The All Things Overlanding Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, I'm thinking back through the several rigs I've had and the multiple years of experience I've spent doing overlanding and long camping trips.

What would I have done differently, knowing what I know now? In this episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk through some tips and tricks that I've learned and I'll try to lay out some clear, actionable tips for improving your trips and saving you money.

I made a lot of mistakes over the last few years and they were costly (time and money-wise) so learn from my mistakes to help you be more efficient with your future overlanding build and trips.

I recently returned from the MOORE Expo and I tell you what, it inspired me. The more that I make content, the more I want to continually improve and be more creative. Seeing so many great companies, content creators, and rigs got me excited to really take a long, hard look at the content I'm making and how I want to improve it for you guys.

Hopefully for those of you that have followed along for a while, this is some exciting stuff. I look forward to continuing to up my game to bring you more useful and exciting content!

On this week's episode of the podcast/vlog, I'm talking about the 2022 MOORE Expo. What is it all about? Is it worth attending? What will you, as an attendee, get? What do vendors and manufacturers of Overlanding products get out of a show like this? What do content creators get from making the trip?

This week, I'm asking the question, do you really need a diesel heater for Overlanding? I've been told for the last year or two that I needed one. Especially considering that I camp almost exclusively in the winter. 

I've always fought it for a couple of reasons (skip to the "cons" chapter in the video to hear those). But, I finally broke down and bought one. I'm really loving it, but there are some things you have to think about.

Here are the links I promised in the video:

This week, I'm finally starting to get some ideas about how to set up the bed of my Titan swapped 2008 Nissan Frontier so that I can store and utilize my camp kitchen gear when on a trip. 

I'll walk you through how I'm storing my pots, pans, utensils and more. I'll show you how I'm storing and running my 5 lb propane tank. I'll talk through ideas I have for creating or optimizing prep space in the back of the truck. And I'll show you how I handle trash and give you some ideas for how to do it if you don't have a swing out tire carrier. 

Here are the products I mentioned in the video for quick reference-
