On this bonus episode of the Vlog/Podcast, I was recently asked by the gentleman who runs overlandradio.com to start coming on live on Thursday evenings to produce an Overlanding show. So, I'll be talking every Thursday evening at 9PM EST over there about various Overlanding topics. So, feel free to listen on overlandradio.com. Alternatively, I'll also be posting them as bonus episodes on all the major podcast channels!

On today's episode I'm talking a bit about updates on the Coronavirus, covering what got me into Overlanding, and some of the mods I've made to the truck over the years to make it more capable. Enjoy!

Also, I'm going to show you how it'll sit on the roof rack and some challenges I have to overcome there as well.

On this bonus episode of the Vlog/Podcast, I just wanted to say a few things about the COVID-19/Coronavirus thing that is going on. I've been thinking a lot about it (as I'm sure we all have) and as Overlanders, we have some responsibilities. We also have some ways to stay busy and hopeful, so I just wanted to chat through a few of those things because they were on my mind. 

I'm going to walk through some things I'm thankful for, some ideas I've heard or have done to stay busy, as well as some exciting stuff that we have to look forward to!

I'd love to hear from all of you guys in the comments as far as what you're doing to stay busy and keep yourself and your friends and family safe. Also, as mentioned in the video, if anyone is stuck or feels trapped in their house and just wants to chat about Overlanding stuff or if there's anything I can do to help, just hit me up at [email protected], or DM me on my social channels. I'm happy to help in any way I can.

On this episode of the Vlog/Podcast, I'm doing another interview. This time I'm talking to a gentleman named Lee Odom who created the overlandmeetup.com online forum. I've mentioned this forum before because it's a great alternative to some of the other larger forums out there that are so loud and noisy and don't allow you to control your info or to share or learn quite as much as this forum.

He also has a number of projects he's working on including a centralized single website that will feed all your Overlanding needs (https://www.oneoverland.com) as well as a really interesting website where you can rent Overlanding trailers if you don't have the room (or cash) to buy and store your own (https://www.overlandtrailerusa.com).

If you want to hear more about the fascinating story behind this company and how he supports the Overlanding community, check out the video!

On this episode of the Vlog/Podcast, I finally found some time to meet with my buddy Erik (the woodworker) to chat through some ideas for the DIY Roof Top Tent.

On this episode of the Vlog/Podcast, I wanted to touch on something that I've heard from a number of you guys. Most of the larger Overlanding channels that we all know and love are constantly showing us epic trips to foreign countries or down epic challenging trails.

Unfortunately, for most of us, that's not the reality of the bulk of our Overlanding trips. So, on this episode, I wanted to talk about what really happens on a "normal Joe's" Overlanding trip. 

I'll cover things like planning before the trip, what I do on the trip, and what I do in between trips. Let me know if this resonates with you and what an Overlanding trip looks like for you in the comments below!
