Recommendations for magazines and books

[1DMarkIII]

What are the best print resources for expedition travel?

I am looking for magazines and books about the subject. Forum like this and the www.expeditionportal.com are great, but I would like to spend some time away from the computer too.

So, what are the best mags and books about expedition travel?

Thanks

Great book. About some guys that went around the worlf in the mid-sixties in an FJ40 and a really shitty pop-up trailer.

X3 for Overland Journal - well worth the subscription price, also, Scott, the publisher is a poster on this board if you have a question about something you see in the mag.

Highly recommend Sahara Overland by Chris Scott http://www.sahara-overland.com/

I read that book, it is pretty awesome.

Ya, i ordered that one, along wit hthe DVD's for it.
I also got the "Long Way Down'. England to the southern tip of Africa -- apparently that is somewhat of a "common" trip for British/European folks looking for a decent-length trip.

It is quarterly, and the last one came out at least a month ago. Its a physically high quality as well as a content high quality mag.

Two issues ago, they drove North of the Artic Circle and the tires froze to the ground when they stopped to take a picture Thats tooooo cold for me!!

We had a pretty cold winter this year, but my tires never froze to the ground!
We had to plug the block heaters in for like a month straight though...

Another vote for Overland Journal.....at least I get to travel vicariously...and Sheppard's two books....blast, they're at home or I could tell you the titles. I think they're both out of print though.
