The All Things Overlanding Podcast Jason Fletcher

In this episode, I'm going to talk through some tips for rookie mistakes (that I've made multiple times) and how to avoid them. So, if you're newer to Overlanding or dispersed camping, there should be some good info here for you. And, if you've been doing it for a while, you may get a chuckle out of my mistakes also.

I'll cover topics like erring on the side of caution when Overlanding (especially when solo), being prepared and bringing enough and the right recovery gear, and the importance of researching and paying attention to trails, signs, and whether you're on a legal trail or not.

So, if you want to learn more, check out the full episode!

In this week's episode, I'm going to talk through a situation I recently found myself in where I got my new truck helplessly stuck. I'll talk through what happened and how it happened, what recovery gear we ended up using to get me out, and what we all learned as a result of getting stuck and having to recover me.

So, if you're skeptical about bringing much recovery gear with you when you go on a trip (even to local, gravel forest service roads) check out the full episode for reasons why it's important.

Embark on a journey with me as I dive into the benefits of overlanding with friends! In this episode of the podcast, I'll explore the numerous benefits of hitting the trails with your squad, from mastering recovery techniques to forging unbreakable bonds in the great outdoors.

Recovery Resilience: Navigating Challenges Together

One benefit of Overlanding and camping with friends is that you'll have backup in case you get stuck or need a recovery.

Camaraderie Chronicles: Building Lifelong Connections

And while you're out there exploring, you'll be creating memories and stories that you can tell around the campfire for years to come. Another benefit of overlanding with your buddies is that you can all laugh about the dumb stuff we do sometimes or smile about the cool things we find.

Spotting Success: Navigating Trails with Precision

Don't forget about the importance of avoiding the need for recovery. With the help of buddies, they can often spot you through difficult parts of the trail so that you can avoid body damage or getting stuck in the first place.

Whether you're a seasoned overlander or a curious enthusiast, this video/podcast should give you some helpful reasons why you should hit the trails with your friends.
