Overland Roundtable - Overland Travel in a Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, Land Rover or on an adventure bike

On this session we bring the boys back together and chat about our experiences camping in the cold. The term "cold" registers in different places for each of us and not just because some are using celsius! We have a fairly lengthy string of tips and some of them provided by our listeners. The list is certainly not all inclusive and we may have gotten some things wrong. Please send in your pro tips and corrections to [email protected].

Another from the shoot with @adventure_overland_australia last weekend. 👌 even a patrol driver gets a tingle in their special place for these things

I’m having hard time holding this in. ❤️ Truthfully, in addition to getting the Red XJ back on the road, I’ve been working on another Passion Project on the side, that I’m over-the-galaxy excited about. ❤️ While it’s currently a secret, I will reveal that it will be a Hand-Picked, 10 Vehicle Historic Expedition to some pretty Epic places that you wouldn’t normally expect to see. More details soon! 😍😃👍🏻
