Before overlanding was a hashtag, it was a mindset—and Graham Jackson was one of the people who helped define it in the U.S. In this episode, we sit down with Graham to trace the origins of overlanding in North America, from the founding days of Overland Journal to the first Overland Expo. With decades of international experience, including a full traverse of Africa in the early 2000s, Graham brings a unique blend of practical insight and historical context. This conversation is a window into where we’ve come from—and what we might need to remember as the industry moves forward.
