Well, this is the first post on our new website, so welcome! I am writing in the expectation that at some point someone might actually stumble upon this site and stay long enough to find something interesting. We don't really expect many people out there will ever decide to take up the open-top overland lifestyle but even if we only reach a small community then we will consider it worth the effort. So what are we hoping to achieve here?
- First and foremost, pay tribute to the memory of Popski's Private Army, that little-known band of WWII adventurers who accomplished amazing deeds while living and operating out of their stripped-down jeeps.
- Find others who might enjoy an open top adventure or link up with others who may be doing this kind of thing now.
- Offer seats in our vehicles for those who would love to experience this kind of adventure but don't want to build their own open top overland vehicle.
- Promote safe adventure travel through delivering personal travel security training.
- Have fun and document our travels!
So, over the comings weeks, months and years I will be posting articles about our previous trips and upcoming expedition plans, how we modified our vehicles, issues affecting the overland community and anything else that strikes us as interesting.
So, we hope you join us and enjoy what the PPE has to offer!
