Overland Bound

Corrie and I had the opportunity to catch up with friend and Bronco heritage expert Robert Parker to discuss the history of Bronco and the explosive return in 2020. We hope you enjoy!

What is overlanding? Let's cover this topic. Its an important topic. We want to encourage everyone to connect with nature and find their type of adventure!   For more of our founding principles, check out: Founding Principles

We are kind because its the right thing to do. We are also kind because our life might depend on it.

You might think I have this whole packing and overlanding thing figured out - well, sometimes things do not go as planned. It happens to all of us! See you on the trail! Michael /*

What upgrades are required, and what are nice to have for your overland vehicle? What is the required cost versus the "deluxe" cost with optional upgrades? What about repairs? If you add it all up, what has my rig cost over the years on a yearly basis? Tune it! In this podcast I go through the upgrades I've done over the years and what they cost. We also discuss why I think they are required or not! Linked to this article is a spreadsheet with all the details for easy reference. What do you think? Are these items required? No? Let me know! I hope this is useful! If so help us out by becoming a Member! After all, that is a required cost to overland! :) See you on the trail! Michael /* /*

We all need downtime. Adventure is necessary and sometimes we need a reminder! Just three days can make a huge difference.

Member Questions Q&A PLAY BUTTON BELOW! I had the chance to sit down with @Kent R to answer Overland Bound Member questions while helping Clovis Independent 4Wheelers do trail maintenance and cleanup in Sierra National Forest. We touch on many topics including getting started, member communication, training programs, rally point, safety, and some exciting things coming up in the future! It was a lot of fun and we'll be doing this again in the future.   Michael Kent R Overland Bound West Regional Ambassador

Trail Access and Land Use - Join the Conversation As the popularity of overlanding and vehicle dependent exploration has grown, so has the discussion around land use. More and more people are turning to the great outdoors to seek solace and balance from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. With our population growing quickly, proper land use is paramount to healthy and sustainable recreation in our lands and waterways.    We sat down with Todd Ockert (President) and Del Albright (Executive Director) from Blue Ribbon Coalition/Sharetrails.org to discuss land use and land access. Todd Ockurt Blue Ribbon Coalition Sharetrails.org President Del Albright Blue Ribbon Coalition Sharetrails.org Executive Director Listen to the Podcast in its entirety below!

I've Never Seen That Before So uh, ya. One time we were driving through the Mojave Desert and our radiator completely blew up. It was a thing. Here's what happened, what we did, and and what happened after that. We include audio of the explosive event.

Trip Planning Over the years without really thinking about it, we've come up with a method of trip planning we pretty much follow every time. There's a series of questions to ask to help prepare. We created the Trip Planner which is a free download on this site, which steps you through the process, and in this podcast we have some fun while explaining how ans why we use this method. We hope its useful!

A Hard Landing A "hard landing" is when you come in hot, sun down, in the dark, maybe its raining, snowing, cold, and you have to set up camp. In this episode, Corrie and I share the details of one night in Moab, and a mighty hard landing. Cold, Ice, Snow, and a free-slide down a dirt (ice) road.

From the Beginning I've given accounts of how Overland Bound started in snippets on social media and in person, but never in such detail. I get asked all the time how it began and there isn't one good answer. Overland Bound was officially started in 2010, but the beginning started long before then. Many things converged to make Overland Bound a reality. For me, it really was a necessity. In this podcast I discuss the good, the bad, and in the end, the awesome. I hope you enjoy.

We had the awesome opportunity to sit down with @thewildyolo "Yolo" and @thejeepcalledyeti "Yeti" and talk about how they met, what got them into overlanding, and what's next! Their philosophy about life, the lessons learned and how they have created their own path is both genuine and inspiring. Join us for 30 minutes of awesome and get inspired! Thank you Yeti and Yolo for sharing your story! Check them out on Instagram @thewildyolo and @thejeepcalledyeti Online @ http://www.yetibuilt.com  

Season 1 Episode 2 In this episode I discuss Overland Bound's founding principles. When new members join Overland Bound, I ask then to review our founding principles to see if they agree with what we stand for. These principles are posted in the forums and they serve as conduct guidelines. Our community agrees, and we feel its part of the reason Overland Bound is growing so quickly. Take a listen to understand a bit more about what Overland Bound Stands for.
