episode 20 Dying Skills of The Overland Man artwork

20 Dying Skills of The Overland Man

What does it actually mean to be “The Overland Man”? In this episode, we break down 20 old school skills that are slowly dying out, but still matter if you spend time off road, in the woods, around trucks, or just trying to be a capable human being. We’re talking backing up without a camera, reading maps, handling first aid, staying calm when things go bad, knowing when to shut up, carrying heavy stuff, walking long distances, building fires, reading water, solving problems, and being comfortable when life gets uncomfortable. This one is part overland talk, part life skills, part comedy, and part hard truth. Technology is awesome, but it is making a lot of people useless when the screen goes black. Listen in and let us know what skills you think every overland man should still have. Topics include: Backing up on trail Backing up trailers Reading maps and finding north First aid and Stop the Bleed Staying calm in a crisis Knowing when to turn around Reading water crossings Building and maintaining fire Fitness, carrying weight, and walking distance Being uncomfortable without falling apart Learning from failure Problem solving in the woods

episode The Perfect Overland Trip: Michigan's Upper Peninsula artwork

The Perfect Overland Trip: Michigan's Upper Peninsula

We’re back from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and this trip had everything. In this episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, we break down the full Michigan overland trip from the drive up, the first camp at Little Brevort Lake, deep sand roads, traction board redemption, sketchy water crossings, tight trails, killer campsites, CV axle carnage, High Rock Bay, Lake Superior camping, weird rocks, Malort, bugs, bass fishing, and the long ride home. This was one of those trips that reminded us why we do this. Good people, good rigs, rough roads, dumb ideas, useful recovery lessons, and the kind of memories you only get by actually going. Topics include: Michigan Upper Peninsula overlanding Little Brevort Lake meet up Sand roads and logging trails Crisp Point Lighthouse attempt Traction boards actually working V notch recovery Aaron’s blown CV axles Lake Superior camp spots Winch extension and rigging lessons High Rock Bay route Bass fishing and camp cooking The ride home and road trip chaos Go on the trip. You never know when your last one will be. Stay rowdy.

episode Water and Survival on the Trail artwork

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
