Overland Journal Podcast host Scott and Brian reconnect on the podcast after Brian’s Northwest Passage voyage and Scott finishing a 103,000-word book manuscript, then discuss the overland industry’s continued growth after pandemic-era spikes and subsequent consolidation. They announce a new Expedition Portal YouTube series exploring the Smoky Mountains hosted by Sinway Xavier and presented by Hankook Tires. The episode highlights how Starlink, including the new Starlink Mini and Unique Componentry mounts, has enabled remote work and boosted outdoor travel, while also touching on disconnecting from social media. They review Freedom Recovery Gear’s lightweight Tommy Block and emphasize recovery training. Vehicle talk includes impressions of Toyota’s Land Cruiser 250, the new 4Runner’s positioning, and updates to the latest Tacoma, plus a new Scout Yoho pop-up camper, an EcoFlow 12V AC/heater, and Engel fridge slides. They close with upcoming events, including OMS, SEMA, CES, SHOT Show, and rising overland event counts.
