't built out as an "Overland" vehicle, a lot of people have normal daily drivers. So, you could easily pack your gear in some storage crates and move it in and out of the vehicle and still do some awesome trips. 

Not only did the Pilot do great, but there were also some really nice pro's to this vehicle over my normal, Overlanding build. Check out the podcast for more details and drop your thoughts in the comments below!

This week, I wanted to talk about something that I get a lot of questions about. I also see people post up in Facebook groups and forums asking questions about where to go and how to know if you're in a spot you're allowed to be in. 

So, I'm going to talk through my experience with camping/overlanding in Hoosier National Forest, how to verify whether you're allowed to be in a spot, and what to do if you have a run in with DNR or Forestry folks.

I'd love to hear from you guys about any tips you've got or any questions you have! Post up in the comments below!

On this week's episode, a huge thanks to subscriber mjenner89 for the suggestion to talk about what is being transferred from my previous vehicle (2005 Nissan Xterra SE) to the new one (2008 Nissan Frontier).

I'll talk a bit about what parts are interchangeable between the Xterra and Frontier (which is a lot) but mostly about my modifications and what I built up on the old truck and how it will transition to the new Frontier. 

As promised in the podcast, here are links to the things I mentioned-
