We installed two of the brand new 120w REDARC solar panels on our ALU-CAB Canopy Camper. Because these panels are a relatively new product, we haven't seen really any videos showing the process of installation. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone considering adding REDARC solar to their rig...

A full walk-around tour of our global overlanding vehicle. We waited a year of hard use to provide this tour so that we could share how all of this equipment has held up. Really hope you enjoy this tour. I also talk about the philosophy behind our Jeep Gladiator build for driving all around...

Overlanding advice for those considering doing Latin America. Someone who was considering a journey like the one we are currently on asked me this awhile ago, and I thought my response to them might be helpful to others. Here are some thoughts: Notes: There are various factors that are going...

People ask me this question all the time. What is overlanding? I've done my best to answer the question. I've even written my own article. I've taken the time to speak with many folks who have made their own incredible overland journeys to try and understand what it is that we do and how best...

We're heading to Baja in just a few days. We have a very loose, read: no real itinerary. Last year we did 3 months in the interior of Mexico, but this is our first foray into Baja. We have done some preps for the trip which my wife wrote about in this article: "We're leaving for a two-month...

We just installed a prototype 100W solar panel on our Jeep. It's called the VSS and it is made by a company called Cascadia 4x4 I believe we are one of just a handful of folks who currently are running this unit. They will be commercially available in April from what I understand. This panel...

As I approached my Jeep I was a little pissed, it looked like I had a ticket on the windshield. I'd only been in California a week, and a ticket already? But as I got closer, I was pretty humbled that one of the first folks ever on this platform took the time to leave a note of encouragement. I...

I reached out to @Michael and @Corrie awhile back for some insight. They didn't know I was going to write this article at the time, but I've found such great community here. Y'all are some pretty cool people. As fulltime travelers we've gotten to meet quite a few of you over the years and we...

So this isn't for me, but for a good friend looking to get into the overland lifestyle (and possibly join OB) he's really good people. He reached out to me asking for recommendations on truck campers. I haven't a clue and don't plan to get one. But I know that there's plenty of knowledgeable...
