On the topic of food while overlanding. Is it really that critical that you have to pull a kitcken with you? What's wrong with MREs or a camping stove? I do understand having a fridge / cooler. Thinking about it I would much rather have a porta potty than a kitchen with sink.

Ever consider just eating MREs?

I love the bottle of wine, as if anyone does gourmet cooking on the road. Why is that a little jet stove or just a fire pit is good enough for regular camping but with overlanding you need a kitchen with a sink and running water? Is it to sell to the wives to allow them to buy into the wildly...

You don't to look at $20k+ wooden capsules with neat little kitchens on the back?

90% of people would agree, apparently, that driving to a RV park to camp over the weekend is "overlanding", not because it is overlanding but because, socially, it's important to be positive and inclusive.

So, let me understand something. Having a lifted, upgraded-suspension 4WD for overlanding by itself doesn't mean you're an overlanding snob, but if say "you're not really capable of overlanding unless you have this" than it is a sign of snobbery? Do these snobs actually exist? Have any of you...

I don't think anyone has anything against car camping. But does "overland" properly fit that activity?

There are some descriptions and posters in here which seem like anyone would safely label as an "overlander". It seems that some of these replies are arguing that overlanding is a state of mind or whatever you interpret it as. This militantly subjective view just seems to me to be a false...

Dallas to Anchorage Alaska is a less-than-3-day trip according to Google Maps. Basically that means there are highways that will take you all the way across the North American continent. I mean IS there such a thing as "overland" travel in the US and Canada? Would I need to go explore deep into...

Wow. The fact that you can off-road just fine in a van that looks like it has some minor suspension and wheel upgrades does put a different light on things. It's just that, why is this forum filled with highly upgraded Jeeps and other common off-roading type vehicles? A serious lift kit +...

Hi, I'm new here but I'm curious about the overlanding I see on many youtube channels. It seems to me that what they're doing is going on flat, very well-worn offroad trails which look like a Corolla could cross them let alone a lifted Jeep. Also I see them crawling along, so I wonder if they...
