Description

Visit GHToverland.com/podcasts for all our Overland Podcasts with comprehensive notes for each episode.Travis Rabenberg with YetiAmbo first traveled the world on a motorcycle; he then completed a 27,000 mile overland trip from Michigan to Chile. Travis sold his 2001 E350 Sportsmobile before leaving Chile and flew back to Michigan to start his next conversion, a 2008 Duramax 4x4 ambulance. He then converted his ambulance in 90 days for his Alaska trip; included a DRZ 400 dirt bike on the back to enjoy his adventures, knowing he’d finish-up any remaining details along the way. Travis plans to enjoy plenty of kiteboarding, rock climbing, stand up paddle boarding, and spear fishing along the way.There’s a lot to learn from this episode as Travis walks us through his philosophy of preparing and departing for an overland trip. He also provides plenty of tips for the digital nomad working on the road, along with a plethora of added details when building out an overland rig. What details and modifications make a big difference, and why perfecting each detail can hijack your overlanding adventures longer than necessary. As an extra reference, Travis also recommended having Medical Evacuation insurance. Do your own research, however companies like Global Rescue, MedjetAssist and GEOS are well established companies and worth a strong consideration. The company Travis recommends is MedjetAssist, he also carries insurance with his SPOT satellite messenger.
