- Scott Brady interviews Paul Marsh, legendary vehicle consultant and expedition leader. Paul prepares vehicles for continent-crossing expeditions, and has worked in mechanical support roles for major vintage car rallies, and overland trips like Driven to Extremes. Paul helped us with Expeditions 7 by preparing the VDJ78 for Antarctica. Paul's travels equally impressive, including multiple continental crossings. Our conversation includes Paul's overlanding principles, and the fundamentals of working as a team with your travel companions.

People like Paul, Andrew Pierre and similar others are true inspiration to pursue overland travel.
Great content.
Paul is a treasure of knowlede and wisdom.
Agree. A rare gem in a sea of pretenders.
Success, like survival, is opportunity ( or situations arising) meeting preparedness. You guys have raised a critical point in overland travel. Be prepared, and be knowledgable. This allows for adaptability, further innovation, and enjoyment as well as survival. Being able to survive and thrive is the secret to accomplishment and happiness. This comes from someone who has travelled and worked in remote African locations having to think through situations and make a plan to survive and profit in the process. It never gets old... I can't wait for the next adventure being it an IoT installation in the deep Bush or a pleasure trip. They're all immensely enjoyable out in the remote African bush Compliments fom KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Paul is such an inspiration and a pleasure to listen to. A true professional in every sense. Will this be available as a podcast as well?
You are just killing it with these interviews lately. Great stuff!
Your comment about changing a tire is so basic AND so important. I travel in a now 6+ year old, 65,000 mile Earthcruiser and do a 5 tire rotation every 5000 miles in my driveway at home. Why, I get to practice my skills and test my equipment. To that point my 42mm impact socket cracked when torquing my FUSO lugs (350 ft.lbs.), no problem, a quick trip to replace, if that happened on the trail I would be screwed. I now carry a spare. I am amused by other EC owners who ask me "Why do you do that yourself?" Thank you for the great work Scott, Paul is a treasure!
That was a great conversation. Paul is amazing. I'm a fan of his since I've learned about him at D2E. His wisdom with travel and vehicles is world-class. I really appreciated this podcast. Please invite him again.
Thank you
Paul helped equip our vehicle in 2001 and we credit him for our success in traveling from England to Cape Town.
I had the good fortune of running into Paul in Opuwo Namibia when stopping got fuel and food. We had rented 79 series Land Cruisers he had built for Tech Pro Safari.
Thanks for yet another great interview! I really like the idea of focusing not only on the preparation vehicle but also on the preparation and well-being of the humans in and around it.
Regarding the benefits of slowing down, based on my background in physics, I think they're even greater than you're stating. The kinetic energy of your vehicle is proportional to the *square* of your speed, so if you're going 40% faster, the consequences in case of a crash might be approximately 100% more severe.
Really looking forward to the trials and tribulations of this Africa trip in the Grenadier. Basing my purchase decision on the outcome of the experience! Thanks!
Great interview!
Listening to these legends is so inspiring!
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
