Who we are
Overland Glovebox Guide
We’re committed to you getting out exploring and conservation. Why? When you get the most out of the Overland Glovebox Guide app, you get great travel stories and we all get more people who care about our planet.
The app’s founder and lead expert is Graham Jackson, founder of Barefoot Productions LLC which includes Overland Glovebox Guide and Overland Passage. Overland Passage is a growing lifestyle brand for overlanders and expeditioners who are serious about travel and remote, wild-place conservation. While it’s always great to gather with like-minded explorers at an event to learn, purchase gear and make new friends, that training and those friends are not always available. When you need to remember your pre-drive checklist or how to winch yourself out of the ditch, Overland Glovebox Guide is there for you.
With the core value of building awareness for and conservation of wild places in mind, Graham has also produced the pilot for an expedition adventure film series currently in negotiation with major distributors, other documentary film projects in the hopper and started an Overland Passage YouTube channel.
