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

    The barrier is what you make it IMHO. I prefer "Overloading" and exploring versus "wheeling" and crawling. With that in mind I put a 2" lift on my JKU, KO2's and it gets me everywhere I want to go. Begin with the end in mind, I spent a year figuring out what it was I wanted to do then made...

    Ground, Cot or Air Mattress: Make and model please.

    When I bring my big tent and my cot, it’s the Coleman Comfort folding cot. When we move camp every day I bring my smaller 2 man tent a Coleman single high slim air mattress works well. I do carry two air mattresses in case one pops a leak, but at around $40.00 each not a lot to bring a back...

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    Great article, I chuckled because I’m the guy that in 5 minutes had my tent up, chair out, cold beer in hand. I am concerned that the Overlanding experience is getting too highly marketed and the trails / outdoors getting negatively impacted.

    Who is a Vet, Active or First Responder?

    Completely agree, my brother-in-law did not complete his tour in Vietnam. I was one of about 5 Recruit Applicants in my boot class. Everyone else had been drafted. Our DI’s were always quick to remind us “you’re here because you want to be”.
