From right science truck Abby Land Rover Defender 110 soft top, TBD Ineos Grenadier and Honey Badger Land Rover Defender 110DENVER, CO – July 22, 2025 — From border delays to breakdowns in the backcountry, overland travel is full of challenges—and that’s exactly where the Overland Glovebox Guide (OGG) comes in. Created by renowned overlander Graham Jackson, the new OGG app puts decades of off-road knowledge, recovery techniques, and expedition wisdom right in your pocket.
Available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play, the app provides step-by-step video and written guides, checklists, vehicle logs, and more—all designed for use offline and off-grid.

● What’s the best way to manage water or recover a stuck rig?
● When and how should I air down my tires?
● What are my pre-drive checks before heading off-road?

Journalist Notes
What is Overlanding?
Overlanding is vehicle-dependent travel—on or off-highway—to remote destinations with a focus on self-reliance, independence, and experiencing the journey as much as the destination. For Graham Jackson, overlanding also includes contributing to scientific research and conservation in wild places.
“Many places we explore—especially in North America—are under threat from overuse and mismanagement. Conservation has become my passion,” says Jackson.
How Can Overlanders Support Conservation and Research?
Graham Jackson encourages all overlanders to follow the principles of Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly to minimize their impact on the land. For those seeking a maximize a positive impact on conservation and science, here are a few actionable ideas:
● iNaturalist – Identify flora and fauna around you while contributing to global biodiversity research.

● Dark Sky International – Support efforts to restore natural night skies and reduce light pollution.

● CitizenScience.gov – Collaborate directly with U.S. government scientists to advance research.
