The Overland Podcast

CleanUp and Organization

I love cooking in the outdoors but the cleanup and organization part I struggle with.  It seems like I just can't get this part of my kit down to where I like it, it is easy setup and take down and it makes it all enjoyable.  I am hoping sometime in the near future I will be able to master this part of my setup.

I want to take a minute to thank my sponsors for supporting this podcast.

Compasssion 

At some point in this life, we will struggle. We will lose those around us that we love. We will have heartaches and hurt. We will experience setbacks and set ups. We will be back stabbed and heartbroken, but the one thing we should be able to count on is those around us who have compassion and lift us up. They come to us and show us what a good person really is. They are an example of what people should be. For some it comes easy, for others not so much. But for everyone, it should come. Have compassion. Dig it up no matter how deep it is, how hard packed it is, or how long it takes to find it. It is a good thing. It is the right thing. And it will make you an example to others of what everyone should be for "everyone needs compassion, a love that is never failing…"

Navigation

For years maps were collected from every city, state and Welcome Center all across the United States. If you wanted it all in one book, you purchased the road atlas. You had to have good eyes to locate yourself and plot your way to get where you wanted to go. There were so many highways and side streets. We stacked them up in the study like history books in a library. From there we graduated to a GPS device where we could plug in our destination and it would give us turn-by-turn directions. That was magical. It took away much of the anxiety, saved us a ton of time, and eased our mind that we would actually arrive at our destination by a certain time.  But what about those of us who want to venture off of the paved road?  What is there for us?  Why should we use it?  Let's talk about it.

Join me as I visit with Laud Maroney with OnXOffroad and Matt McClellan from GaiaGPS.  We talk about NAVIGATION in Overlanding and how we can use it to help us in our adventures.  We discuss these two apps, their platforms and also other avenues whereby we can benefit from Navigation using it to plan and during our Adventures.

Bugs Bugs will drive you crazy. That is why they are called that. They bug you. There is nothing worse than something buzzing around your face. It is definitely worse in some places than others, but you can bet that wherever you go, they will be there. You must be prepared as you get out and do your best to enjoy this lifestyle. The less things that bug you, the better time you will have. The better life you will have.

Overlanding 101 - Packing and Organization Round Table Discussion with Ryan from Zarges Cases and Adam from Step22Gear

Ryan and Adam join me along with my old buddy Adam Bryant (known as @_okie_taco_) to talk about packing and organization.  This is one topic that really never gets talked about because it doesn't sound that interesting or appealing.  We delve off into the different problems that we have as Overlanders when it comes to packing and organization and these two guys show and tell how their products can help us in a really big way!

Here is how you can follow and check our their products!

Overlanding 101 - Packing and Organization

One major problem in the Overlanding world is feeling the need to take everything. I have been through it and go through it just about every time we pack to leave out. "I feel like we are forgetting something." "We need this and this and this…" Without fail, what we feel like we "need" is never used, we just haul it around for miles and days. It is a hard thing to learn. What to take and what to leave at home. One thing is for sure, you cannot fit all of your household conveniences in your rig so some things must be culled. Although most of the following topics will be expanded in this series, I will try and break the necessities down for you and give you helpful pointers as to what should stay and what should go.

Spring Break of 2021 we took off to Summersville, WV to spend time with friends and get several lighting upgrades done to the FJ.  Now I am not a wiring guru.  That is not my thing.  I have other things I am good at, but that is definitely not one of them.  Knowingly admitting that, I have good friends who are pros at wiring and installation of electrical items.  The guys at AutoTronix in WV are the guys.  They love to do this kind of work and believe in doing things right the first time.  They installed work lights and all inside and outside bulbs from Diode Dynamics and headlights from Freedom Retrofits.  They did an amazing job and I share with you about our trip and everything that went into making our rig that much better!

Overlanding 101 Tents and Bedding

Join me as Ryan from CB Adventure Supply visit LIVE on Overland Radio about all kinds of tents and bedding for your tents.  If you in the market for a tent listen to Ryan as he gives his life experience and expert advice on what would be best for you to purchase.  Also we talk about the different types of tents, materials and quality that each tent company offers to you.  Bedding is another hot topic as many people spend so much money on a tent but get a low quality mattress (according to them).  Why is this?  Let's talk about it!

You can find Ryan and his team at CB Adventure Supply at the following places.

Tents and Bedding

Choosing the the right tent and bedding for your adventures is a big decision.  Whatever you choose in this category, keep trying until you get it right. It may take one time or it may take years, but your quality of life depends on it. This is not an investment you want to skimp, nor an area you want to cut corners. It truly is quality of life. If you plan to do this for a long time, find something where you can get some rest, sleep comfortably and enjoy your stay. If you cannot sleep, you will constantly want to go home, which is just the opposite of how we actually live. We live for the weekend. We live for the upcoming trip. We live for the getaway. We live for the time when we can get away from life and rest. Make sure your setup allows you to get that needed rest.
