The Average Overlanders Podcast

This episode was a long time in the works. We finally get to sit down with Tom @mad_yeti_. Tom is a firearms instructor with Skillset Defense and enjoys teaching others safe practices, how to handle and be proficient with firearms and tactics. He's also a lover of the outdoors and has had some nice vehicles to get him out there including a brand new 2023 Sequoia! We talk about the joys of trying to purchase vehicles, firearms, cameras, and even cooking shows.

Join us for this weeks episode as we recap our time out at King of the Hammers. Rafael @tacotrooper31 who joined us over the weekend stops by to help us describe all the craziness and fun times. We also went live again on Instagram so we fielded some questions and comments from listeners tuning in.

In this weeks episode we decided to test out Instagram Live. Ben and Jared sit down and answer some questions from listeners live. With Ben having just got back from King of the Hammers and them both heading out there again the coming weekend they go over some of the things necessary to help when visiting KOH.

This week we get to know the man responsible for getting Ben into rock crawling and hooked on offroad adventuring. We're joined by Brandon @code_5337. He's been smashing Jeep's sense his Dad taught him to drive! We talk about his builds, time supporting race teams and his current gig with Liqui Moly. He even educates us on the benefits of using premium lubricants.

This episode we catch up with some friends who have been on the podcast before. We're joined by Rafael @tacotrooper31 and Sergio @sergio.p4x. They've both made some changes to their rigs and taken a few trips sense last time they were on. We get into all that as well as what future trips we all have on the horizon.

Hangout with us this week as we are joined by Rob @advrob from Project Heal The Land. Ever wondered how you can give back and help keep the trails and outdoors you love open. Learn more about this charity and how you can get involved with the community. Including getting those who have never experienced the great outdoors the proper education on how to treat and enjoy the land and not squander our precious resource that is consistently being challenged. Rob also fills us in on the actual science of how they go about planting new trees. Not as simple as you'd expect. Plus Rob is not new to the offroad scene. He's had his share of badass Jeeps and you'll probably see him rollin in a nicely setup Sprinter van!

We're kicking the 2023 Season off right! It's the first of the year and we head off with friends in different directions in search of adventure and definitely find some. As usual, not everything goes as planned. Our good friend Adam @the_twig_rig was along for the ride on one of those trips and helps us relive some of the fun. 

This week we are joined by Taylor from Freel Good Performance. We talk suspensions, the lost art of learning a skilled trade, road trips, not so smart decisions and who makes the best burgers. We're all over the place as usual, just hope you enjoy this year end wrap up.

In this weeks episode we sit down with Al @sponsoredbywifey to talk about how he came up with the Wifey Air System from Sponsored By Wifey He is also the proud owner of a Lexus LX450 as well as a new Four Wheel Camper mounted on a 2022 Tundra that he recently had out at SEMA this year. But which would he rather go with if he could only keep one?! The answer might surprise you.

It's the holiday season and Christmas is just around the corner. Still struggling to find that perfect gift? Well our good buddy Neal @nealskis stops by the studio to help give us some ideas. We share what we think would be awesome gifts for your favorite overlander without breaking the bank.
