    Overlanding in a Hummer H1

    No factory Hummer gets 3 mpg. Even the gas versions are much better than that. I have a Duramax model (H1 Alpha). I get about 12.5 and carry 52.5 gallons with the factory tanks.

    My experience with Overlanding vs Off-Roading: Is the barrier to entry for Overlanding LOWER?

    IMO very few people in the lower 48 are overlanding. Most are taking road trips and camping instead of hoteling. Off-roading is clearly different from both of these. But call it whatever you want if it gets you off the couch and into the outdoors!
