Overlanding and Adventure Travel
As overlanding has exploded in popularity over the last decade, the term has become ubiquitous across the outdoor recreation industry, often used by anyone heading to the forest for a weekend of camping. We'll discuss the typical journey many of us take, starting as car campers and progressing to multi-day overlanding trips, and for the fortunate, extended journeys spanning thousands of miles. Before you dive headfirst into your first big trip, whether it's a multi-day or longer excursion, there are a few things to consider. Ben and Brent will share their experiences and tips, covering essential gear, Leave No Trace and TREAD Lightly principles, respecting the land and locals, and how to keep your adventure on track.
