About
What if the next time you went off-roading, you didn’t have to go home to the city afterwards? On an overlanding trip, you’ll spend days — maybe even weeks — exploring the back roads and backcountry, free from your daily grind. It’s like a road trip, but with more camping.
However, planning an overlanding adventure can be daunting. When you’re off the grid, you rely solely on the gear that you bring. An excursion like this can be expensive and stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.
