Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady chats with Amanda and Patrick from Rugged Destinations. They share highlights from pre-running the Back 400 and skills course at XOverland Ranch in their newly built Mitsubishi Canter JDM firetruck, their passion for JDM imports, and what inspired their outdoor travel. The couple discusses transitioning from traditional careers—Patrick as a mechanic and Amanda as an IP paralegal—into full-time creators. They detail pivotal journeys to Prudhoe Bay and Baja, as well as the realities of overlanding as a family, including homeschooling, communication, and safety. Finally, they reflect on supporting veteran organizations, sponsoring the Northwest Overland Rally, and their upcoming plans to drive through South America.
