*UPDATE: The Budget Overland Podcast ended in February 2024. I (Benji) started a new podcast/project called "New Found Overland". 

Welcome to the Budget Overland Podcast! If you like exploring, camping and nature you'll find this podcast interesting, relevant and entertaining! My name is Benji Ward, I created Budget Overland in 2021. What started out as me creating a Facebook page in hope of connecting with other like-minded people, quickly led to having a Podcast, YouTube channel and connecting with a lot of really cool people from the overland community worldwide!  Like most of you, the idea of having to spend a lot of money in order to go camp in the woods wasn't very appealing. With a handful of other hobbies plus having a wife and young son, spending a lot of money upfront just wasn't an option.  There's nothing wrong with big ticket items.  "Buy once, cry once".  Having a better understanding of your needs vs wants can provide a clearer choice when time times to pull the trigger on the more expensive items.  I have low end gear and premium gear.  The more you get out. Camping and long trips, you'll soon know what your "needs" over "wants" will be.   We have real life discussions about overlanding.  Guests range from noobs to pros and all in between!  Hope you enjoy!  -Benji
