In this episode, I'm talking about Leave No Trace and what you need to know before you go out dispersed camping. I'll work in some real world stories from my experience plus the tenets of Leave No Trace as found in the links below. Hope it's helpful!

In this week's episode, I wanted to talk a bit about buying a used vehicle or possibly a vehicle that doesn't come from the factory all that outfitted for offroading and overlanding versus buying a more purpose built truck with factory warranty that's pretty much ready to go off the dealer's lot. I can feel you already running to the comments so let me say that I understand that even these more top trim vehicles aren't all necessarily "ready to go" with no modifications and that you'll still need to add your camping gear and whatever else you'd like to get out and explore. However, even just 2 or 3 years ago, you basically couldn't get anything that was really built to go overlanding from a manufacturer. Now, you can get things like the Ford Ranger Raptor or the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter or the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison and others that you could throw gear in and go. In this episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk through the pros and cons of each option, when I think each makes sense based on your skills or desire to modify as well as your budget. So, if you're considering switching vehicles or possibly picking up your first vehicle specifically to use for overlanding and camping, hopefully there's some good, thoughtful content in this episode that helps you make a decision that's right for you.

In this week's episode, I'm going to chat through a pretty cool article I found on a website called Offroadium (link to article here: https://offroadium.com/the-popularity-of-overlanding-in-the-usa.html). In the article, they break down numbers from a few sources as far as what Google Trends says about how the term is being searched and what kind of interest people seem to have in it over the last 7 or 8 years. They also talk through regional interest and even seasonal ebbs and flows in interest in overlanding. So, I wanted to talk through this info and share my thoughts on why I think overlanding isn't going away anytime soon and what the data says to support that.
