RANDOM WAYPOINTS PODCAST EP0608 | ARCHAEOLOGIST BYRON BASS OVERLANDING AFRICA IN THE INEOS GREDADIER

Bryon Bass is the Archaeology Senior Editor for the Overland Journal and Expedition Portal.

After earning a Ph.D. in archaeology, and enduring years in the corporate archaeological and cultural resource management trenches, Bryon started a consulting company.

Work through the decades has led him to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, South Pacific, and the Americas.

In this profession, overland travel frequently presents as a vocational necessity, rather than a purely adventurous pursuit.

Bryon remains an avid photographer, EMT, and a certified public safety off­­–pavement vehicle operations instructor.

Admittedly, certain past endeavors like flying single engine planes or skydiving have become distant memories.

He appreciates driving around the greater Santa Barbara area in a 1978 Toyota BJ40, tinkering on vintage motorcycles, and producing small lots of red wine.

Bass occasionally conducts specialized safety courses for workforce deployed to adverse locations, is on a search and rescue team, and serves in a law enforcement diving unit.
