  • Simpson Desert in a Jeep Grand Cherokee – Turning 4WDing Into a Career & Finding Real Mates
    May 3 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Lucas from Fulcrum Suspension to chat about how he got into 4WDing, and how that passion eventually turned into a career in the industry.

    We talk through his journey from early trips and learning the ropes, to now working in the 4WD space, what that actually looks like day-to-day, and the reality of turning something you love into your job.

    Lucas also shares what it was like crossing the Simpson Desert in a Jeep Cherokee, the challenges that come with a trip like that, and what you really learn about yourself (and your setup) when you’re that remote.

    We also get into a more real conversation around mateship, the kind of trips he does with his group, why they’re not just about partying, and how important it is to have genuine people around you. We touch on men’s mental health, connection, and why getting away on trips like this can mean a lot more than people realise.

    If you’re into 4WDing, travel, or just figuring out how to build a lifestyle around what you enjoy, this one’s for you.

  • The Unfiltered Reality of Full-Time Travel (Dirty Feet, No Showers & Loneliness)
    Apr 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Full-time travel looks dreamy online… but no one’s posting about the dirty feet, lack of showers, dodgy toilets, or foot fungus.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the not-so-glam side of life on the road - from hygiene struggles to money stress and the reality of feeling lonely while living what’s meant to be the “dream."

  • 4WD Beginner Tips: Everything You Need to Know to Start
    Apr 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This is a real, beginner-friendly guide to 4WDing — no gatekeeping, no overcomplication. Just practical tips to help you feel more confident getting out there. I’m not coming at this as an expert — I’m learning as I go, and sharing what’s actually worked for me out on the tracks.

    I cover the essentials like recovery gear, tyre pressure, and the differences between driving on sand, mud, and corrugations — plus the things no one really talks about, like track etiquette and how to avoid getting yourself into trouble in the first place.

    I also share some of my own experiences, from helping others get unstuck to why I carry a winch I’ve never actually had to use.

    If you’ve been wanting to get into 4WDing but feel overwhelmed, this episode will give you the confidence to start.

    ⏱️ WHAT I COVER:

    4WD beginner tips & mindset
    Basic setup & must-have gear
    Recovery gear explained (simple + practical)
    Tyre pressure basics (and why it matters)
    Sand vs mud vs corrugations
    4WD etiquette & track courtesy
    UHF channels in Australia
    How to avoid getting stuck
    What to do if you do get stuck
