Music and Overlanding

I am a music lover, for sure. But, I tend to not listen to much music when I am out on the trails. Maybe I'll put some on in the car if I need to munch some miles but, otherwise, on the actual trail or at camp, I prefer no music.

Mixed feelings. I may put music when I cook but I prefer no music when enjoying nature. Also when driving difficult trails I prefer silence. On the highway, I can’t do without music. I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker and use it also in the car (old car…)
 
Bob Seger. Johnny Cash. Any of the Outlaws, really. Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The Planets. Santana. All the driving songs you can think of like Radar Love and Twilight Zone and many many others.

Add to that some film scores. Because with some of the stunning and striking sights that I've seen, only "L'ecstasy del Oro" will do, and I know I haven't seen everything.

But when I'm camping, I definitely dont like the music loud and late. Just enough to keep a jam going till a reasonable hour

If you're at a campground with others camped nearby... keep your music to yourself! I hate some clod at the next site over deciding everyone in the campground should have to listen to their Death Metal HipHop fusion...

Ditto on film scores. FYI: "l buono, il brutto, il cattivo" has been remastered/reissued. It sounds better than most earlier transfers. Search "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (3-CD)" at Amaz.
 
I tend to have metal/hard rock/punk on when on the highway (loud, to drown out the wind noise of my old boxy rig). On the trail, usually have something more chill and lower volume so I can hear my comms with everyone I'm with. But my rig has a 15-year old deck and two small door speakers up front (the rear speakers work, but are mostly blocked by gear), plus a 1990s bazooka tube...so not exactly the best sound quality lol.

Great suggestions! I’m adding both to my playlists. Bring on more ideas for my long summer trip, it really helps my mind engaged.
Here are some of my favorites:
- Charles Wesley Godwin
- Vincent Neil Emerson
- Whiskey Myers
- John Moreland
- Dalton Mills
- Greensky Bluegrass (their older stuff)
- The White Buffalo (again, older music is best)
- Drayton Farley cinemaapkapp.com.br
- Caamp

Music and overlanding share a natural synergy, turning long journeys into immersive experiences. For overlanders, the open road, rugged landscapes, and moments of solitude are perfectly complemented by a carefully curated soundtrack.

All I want to say is when at camp don't turn your music up so loud I HAVE to listen to it. I go to the hinterlands for peace and quiet.
