Jason Koertge "swellrunner" is the only overlanding channel I watch regularly.

personally I don't really care for the technical gear side of it all (like what brand gas can you use or how you fit all this stuff on your rig). I'd more into the cinematic drone shots, good 3rd person perspective of people off roading, or people who are just really good at commentating and keeping me interested in what they have to say. You often see this stuff created by true "creators" or video enthusiasts who happen to also like to overland, rather than overland enthusiasts who bought a camera and started recording. (edit: hopefully that doesn't come off as hating on the other group. just basing my opinion off of the small group of overlanding channels i've watched)

Overland Bound, IAMJAKE, Swellrunner, Lifestyle Overland and I just finished the Expedition Overland S. America series. All excellent.

Jason Koertge's (aka SwellRunner) channel is great because he just says what works and what doesn't work for him, makes mistakes and talks about them, etc. Just a normal guy with kids & the family doing his thing.

Jake's is great for a lot of the same qualities, but also has a unique perspective of living out of his YJ full time. Good positive guy living & loving life. Happy freakin Wednesday everybody!

Overland Bound - What can I say? We're all here because of Michael & Corrie right? Good info, like their perspective on Overlanding, OB and all they bring to the table.

Lifestyle Overland - Kevin & his family on adventures with their daughter & their Turtleback trailed. Love their videos too!

Expedition Overland is really great too. There's a ton of work & production value in their channels, and they really to a great job.

In addition to Overland Bound, I'll give another nod to:

Swell Runner (Jason Koertge):
I really enjoy Jason's videos, he seems genuine and honest and allows the viewer to learn along with him. I really liked his Overland Expo episodes.

Expedition Overland:
This channel is TV show quality. Well written and produced. I can't wait to see where they go next season.

Trail Recon:
Like Swell Runner, this guy is very relatable. Lots of good reviews and specific advice mixed with overland trips and rig walk arounds.

I also enjoy these channels:

Life Style Overland:
Down to earth people, started the vlog to catalog their adventures with their daughter. He now works for TurtleBack Trailers.
