Rarely do I feel privileged to just "listen" to an interview… but here I have that feeling. Great dialog Scott. Fun historical perspective with a touch of Tom's honest and almost at times tearful emotion when sharing a story. God bless Tom. I only hope I'm as "with it" like Tom should I make it to age 90. In the Journal, I especially loved following Tom in the Jeep Renegade across the desert and his pre-trip prep of his vehicle. I too am a fan of the Renegade Trailhawk. I've had several in my off-road courses. Thanks again for these podcasts Scott.
Wow. Just looked for his book and cheapest used one was $78. Must mean it is a great book. Thanks for great interview.
I grew up listening to stories of my father crossing the Sahara on a BSA 650 motorbike in the early 70’s. Those stories inspired my life that I live now. Keep inspiring, Gents!
Thanks for the amazing podcast Scott. Tom is indeed a legend.
Incredible discussion between two icons of the global expedition community. Scott and Tom, thanks for sharing this incredible conversation. So much beauty, wisdom, and hard-earned knowledge shared. VDEG and 4×4 Driving are incredible, Quiet for a Tuesday is an amazing piece of work, and now I will have to grab the Nobility of Wilderness too.
Amazing interview of a brilliant pioneer indeed!
I had the honour and good fortune of meeting Tom many years ago (circa 1997-8) when he visited Namibia.
At the time I was a young LR fanatic with a LR workshop maintaining a fleet of Land Rovers across the country on various remote tourist lodges.
Namibian hospitality industry at the time was a fledging affair and support of these vehicles was quite a task…
The meeting with Tom back then was memorable and I treasure the autographed copy of his book "The Land Rover Experience" to this day!
Salute!
PS. Visiting Namibia, he drove the exact blue Land Rover that's on the 'cover' of this podcast!
Truly amazing, what a gem! Thank you for this
Picked “Quiet For A Tuesday” and greatly enjoyed, both words and photography, during the beginning of Covid. Amazing life he has lived and I hope to one day see the artwork of the Al Hoggar.
What an amazing life Tom has experienced glad to see he is looking so well and still as sharp
I have many of his books and would highly recommend his photography books
