Overland Journal magazine

[deeker]

Mods,
I didn't know where else to put this, so forgive me if I've selected a poor spot.

Has anyone had a chance to look at this before? I had a chance to look through a few of last year's issues of the Overland Journal magazine this past weekend. What a well-done magazine it is. Very heavy on vehicle-based travel and recreation. It does reviews of trails, gear and equipment, destinations, vehicles, etc.
I plan on ordering this magazine (as well as the Canadian 4WD magazine!) for some entertaining reading (read: dreaming of a trip). Overland Journal is published 5 times a year, and has the types of pictures the British car magazines are known for. You can check out more at:

This is as good a spot for the post as any.

That looks like a cool magazine. I'll have to look into that one as well. Thanks for making us aware of it Derek.

Cool... look at the truck in this pic on the subscription page!

Len, let me know how it is... I got a PDF of their "debut" issue a couple years ago, it looked really interesting!

Will do.
Ordered the whole darn set.
Too bad you don't read anything I lend you.

WTF!!?? You lent me one book, and I read it!!

Well I got my set in today. I ordered the whole thing plus the subscription. And am I disappointed? No way! It's a great magazine, in fact I may cancel my Land Rover magazine subscription based on the quality of this magazine. A quick view through each one and it is well written articles, not biased towards any one vehicle, however there are more FJ's and Land Rovers represented (even a review on a 1997 NAS D90.....karma or what!). As stated by Derek, it is very vehicle based, and that being 4x4 and motorcycles. They have great equipment reviews and I picked up the 2008 equipment guide which has an article on fitting out a Frontier for family expeditions.
Photojournalists will enjoy it as well as each mag has some section on that.
All in all, a very nice magazine. Excellent quality paper (nothing shiney that produces so much glare you can't read it).
Highly recommended.
