I gotta say, sometimes I daydream about my brilliant days snowboarding at Silverstar and Big White!
What a beautiful area you live in.

Great stuff Dan. So happy you’re living the dream far to many have trouble with life inside the wire, then blink & it’s over.
We love travel, 3-4 months, but up to 6. Little planning, day to day. Fellow travelers & locals makeit great even on the bad days.
Never stop.
Mike & Linda
PS: my 1st adventures was as a long haul trucker at age 18 in 1963
Dear Dan,
How are you?
I was wondering how do you make the travelplans in the map ?
It’s beautiful.

Hi Inge,
I had a decal shop make the map itself, which is a big sticker. It’s clear, and I just paint the line on with a paint pen.
Last trip I painted the whole map and the line with just a paint pen. I traced the original map from one I printed onto paper. It also worked really well. See it here – Around Ushuaia.

Hi Dan,
After your African tour we kindly invite you to join us out there on Romania’s trails whenever you want.
Eastern Europe has much to offer and to explore and plenty of remote areas to wander.
We follow closely on our forum your great Jeep adventures!
Be well and we wish you health and a safe trip along your Jeep in Africa.
Regards,

Hi Ionut,
Thank you very much for the warm invite!
My friend from Germany has been to Romania many times and has said many, many times how spectacular it is.
I am 100% certain I will explore Romania one day, I really am looking forward to it!
All the best,
-Dan
Hi Dan,
I have a question about vehicle choice – i’m planning a long round the world trip overland – what would you chose for two people? looks like the jeep would be pretty tight for two. would love your thoughts.
cheers

Hey Don,
There are a million considerations that come into play here, not least of all about personal preference. Think long and hard about if you want interior living space – how long is the trip? How challenging will the weather/bugs/humidity be?
After years on the road, there is only one thing long-term overlanders want – it’s not a bigger bumper, bigger tires or another winch.
It’s interior living space!
Good luck, I’d be interested to hear what you come up with.
-Dan
Dan nice meeting you at wild camp Zambia with our small troop of kids and again in Malawi. Just read your article in our local SA4x4 magazine. Didn’t know you where a travel super star! Stay safe
Thanks Gert, it was great to meet your clan too!
I hope the road has been good to you.

Hello, I publish the site Westafricandocumentary.com which shows short films about West Africa. The purpose is to present an accurate and positive image of West Africa. The site is like an encyclopedia of 23 pages. Can I put one of your videos on the “Home” page? It’s a page with samples of videos, it’s this page:
https://westafricandocumentary.com/country-profile
You can see how it would look. Please do feel free to contact me at any time.

Really enjoyed the article in Overland Journal about your trip through Brazzaville. I live there for two years as a kid. Will there be more articles of your adventures in Overland Journal? Will be on the look out if so.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the comment! Absolutely, I have more articles in the works for Overland Journal. Stay tuned, they are coming!
-Dan
Wow impressive adventurous. I’m married with two adventurous boys. Your YouTube videos are inspirational I wish I could be adventurous like you. Have a couple Jeeps just run my kids to sports and back in them keep up the good work
Hi Scott,
Take plenty of weekend camping trips to get the boys interested!
All the best,

Hey Christi,

Good morning Dan,
It was great talking with you again at the Virginia RTT Rally this past weekend.
I didn’t think about it at the time… But, we should have traded contact info.
Looking forward to the next time we meet.
Safe travels!
Hey Dan, check out these books: “The Day of the Dipsas”, Nailed ‘n Screwed”, Sultans of Samba”.
Thanks David, I’ll check them out!

Hi Dan, my friends and I want to go on a road trip throughout Europe and America. I wanted to know how to modify a Jeep Wrangler or similar model to connect a boat propeller to the battery and attach some floating (I don’t know the word in English) I’ve seen a Jeep with two orange things similar to kayaks, to keep it afloat. My plan is to make a Jeep amphibious, I know it’s possible because I’ve seen two guys do it, I just don’t know how to do it or what materials I need. I’m not sure if you can answer my question, I came to this website because I was searching for an adventurer who’s also an expert on Jeeps.
