I have started building my Overland Rig, I got a set of all weather tires and now am starting to acquire gear little by little. Is there a few pieces of gear you can't live without or really would like to have? I am pretty much starting from scratch so any suggestions would be welcome.

Alright, I love to create discussion and as I continue to find gear I like, well, I do the typical "me" thing. Where can I get it cheaper? Than I start to look at other options and wonder am I only looking into things because everyone is so brand heavy? Why pay 100-200 dollars when I find...

Only leaving footprints in the sand has just got a lot easier with the Trasharoo Spare Tyre Trash Bag. It’s the perennial problem when camping; where to put your trash? You don’t want it in the car as your driving and well you just can’t leave it at the campsite. The only option is to take it...

Hey Guys, New member and I have yet to do any serious trips. I have one planned for a month and a half starting mid-July and I know I need gear. I'm going to be camping out of my '16 Subaru Impreza 5-door with a custom-built bed that takes up most trunk space, however I have a roof basket and...

I’m about to take the plunge and prepare for some overland camping. I’m not new to camping but this is the first time I’ve seriously considered going out past the camp grounds and into the “wild”. What I am specifically looking for is everyone’s top 3 mods, must have, most valuable equipment...

Hey Guys, Currently building my 1998 Land Cruiser....and looking for a quality roof rack that won't break the bank. I know racks can be a specific purchase based on personal needs, but if you guys could share which companies you are using or have used that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

This is more warning than review. I have some Westin Platinum Oval side rails on my 2013 Tacoma. Recently I noticed rusty water coming out from the plastic step covers. I decided to check it out and found that the tubes where completely filled with water and rusting insided. I took an impromptu...

A lot of us just carry our smartphones with built-in GPS, and use Gaia or other apps to plot our courses. But I know many of us also use standalone GPS devices. What devices do you use, and what features do you like? I'm thinking this would be a good thing to add to my kit...

Hi Overlanders, I am located in the Seattle, WA area and interested in the following items for my build. 100+ Watt Solar Panel & Controller Dual Battery System (National Luna or something of similar build quality)/ Controller Looking for an automatic System ARB Snorkle System for a 100...

So I'm just curious.... I'm I the only one who thinks that prices of almost anything that says overlanding in it is ASTRONOMICAL!? Thousands of dollars for a tent!? Hundreds for a flat round frying pan!? Now don't get me wrong I completely understand the value of spending a little extra for...

So recently I was gifted a few things. One of which was a Yukon Outfitters Overwatch Tactical Sling, and the other was a really big ammo can. So I'm trying to figure out what to put in them. Any suggestions? I can of course get MOLLE pouches and such to use with this bag as well. Currently I...
