Clive Winters

I have spent 17 years camping, exploring, and chasing quiet ground far from paved roads. I measure a good trip by how long my phone stays dark, and I plan routes around the places most people skip. I am a dedicated photographer, so I carry a camera on every outing and document the light I find along the way. When camp is set, I trade the wheel for a rod and fish fresh water lakes and rivers for whatever is biting. I write for 4wdTalk to help you gear up, plan smarter, and reach the same remote country I love.
