You asked. We’re answering.
After completing the West Africa leg of the Milestones Expedition, we realized you had a lot of questions about what it actually takes to execute a journey like this. In Episode 102 of the XOVERLAND Podcast, Clay Croft sits down to pull back the curtain on the gritty, practical realities of our most ambitious trip yet.
How do you safely move a team through Africa? We dive into our pre-trip security training and discuss how we balance camp safety and vehicle security with having authentic cultural experiences.
We also break down the logistics of daily life on the road. From off-grid showers and laundry to managing fuel economy and rig maintenance, this is a look at the daily grind of overlanding. Plus, we discuss the complex global logistics of shipping vehicles across oceans and how our Africa truck builds differ from the Nordic series.
Whether you’re building your own rig or planning your next global overland journey, this episode covers the realities of expedition travel.
