What does it really mean to overland? For some it’s a Jeep and a rooftop tent, for others it’s a weekend escape, and for many it’s a way to reconnect with freedom, family, and the land itself.
In this episode, former emergency manager and first responder Keenan Campbell shares how he left a high-pressure career and personal hardship behind to rediscover himself through overlanding. From 30 days solo on the road to filming a new Amazon Prime documentary, Keenan has learned that overlanding is less about gear and more about intention.
We cover:
What overlanding really is (and why it’s not just car camping)
How public lands open up millions of acres for exploration
The Jeep community, culture, and why rigs matter
Tips for beginners: apps, maps, and choosing your first campsite
Why less gear and more intention is the key to real adventure
How overlanding changes family dynamics and recharges your spirit
If you’ve ever wanted to leave the city behind, find peace in wide open spaces, or show your kids the value of dirt, stars, and silence, this conversation will inspire you to start your own journey down the overlander’s path.
