Overland Journal's 20th Anniversary Content

Overland Journal Podcast host Ashley Giordano interviews automotive journalist and former Overland Journal editor-in-chief Chris Collard (2011–2018) as the publication approaches its 20-year anniversary. Collard discusses recent Sierra Nevada conservation initiatives, trips through Baja and South America, upcoming guided expeditions, and commercial automotive photography. He reflects on managing issue planning and performing data-driven product evaluations—covering coolers, shock absorbers, LED lights, and fire extinguishers—utilizing precise lab testing and field validation, including a transparently resolved ARB prototype failure. Additionally, Collard details international travel challenges, including an emergency appendectomy in Argentina and vehicle logistics in Kenya, emphasizing cross-cultural hospitality and practical safety. He concludes with vehicle insights, personal preferences, and encouragement for aspiring overlanders to begin exploring with existing equipment.
