I love talking about vehicle selection, but mostly because people rarely, if ever agree, which makes for an interesting debate and we all learn a little more. So given that many overland vehicles are purchased used, I put together my list of the top 10 options. I did not take the list lightly...

Hey all. We are looking for a little help in this section of the forum, and would love to have a long-time member and contributor to the photography section become it's moderator and help with some new projects and editorial we have in process. Not really a paid position, at least initially...

One thing I research and refine more than any other piece of kit is the clothes on my back. Why? You use it every hour of every day and high-quality, well engineered garments can greatly improve comfort and reduce frustration. So I spent a few minutes compiling my typical adventure clothing...

We are a few hours from leaving to Easter Jeep Safari, and will be camping tonight in Valley of the Gods. Tomorrow, we will run Elephant Hill and then be in Moab by the early evening. We are taking two Jeeps north and will be bringing a (very) unique one back. This will be an exciting week...

My Olympus kit had integrated wireless flash control, but now with the Canon bodies (5D MKII and 60D), I need to beef-up our flash systems. What is everyone using for remote (off-center) flash? I cannot bring huge flash kits, so my initial concept is the following- ideas? Canon ST-E2...

Overland Journal and Expeditions West is looking for a fun, clean shop truck. Looking for clean, mostly stock (all stock preferred) 1985 Toyota SR5 4wd with 22RE motor. Long bed preferred. White preferred. A/C preferred. Price offered will be based on condition.

Finding a perfect compromise is much more difficult with a motorcycle than it is with a 4wd. That is just an unfortunate fact. A Rubicon Wrangler can drive 80mph on the highway, be loaded full of gear for a RTW trip and still cross some of the most technical terrain in the country. With a...

Overland Journal and Expeditions West is looking for a part-time designer / graphics designer / image editor. Web design experience would be a bonus. Position may convert to full-time in 2012. Requires experience in Adobe suite and on the Mac platforms. Must live in Prescott or be willing...

Well, after two years of hard use and abuse on the Olympus gear, we are shifting back to Canon. There are a few reasons for this, but primary of which is the shocking and disappointing release of the E5. Their flagship camera came to market at 12 mp and with only 720 HDV. That essentially...

A great article from Scooter Anderson. I first met Scooter at Outdoor Retailer four years ago when we had two KTM950 parked nose to nose (and illegally). Scooter is a genuine adventurer and exceptional rider. Look for more editorial from him soon. So You Want a Lightweight Adventure...

The AZLRO event starts today in Gold Canyon. I am looking forward to getting the tires on the Discovery dirty. Anyone else from ExPo attending?

Image #1: The image lacks boundaries with the dune continuing to rise out of the corner of the frame. Namibia has a strong connection with many travelers and this image reflects an undisturbed place. Image #2: We all want to be in this place, with the cool morning giving way to the...

Thought it would be fun to have a central place people can post videos on ExPo. Vimeo and YouTube work best. Anything vehicle, travel or adventure related is cool. Give feeback and ideas and lets all become a little better at telling a story. I just wrapped this one up, so it might as well...

Video is such a rich medium, but often lacks the sense of immersion and wonder that a still photograph allows. However, this is quickly changing and cameras like the 5D MKII are providing wonderful tools. Post up your videos or links to others that inspire! 18849712 By Patrick Kizny...

Just landed in Reykjavík and am getting settled. Its been less than 24 hours and I am already loving the place. I am staying right downtown and hit the oldest cafe in the city for a little breakfast. Then a trip to Arctic Trucks, where we tested out a Prado on 44s I pick up a special truck...
