Top Gear, The History Channel, A&E, Ineos, Jeep, Land Rover, Toyota, and others have utilized his driving and expedition skills.  Overland Journal, the premier magazine for overland travel enthusiasts, blends adventure with sustainability. Circulating five times yearly, the publication provides readers with skill instruction, vehicle and gear reviews, route suggestions, backcountry cooking recipes, stories from the road, and more with an emphasis on environmental responsibility. The publication is celebrated for its exquisite photography and in-depth writing. Parent company Overland International, which—in addition to the magazine—produces the Overland Journal Podcast and Expedition Portal forum and YouTube channel, provides instructional content for the world’s largest audience in of vehicle-supported adventure travelers.

“While this is Brady’s first book, I have the distinct feeling that we’ll be getting more of his written overland wisdom and seeing more of his incredible and diverse images in the not-so-distant future.” —Bryon Dorr, editor, GearJunkie
