  • Choosing the Harder Path: Storytelling, Sacrifice, and the Road Ahead with Harrison Schoen
    Jul 31 2025

    Harrison Schoen (@harrisonschoen) made his name living in a Porsche Cayenne and sharing raw, honest stories from the road. But it was a moment on national television—walking away from a $1,000,000 prize on MrBeast’s Beast Games—that cemented his ethos: some experiences are worth more than money. In this episode, we explore Harrison’s background, why he chooses the harder path, and how storytelling, travel, and self-reliance shape his approach to life. We also discuss his latest project—a Unimog build for a Pan-American journey—and what it means to stay rooted in travel, not trends.

  • What It Really Takes to Build a Factory Overlander — with Dave Harriton
    Jul 17 2025
    Anyone can bolt parts to a truck—but building a factory overlander is something else entirely. In this episode, recorded live at Overland Expo, we sit down with Dave Harriton, founder of AEV (American Expedition Vehicles), to explore what it actually takes to engineer an OEM-validated overland vehicle. From Jeep and Ram to full production lines at GM, Dave shares what goes into building expedition-ready platforms that roll straight off the assembly line—vehicles that have to meet the same durability, safety, and emissions standards as any other factory model. It’s a rare look into the world where overlanding meets automotive engineering at scale—and why most aftermarket builds aren’t playing the same game.

  • Stay on the Road: Why Overland Industry Needs Real Travelers — with Basil Lynch
    Jul 10 2025
    It’s easy to get caught up in the business of overlanding and forget to actually travel. But Basil Lynch never stopped. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Basil’s Garage—an overland outfitter based in San Diego—to talk about why staying on the road matters more than ever. From international travel to local weekend getaways, Basil’s real-world experience continues to shape how he builds vehicles, advises clients, and runs his shop. We dig into his background, his favorite travel moments, and why firsthand experience is still the best way to know what gear works—and what doesn’t. This is a reminder that in an industry built on adventure, the best advice still comes from those who live it.

    Made in the West: American Innovation in Overlanding


    What does overland innovation look like when it’s born in a Montana machine shop instead of an international trade show? In this episode, we sit down with Matt Linder, CEO of Truckhouse, and Graeme MacPherson of Go Fast Campers—two leaders shaping the future of American-made expedition vehicles. From composite monocoques to ultra-light pop-up campers, both are proving that thoughtful design and domestic manufacturing can still punch above their weight. This conversation explores the philosophy behind their products, the value of restraint in design, and why American ingenuity still matters in a space often dominated by imported gear.
