Michael From OB Answers Every Newbie Overland Question Ever

I sat down with the amazingly knowledgeable founder of Overland Bound, Michael Murguia to cover all the questions I wish I would have asked when I started overlanding. Michael dumped some serious knowledge on me on topics like what to upgrade first, the pros and cons of Rooftop Tents, why real Max Tracks are worth the money and more.
A HUGE thanks to Michael for spending so much time breaking it down for me. Check out his his channel and everything they have going on at OverlandBound.com.

I cannot believe it took this long to find your channel! You video quality is amazing. It is insane that your channel is not larger.

Thanks! Post me on FB and help us grow : )

I have been going off road and overlanding for 20 years now, and while I didn't really expect to learn anything new I enjoy your content so I watched it anyway... and was pleasantly surprised to find that I agreed with pretty much everything Michael said! Kudos. BTW, I moved to the GX460 platform last year (luv it) and installed an Ironman FCP suspension. I imagine you know this already but Ironman has an excellent install video that may be helpful to you.

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

Thanks! I finally got my FCP's installed a few weeks ago and LOVE them. Video on those coming soon.

[@cammybarkley1948]

Great job. It was good to see the family.

[@santicutjapan5119]

Excellent interview. My complement to you on prepared all the right questions. I am looking forward to watch your Ironman 4x4 suspension vid.

Finally opened the boxes yesterday : /

I enjoyed your videos since the very beginning, they are awesome with always great content trough the laughs! Please keep them coming more often, consistency is the key ;)

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

Sorry! got crazy with work and the holidays. Will try to crank out some content quick for you & I really appreciate the long time support!

Great interview! Love seeing my two favorite overland guys working together. Like Laurent, I’ve been a fan from the beginning and I’m wondering what’s on tap for Wasting Time in The Woods for 2022?

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

Thanks, Scott! Michael is fantastic. I've got another interview with him already shot but I think next up might be the lift kit. I'm finally going to have some time to (attempt to) install it next week. I have a funny episode on overland jargon done that I need to shoot and a half written Awning / screen room video. Hopefully I can get 2-3 of those done in the next month or two. I'd love to do more and I'm sorry I left you guys hanging so long. I really appreciate you, Laurent, Gruggs and all my OG viewers. Getting a laugh from you guys makes it worth it : )

@@WastingTimeInTheWoods Looking forward to seeing the jargon video. I just agreed to sponsor all of the Overland Expo events this year in their Moto section. My company is Rider Justice (motorcycle law firm) and we’ll have a big tent in the Moto village giving away great swag and teaching people how to insure their overlanding rigs and gear. We will also be sponsoring all of the Moto dinners. If you end up at any of them stop by and say hello.

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

I’ll definitely be making a weekend out of Expo west next year. Hopefully Ill see you there!
