🌍 Meet the man who’s driven around the world—literally. Bernard Salzmann may be the most well-traveled person we`ve ever met. Raised overlanding across Africa, he has spent his life exploring the globe by vehicle.
Tour his incredible 4x4 Brimont Brutt Land Roamer—an ex-military truck transformed into a go-anywhere home on wheels that has taken him across continents, through remote landscapes, and deep into adventure.
