My name is Benji, welcome to nfo podcast.

I am passionate about Overlanding and Human Connection. I know right! They usually don’t mix. I started my overland journey back in 2018 when a couple buddies and myself went wheeling and camping. I was immediately hooked. I started a Facebook group called Budget Overland and that opened the podcast door for me in November 2021. Budget Overland was fun and had its place in that time (for me personally). I have grown and shifted in my journey. I started this Podcast and YouTube channel New Found Overland. My approach to the word overland. If you’ve been in the space at all, you have seen the constant arguing of the word making most avoid the word all together. I was about to do the same, but everything I do is in fact overlanding. So, NEW FOUND OVERLAND was created in April 2024. I hope you don’t take yourself or overlanding for that matter too serious. It’s not rocket science. We love to travel, camp and help protect public lands and trails so that future generations can enjoy. Welcome, I am glad to have you here.New Found Overland: ‘OVERLANDING UNDEFINED’

Jed Smith w/ Backroads of Appalachia | Community Minded. Outdoor Driven. May 30, 2024

Show notes

In this week's episode I sat down with Jedediah Smith from West Virginia. I am from a state that could use some help in the outdoor adventure space so I asked if he would come on the show and he agreed to do so. Jed and his team of Backroad Of Appalachia focuses on communities that could use the extra revenue. By hosting multiple outdoor events that vary from drift car events, motorcycles, rally races and even overlanding routes. They have done an excellent job at doing so responsibly and respectfully. Make sure you checkout their events. Follow and like their pages to show your support. Enjoy.
