San Francisco Overland Podcast Episode #3 - InstaPrivy

Out on the trail, there’s a moment every overlander knows all too well.

Miles from pavement. No cell service. The sun dropping behind the ridge. And suddenly… you realize comfort matters just as much as capability.

That’s exactly where Episode 3 of the San Francisco Overland Podcast begins.

In this episode, we sit down with Paul from InstaPrivy, the mind behind one of the most talked-about and quietly essential pieces of modern overland gear. What starts as a conversation about privacy and convenience quickly turns into something deeper. This is a story about solving real problems in the outdoors, listening to the community, and building gear that actually improves the experience of being out there.

Paul shares how InstaPrivy was born, the early challenges of bringing an unconventional idea to market, and why practical solutions are often the ones that redefine an entire industry. We talk about real trail use, how overlanders are integrating InstaPrivy into their rigs and trailers, and why comfort, dignity, and thoughtful design deserve a seat at the table alongside suspension, tires, and recovery gear.

This episode is honest, funny, and surprisingly eye-opening. It’s for anyone who’s ever camped off-grid, traveled remote, or realized that the little details are what turn a trip into an adventure you want to repeat.
