I understand your stance but would disagree completely with this. Mostly because I know both the folks behind OJ and the folks at XO. Not sure if you've gotten to know them in person, but their hearts are really for mentoring, helping, assisting, and otherwise supporting those who wish to pursue...
I hear what you are saying (and thank you for your service. I am a 20 year veteran myself)
I think that there is a push to "protect" the term by defining it from "highly respected" entities within the overlanding community. I believe that is the reason that XO came out with this article. Also...
Love this Richard. This is the type of discussion I was hoping this thread would create. The idea of discovery and discomfort are really good descriptors for what I believe has a lot to do with overlanding. I may just steal your words. Love this! ~ Eric
I don't think defining things takes anything away from anyone. It sets a standard. It sets a bar. Something that a lot of people want to do that takes a measure of effort to actually accomplish. I mean I want six pack abs but apparently not more than I want a bacon cheeseburger. Haha. I'm saying...
I hear what you are saying Chris and I'm glad you chimed in. First off welcome to the community. Overland Bound is a great place mostly full of pretty amazing people who can actually hold a conversation.
I don't think that defining the term makes it elitist. I loved how the author made the...
I think the reason we define things is so that they actually have meaning. I appreciate where you are coming from and completely respect your stance. However, I am of the belief that things should have their definition, not for strife and contention, but for practical understanding.
I loved...
People ask me this question all the time. What is overlanding?
I've done my best to answer the question. I've even written my own article. I've taken the time to speak with many folks who have made their own incredible overland journeys to try and understand what it is that we do and how best...
We did it! We made it into Central America. This is a special milestone for us.
And this video is the story of our border crossing into Belize.
Happy to field any questions.

No grocery store, no gas station, but this sleepy little Mexican beach town is still paradise to some.
We drove our Jeep Gladiator down here to El Cuyo, Mexico.
Is this your kind of place? Would you consider this paradise?

If you've been looking for a small portable power station for your overlanding travels, this is a great little unit. I cover the pros and cons in this video and am happy to answer any questions.

Hey Steve, so we keep our camera equipment really small, lightweight, and not too fancy.
We have an iPhone 12Pro with an Osmo Gimbal
We have 2 DJI Osmo Pocket cameras
We have a DJI Drone which we don't use much
That's really about it. Looking forward to your travels coming up soon. Appreciate...
The Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is incredible! We have been here just shy of 2 weeks and have been to cenotes 3 times already! The entrance to each cenote is unique and a bit perilous. The method of getting out to the cenotes themselves is an adventure in and of itself!
This week we share a...
We'll be going live tonight at 7:30PM Central Time to update on our global overland journey and answer questions. We are wrapping up Mexico soon and heading into Central America.
We invite you to join us this evening! ~ Eric + Brittany + Caspian Highland | Hourless Life
In today's video, we cover everything about our clothes for global overlanding and show you how we pack it all into our Jeep Gladiator AND what we do when we need to leave the Jeep for any reason.
Hope you enjoy and find this video helpful. We appreciate you being part of our community as we...
Y'all this is a great article about amazing families doing incredible things in the overlanding space. Hope you enjoy it. ~ Eric

Someday we hope to visit most of what we can in the world. However Canada and the areas north of the USA will be many many years from now if our current plan is executed. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching them and for being part of our online community. The Scrubba is...
Did you know the "Aztec" pyramids of Mexico are not Aztec? We learned that on this trip that we took to see the pyramids among a few other things as our drive around the world continues. Hope you enjoy!
Trying to talk to banks on behalf of a loved one who you take care of their finances from a different country is a trying nightmare.
I'm about to throw my phone at the foot of some horses in the field where I'm overland camping in Mexico so they can trample it.
I knew logistics on this journey...
