Author: James Eling | Amateur Off Roader, unorganised camper and very poor fisherma Language: English Episodes: 63
There’s a certain kind of freedom found down a dirt track, beside a remote campsite, or at the edge of a quiet river. 4x4 Earth-The 4WD, Camping, Fishing and Outdoors podcast. is about finding that freedom, without pretending to be an expert. Hosted by James Eling-a self-described amateur off-roader, unorganised camper, and very poor fisherman-this podcast feels more like a conversation with a mate who’s just as eager to learn as you are. You’ll hear genuine explorations of four-wheel driving, from vehicle mods and recovery techniques to navigating those hidden tracks. The discussion naturally extends to what happens after you’ve stopped the engine: the bush cooking, the often-humorous attempts at fishing, and the simple art of enjoying a place most people never see. It’s a practical guide that prioritises safety and respecting the environment, ensuring the adventures remain sustainable. Tune in for a down-to-earth blend of stories, hard-won tips, and the shared curiosity that turns a trip into a proper expedition. This podcast is for anyone who believes the journey and the destination are equally important.
