Yep,, That first big trip with the nervous energy, the excitement of not knowing, the idea of being remote and vehicle dependent is life changing for some of us.
I know it changed my life in a profound way. And after 40+ years of backcountry travel I still get the buzz when planning and then executing a trip to a new place.
Great episode guys.
Great tips guys. Every podcast is a valuable lessons.

Nice to see you both!
Thank you, George.
Great episode! I just got back from my 10th extended weekend trip, but I always find it good to hear the basics from guys that live and breathe overlanding. I got into overlanding in 2018, after I saw a couple of French guys at a Washington State Park (Cape Disappointment) in a highly modified LC with a flatbed camper. From the stickers they were rocking it appeared that they had started in South America and we’re working their way north. I started in my wife’s VW Atlas (not ideal) and have since switched to a ‘94 Toyota Pickup (AWESOME!) (IG: @madeinjapanoverland).
Matt mentioned how much you’re missing when you never get out of the vehicle, and that’s probably my greatest weakness. I will map a bunch of routes in Google Earth and transfer the tracks to my iphone for the trip. It’s WAY too many off-road miles to drive in a single trip! But once the routes are in the phone, I sometimes feel obligated to drive them all. Sure, you can say you drove 200 off-pavement miles in 3 days - but did you actually see anything?! Stopping to get out and enjoy the environment in which you are traveling is some great advice - thank you!
Not sure if you mentioned it in this episode, but don’t forget the shovel. It’s one of the most important, common, and low-tech recovery tools, and it also serves multiple purposes (fire tool, waste mgmt, lamp holder). I personally like to use a good old fashioned long-handled shovel with an ash handle. It’s easier on your back, and it’s fairly easy to either secure to your roof rack or slide along the side of your cargo area.
I just used Google My Maps last week during my 1300 miles trip between AZ and UT!
Right on! Such a great application.
Great info Matt and Scott I’ve camped my whole life and starting to do more vehicle camping 3 years ago.You guys are an inspiration to many including me and have changed my outlook on life. Cheers to you both and check me out on Instagram @suaveb
Thank you for the kind words, Ben. So grateful for the opportunity to help your travels in some small way.
