Why Do We Overland?

[Corey]

At work eating breakfast before I start my day doing some channel surfing, and I ran across this one typing in Overlanding.
I think this video about sums it up.
Is the creator of the video a member here?


I have also been watching this guy, his dog, and his FJ Cruisers videos for the past few days, he has a four part series.
I especially thought video four was the best.
Some of those trails in Colorado you barely have room for another rig coming from the opposite direction to get by you.
I wonder too if he is a member here, or on some of the other forums I frequent.

That first video is very inspiring and yes, spot on. :)

I always enjoy seeing food cooking too on campstoves or a fire, as that is a big part of it as well.
No freeze dried stuff, unless you really have too :)
Food always tastes better outdoors on trips.

PS, I got a hold of the guy who made the four videos above.
He has seen some of Michael's videos, but did not know about the forums here.
He does now, maybe he will join.

More dog loving FJ dudes… win win. :)

This is absolutely fantastic..... it's a pitty the UAE is not as well catered for Overlanding as the USA , just purely because it too small and covered in sand majority of the places

I just love the adventure and of course camp fires. Let's be honest a camp fire is Neanderthal mans tv. I can sit and be mesmerised by it for hours. Especially if a couple of beers are involved ;-)

The person that made the first video is named Mark and he is on another forum. Honestly I'm surprised he's not on this one too. He's very knowledgeable and very helpful, I've been following his adventures for years and he is the one that got me interested into overlanding. His Jeep setup seems to be pretty spot on.

For me i see overlanding as the freedom to wonder and explore; to enjoy where you are, hope for where you want to be, and savour the trip in between. Being able to live from your rig allows you be tied to the present rather then a mailing address. To socially disconnect and the reconnect with nature/yourself, or find new friends and share stories around a campfire that's cooking your next meal.

I have watched a lot of his videos, I enjoyed "Mark and Ray's Al-Can Adventure".

Mark's videos are well done and super inspiring. It's the stuff you can show non overlanding friends and family, so they understand a bit better why you spend hours talking about camp gear or all your extra money on your next mod. :)
