The people who survived in the Hawaii fires were people who didn’t comply with the road blocks, and hopped the curbs, driving off road around the barricades.

For all the dads out there, your tailgate is your changing table. Paired with Fieldcraft survival pouches a hands reach away for your diapers and wipes. Live your best overland rig life, thanks for the content dawg LYBL

Just had to take a minute and thank you for the videos you do. I am a 52 YO thats been stuck in the city of denver life too long. Started getting out more and because of your videos you helped me decide on a 1st gen sequoia which i was very lucky to find a super clean one owner with a full service history. I have since added the LLOD lift package from 1st gen offroad with wheels and tires, got a sherpa rack and am slowly adding to the build as i find what i need. All of the build though is coming along primarily from your insights and my own fails or wins in my new found love of adventure. Keep up the good and very informative videos. You are helping more than you know to many im sure.

Ok, ok, this was a little funny but I think he's got a point. I don't even have a fully built "overlanding" rig, but I have seen the benefits around town. Watched a guy back into my truck, just ended up dinging the bull bar and I was able to let him walk. Aux lighting has saved me in extreme snow storms where my headlights weren't visible past 50 feet. I typically have the opportunity to yank 2-5 cars per winter out of the snow, and jump start a few more with a jumper pack. Be prepared

I like the idea of being able to help other people out of trouble too. Once I helped someone fix their flat and air it up with my on board air. Felt good to spend 15 minutes of my time to save them an hour for someone to go to them or even a possible tow. They didn't have a spare, so that would have sucked for them. But for me, it was no problem to just patch and air them up. If you don't already, get those tire repair kits, it can really save you from a puncture, and they take up almost no room!

If your girlfriend leaves you, you have a overland vehicle to live in if needed 😂

Ham radio has been by far the best thing I’ve added to my rig. Not only for trail comms, but with the repeaters available in Colorado, it’s great to always have a safety net and get up to date info when the bad stuff goes down. Plus having other modes like APRS to send my location while off grid or even send a check in text is invaluable. Plus when you get to camp you can throw an antenna in a tree and play hf for funsies. Get your General, homie! 🤙

Absolute #1 mod that I use on my rig. Not lift, tires, winch, yankum strap, rock sliders, camp kitchen, water tank, spare fuel, radio to space or med kits. Noooo it is the NOCO GB70 lithium jump pack. Like 500-1, can't even guess how many dead cars at the gridlocked grocery store have been saved with this. I live in a warm climate now but would have saved my butt and several of my buddies when I lived in Colorado on cold nights after work with a dead battery. Refrigerator being #2, medical #3. Lasts for months and months on a charge and you can start multiple vehicles before charging. Great channel, I am a newer subscriber and making my way through your videos. Keep up the good work and never apologize to the haters.

I actually lived through a time where I wish I had a built out truck - I was in that I-95 traffic when it all iced over and we slept in our cars for the night (2022) We were in my wife's kia. Where we stopped north of Richmond, if I had an overland truck, I could have drove over the median to the south bound lanes (wouldve been difficult) and gotten out of there, but wasnt gonna happen in a kia optima. After that experience, always have basic necessities, food, water, blankets, jumper cables in a trunk. no matter what.

I don't own a 4x4 but I want to lift my 2018 Rav4 have a tent on the roof, a tire rack, a small bull bar with lights and bigger tires. It will make me feel happy to make my little car look better 🤘

Currently building my F250 6.7 as my overland. So far I've only upgraded the suspension, wheels and tires, and installed a 56 gallon fuel tank. Still got a long way to go but excited to get it complete.

Here in st louis we had a minor snow storm that shut down i70 for hours. My wife got stuck in it in her edge and wished she brought my lifted mountaineer. The guys with 4x4 all made it to the service road and got home hours sooner.

I think an hour is a good start for a podcast, looking forward to hearing it

Overlanding is a cool way to bridge the gap for people who aren't as passionate about the great outdoors as you. I'd never be able to convince my wife to go on a 10+ mile hike and find a cool place to set up camp, but getting her to tag along for a quick rip of the trail and camp in the truck is ez. I need to look into a gravity shower if I want to start entertaining multi day trips tho 🤔

45 min to an hour is good for a podcast. Also having some medic, firearms, knives, and vehicle maintenance. Maybe you can add some general AG things like gardening/farming and animal care. Hunting and fishing stuff would be cool too!

Dude, you don't have a Sherpa rack... with mountains and trees 🌳 are you even an overlanderrrr?! 😂🎉 have you seen this dude video x Sherpa? Hilarious. Appreciate your rigs. Fun! To each their own. Love adventure and gear. I'll adventure with minimal nothing as well as enjoy so much gearing and feeling cosy. Just like this FRS high country King with king bed waiting for me and fam inckuding pets. Lots of fun. Love your sense of design. ❤🎉😊

appreciate the practicality of an overland vehicle

I'm so impressed how you are not judging someone and appreciate that!!!! ....(Not because I'm a mall crawler)

1hr podcast is the sweet spot if you upload regularly … the “business of KZfaq or being an entrepreneur “ would be a nice topic …

As a person who is currently renting a home is saving up to eventually buy one. I built my Overland an emergency home. I might be overly paranoid, but I am looking at the economic situation in our country and mass job. Layoffs isn’t too far of a reach nowadays. I feel like a good name for your podcast could be the road signs podcast. Maybe because you like Overlanding and just the attribute of your friends, dropping knowledge, signed give you knowledge of what’s coming ahead, I don’t know lol.

Everything listed here is exactly why I am building out my Tacoma

LLOD X SEI podcast Talk about guns and gear. EDC building your brand etc

First time watcher. I appreciate the info. Been thinking about getting into it. Wife has a 5th gen Runner. Though I’m thinking about getting a 4dr Taco short bed as an over lander

Would love a full comms breakdown in your new tundra

Love it! That's a great setup on your taco.

Another great video Mike. Thanks for always sharing your thoughts and opinions so we can be better informed

I like the idea of having a capable vehicle to get you through hell or high water in case of an the event of an emergency whether its a natural disaster or SHTF situation. And if I never need to use them in an emergency event I still use them for camping and escape from the 9-5 grind.

Regarding the podcast: Topics: Camera equipment Photography Videography Creative process Preparedness on a budget Adventure with family I think most people who enjoy your content like the longer format. Guests: Jack Carr

I'm not a dickhead BUT, I could be! Patiently waiting for the time to plow zombies!😂

I don’t know Mike I’ve jumped a lot of curbs in my four-cylinder turbo, charged Renault rally car hatchback. And by the way, that was with low profile tires on 13 inch rims typically anywhere from a 185 to a 215 section with either 50 or 60 aspect ratio.

Every time I have to jump the curb from the Safeway parking lot into the Taco Bell drive through, I am so happy I got 40s.

Zombie invasion happening......Me: hold on I gotta air down real quick

I'm anticipating the "I do live in the mountains of CO LLOD shirt"!

Being that these smaller trucks get the same MPG as the new half tons i opted for a half ton. I know theres perks to both but the daily comfort of a full size has been great. I also like to load capabilities. Societal break down i think youd spend more time moving incapacitated cars with your rig than you would off road. Since the bugging out into the wilderness is only what the dumb dumbs say.

What should everyone eat in their vehicles to be prepared? maybe not necessarily for Overlanding, but just the Daly driver and every day commuter. Appreciate your videos always!

Like the idea of a podcast from you. I think 1 hour is ok, but can go by quick. 2 or 3 hours long is the sweet spot I think.

Thanks for the quality videos man 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Building a 1995 ram single cab short bed 4x4 with camper top . My retirement rig .

I sure was wishing I had a "overland" build yesterday. Went way out east to check out a hunting area and the roads were super muddy. Couldn't go some places in my SHO cuz it was so bad. It would have also been nice to also have a grill and fridge to make lunch with too since we were 3 hours from home. Could have been nice. It'll happen eventually. If someone would come buy my Husqvarna dual sport right now I'd go and pick up a truck to build. Can't find anyone to buy it though.

Well now I gotta go trade in my maxima for a rig 😎😎

Definitely excited for the podcast. Aliens preparedness and all life updates! Anything would be interesting coming from you and talon.

Everyone should have at least one vehicle that can "go anywhere". Even if you don't need it, at least you have it. I get it if you don't have the money for it, but most vehicles are expensive now. Even a stock Tacoma will get you through 99% of problems better than any crossover or sedan. It's not that much more expensive to just get a base model truck for true 4x4 and the ability to upgrade later on.

If you guys can manage a 3 hour podcast without running out of stuff to talk about I think that would be great. That's not to say that every episode has to be 3 hours long. Just continue doing what you do and if that means we get a 3 plus or minus hour episode then I say that's great.

I definitely go on more one day wheeling adventures than “ overland trips” I’m usually gone max a week. I’ve had two different rooftop tents I’m over them 😅 I need my bed of my truck for work. Going for a gazelle ground tent. Truck capability and simple camping set up will get you a long way. 🫡

I always love a good Mike Glover rant. Dude is great.

They all think we're crazy until the zombie apocalypse happens. Then we'll see who's laughing.

Stoked for the podcast! I’d listen to 3 hours if that’s what you record

My neighbors call my 4Runner the Zombie Apocalypse escape vehicle 😂

Hi Mike, I really like your videos. This is a bit off the subject of this video but I’m wondering what you use to keep mice and other destructive critters out of your vehicles. Thanks!

Definitely Mike Glover for sure

Gotta have Mike Glover as the first ever guest, talking about preparedness!

Great truck! Can’t wait for the podcast

Having a pricey rig that’s well equipped is a pain in the ass when you live in or close to the city. You can’t park it or leave it anywhere. Only to and from and quick in and out stops.

9:33 There it is our OG Mike disclaimer 😂

Your shortest video ever! Congrats man! 🎉

“Don’t do that do not do not do that. But you could.”😅😅😅

On the topic of comms, could you do a video on that topic in general: Types of radios, antennas, what licensees you need, which type is best in which cases?

Hells yeah very convincing. Forwarding this to the wifey

The protesters comment was top tier

Considering how crowded the back country has become, I disapprove of this message.

Great video. Great rig BTW!

A taco on 16s can go over a curb. There's a sweetspot where function meets practical.

You can make it through the starbucks drivethru?

Love your channel, can you make a video of your weapons and your technology equipment like drones and stuff. Thanks Mike

Just Subscribed....and looking forward to Podcasts for sure....As for Prepping there is Nothing wrong with preparedness.....the world has and continues to be a MESS....so going forward with that philosophy works with this Cdn thats for sure!!! Cheers, and looking forward to building out a Tacoma or Tundra in retirement!! Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada

thanks for your vids!

Employing any tool that’s outside of its intended use and purpose is foolish and unfulfilling. Maximizing any tools capabilities is wise, efficient, and very fulfilling.

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

Zoolander!!

Well, brother, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face” - Mike Tyson, and every one getting caught with there pants down in the middle of nowhere!

Just rewatched your vehicle wrap video. In it you mentioned you would do a follow up with your experience. Any chance you are planning that?

Do not, Do not do that......But you could.🤣

5:20 Zoolander!!!!😂

I had a question about your Lem’s boots! How’s the shock on your knees when you jump down from the tailgate of your vehicles?

Hey @Last Line Of Defense, Mike, does your truck have some sort of theft defense? A second immobilizer or something like that?

I want to be a guest on the podcast!

Should I overland a 1st gen Honda ridgeline or buy another truck first ?

Is your vehicle protected from an EMP?

Nice Yaesu choice! What antenna did you go with and how did you mount it?

How is dad life? My wife and I are new parents of a 5 month old girl. We are planning our yearly trip to Colorado/Utah/Wyoming in a couple months. I’m so excited to show her the world.

But the only thing stopping me is theft. How are you able to secure all that gear. Some people will look at this and think about how they can score hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of gear. Heck I'm already worried about people stealing my wheels and tires.

Zoolander reference 👀🤣

But you probably don’t have room left to carry the groceries hahahaha

Podcast channel link?

Whats your thoughts on a diesel truck as a overland/prepared daily? Also honestly what does a setup like that cost?

“How will the children learn to read if they can’t even fit into the building” -Zoolander

After an ice storm, we decided all of our vehicles would be 4WD or at least AWD.

What’s your go to lens for a video like this?

Got a Honda crv

"Overlanders" AKA forest ricers

Why would I need to know how my vehicle works when I own a Toyota? It’s never not worked, just starts right up every time

Hey Mike, what jacket do you have on?

My tactical Prius has the advantage in that it is an effective cloaking device as well.

2hr pod is enough

How has the drivetrain held up with all of those mods?

Wouldnt be interested in anything OTHER than prepping the way things are going in the world right now, to be honest...

I thought you lived in MT now.

We need it because housing is so expensive. We’re prepping to become rich hobos

Imagine getting a license to use HAM

Bugging out is farfetched and impracticle. You need to be prepared to " bug in".
