The CAMO Convoy Overland Podcast

Water and Survival on the Trail

Water and Survival on the Trail Water is one of the most overlooked parts of overlanding, camping, and backcountry travel. Everyone remembers tires, winches, lights, recovery gear, and camp setups, but a bad water plan can ruin your trip fast. In this episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, we talk through drinking water, storage, filtration, cooking, cleaning, hygiene, rain, wet gear, kids, pets, and water crossings. From how much water to bring, to why one container is a bad plan, to what happens when a creek crossing gets deeper than expected, this one covers the water problems most people do not think about until they are already in them. We also get into the prepper side of water storage, water bricks, gravity filters, questionable water sources, boiling, keeping gear dry, and why water crossings are not as harmless as they look. Whether you are heading out for a weekend camp trip, a long overland route, or just building a better vehicle setup, water can make or break the trail. Topics covered: Water storage for overlanding How much water to bring Water filtration and purification Cooking and cleaning with limited water Camp hygiene Rain and wet gear Dry bags and contractor bags Kids, pets, and extra water Water crossings and vehicle safety Trail survival basics Welcome to the Camo Convoy Podcast, where we talk all things overland, off road, and the great outdoors. #overlanding #offroad #camping #survival #waterfiltration #trailgear #vehiclebasedadventure #camoconvoy

The Toyota Tacoma is the KING of Midsize Trucks...And its NOT EVEN CLOSE

Last week things got heated when we claimed the 2nd gen Frontier beats the 2nd gen Tacoma. This week Aaron is back and he is not letting that slide. We break down Real world reliability not fanboy myths Power differences and what you actually feel The truth about Toyota longevity vs Nissan durability Titan swaps vs Tacoma long travel setups Diff strength drivetrain design and what actually matters Manual vs automatic transmissions and why autos kill power Aftermarket support and why it matters more than you think What you should buy with ten thousand dollars right now No fluff. No brand loyalty nonsense. Just two guys who have actually used this stuff calling it how it is. Bottom line Both trucks are good. Both have problems. But one might make more sense depending on how you actually use it. ---------------------------------------- Drop a comment Frontier or Tacoma What are you running and why

The Nissan Frontier is Better than The Toyota Tacoma - ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE

In this solo episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, I break down one of the most controversial takes in the overland world: why the D40 Nissan Frontier (2005–2019) might be the smarter, more capable, and way better value than the second gen Tacoma. We’re talking: Real-world power and driving feel (not just spec sheet nonsense) The truth about Tacoma “Toyota tax” vs Frontier pricing Transmission strength and the SMOD issue explained Why Nissan’s terrible marketing buried a great truck Titan swap capability and why it changes everything Simplicity vs modern “features” that nobody asked for Overland culture differences between Tacoma and Frontier owners Plus we get into real ownership, off-road reality in the Northeast, and why most builds are way overkill for what people actually do. Also in this episode: Minimalist overland packing strategy (stop hauling junk) Longest trips and real travel experiences Pathfinder Pro app update and why it’s worth paying attention Upper Peninsula trip prep, expectations, and logistics If you’re a Tacoma owner… you’re probably already typing a comment. Good. Let’s hear it. Drop your take below — Tacoma or Frontier? And why?

We ran the hardest trail in the East!....WAS IT?

Welcome back to the Camo Convoy Podcast — where we talk all things overland, off-road, and the great outdoors. This week, we ran Potts Mountain Jeep Trail — the one everyone calls “The Hardest Trail in the East.” So… is it actually true? We loaded up a group of mild builds (Frontiers, Mountaineer, 35s, mostly stock geometry) and hit the trail with zero prior experience — just reputation and expectations. What we found might surprise you. ---------------------------------------- In this episode: * Full breakdown of Potts Mountain from start to finish * The hardest obstacles (and what they actually require) * What you really need to complete the trail * Why the difficulty might be overhyped * Where the trail shines (and where it doesn’t) * Trail conditions, airing down, and line choice * Real-world performance from non-built rigs And yeah… * A completely unnecessary driveshaft sacrifice ---------------------------------------- If you’ve been thinking about running Potts Mountain — this is the honest version you won’t get from highlight reels.

Long Trips, Dead Radios… Here’s the Fix

Long Trips, Dead Radios… Here’s the Fix There’s a point on every long trip where it happens… The radio goes quiet. Everyone’s tired. Miles left to go. That’s where trips either fall apart—or get way better. In this episode of the CAMO Convoy Podcast, we sit down with the creators of Radio Chatter, a simple idea that completely changes the way groups interact on the trail. No tech talk. No forced conversation. Just real questions that actually get people talking. We break down: * Why “dead air” kills the vibe on long trips * How to keep everyone engaged (even on 10+ hour days) * The story behind Radio Chatter and how it started on real trail rides * Why the best trips aren’t about gear—they’re about people If you’ve ever been on a trip where the radio just… dies… this one hits. ---------------------------------------- Check out Radio Chatter: (Insert link) ---------------------------------------- Listen to the CAMO Convoy Podcast every Monday Overland. Off-road. The great outdoors. No BS.
