Scott Brady: A Life Built for the Long Road

We didn’t share this story to sell something – we shared it because it matters. Scott Brady is an overlanding legend who’s spent a lifetime exploring the world by vehicle, all seven continents to be exact. When he set out to put together his dream build, he had his choice of any truck and camper combination in the world. He chose Scout. Not for the hype, but for the same reasons we build them: simplicity, reliability, and real-world funciton.

The Setup: Scout Yoho + INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster

For a guy who’s seen every type of terrain and tested dozens of vehicle platforms, Scott’s current setup is refreshingly straightforward: a Scout Yoho Pop-up mounted on the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster.

Why this set-up? Because it works.

The INEOS Grenadier is a no-nonsense, purpose-built 4×4 born for rough country. Paired with the lightweight, modular Yoho, it delivers everything Scott needs and nothing he doesn’t.

He prefers to keep things light, efficient, and below gross vehicle weight – because the more nimble you are, the more places you can go. In his words: “That camper—it spoke to my soul.”

With solar panels on the roof, a functional kitchen counter, and just enough comfort to stay out longer, the setup reflects the Scout ethos: built for those who actually use it.

Who Is Scott Brady? The Man Behind the Miles

Scott isn’t just another traveler – he’s a pioneer in the modern overlanding movement.

He’s the founder of Expedition Portal, the world’s leading online hub for vehicle-based exploration, and Overland Journal, a respected print publication covering everything from gear to global expeditions.

What began as a small website – Expedition Portal – has turned into the backbone of a global community of overlanders. And Scott has lived the lifestyle every step of the way: from Arctic crossings to roll-on-roll-off ships in Africa, to launching vehicles across continents, he’s walked the walk (or driven it).

His insights aren’t theoretical – they’re earned.

Why It Matters

At Scout, we’re proud of what we build. But it’s people like Scott Brady who remind us why we build it.

When someone with Scott’s background chooses to live out of one of our campers – not because he’s paid to, but because it’s the right tool for the job – it tells us we’re on the right path. Simplicity, function, and durability aren’t just selling points. They’re what makes the journey possible.
