• The TRUTH About Overlanding: More Than Just Expensive Gear

  I hear it all the time—"Overlanding is just an expensive hobby for people who like buying gear."

In this episode, I break down what I think overlanding actually is and why it’s about way more than just fancy equipment and high-priced rigs.Sure, the industry loves to push new products, but at its core, overlanding is about adventure, self-reliance, and the freedom to explore. Whether you're traveling in a decked-out rig or a stock vehicle with just the basics, overlanding is accessible to anyone who wants to get out there and experience the world.What do you think? Do you agree that overlanding is about more than just gear, or do you think the industry has made it too expensive?
