- In this video I discuss what overlanding means to me, and talk about why we don't really need to get hooked up on the definition. What does overlanding mean to you? Do you agree?

So good man. It never ceases to amaze me how people can bring so much negativity towards others they share a common interest with. Thanks for making these videos
EXACTLY! Not to mention about 90% or more of those Debbie Downers have no content of their own, which leads me to believe they never actually DO anything except bash others.
Yes I agree, I feel the spirit of wandering is what keeps us going. Giving a name is not so important.
Great Video! So true! Just get out there! I heard a great quote that I have reposted several times during all the craziness of 2020, "Everyone needs to just chill out and go camping!" Keep up the good stuff man! Happy Overlanding!
First video I watch from your collection and you got yourself a SUB from South Africa. Great video, great explanation, great attitude and very good videography. Well done!
I know I'm late, but all of this was excellent information. It doesn't take much to "overland", but I hope everyone has a great time!
Came for the argumentative comments about what is overlanding on video about not worrying what is overlanding......left satisfied
I’ve been binging a number of overlanding videos lately and I think you’re doing a great job. The scenery in the American west is very powerful visually and many of your peers make the mistake of putting too much of themselves in the videos. It’s a tough balance to get right. Thank you.
Hilarious, the bumper scrap, lawnmower scene and mic drop were awesome. Great presentation skills.
I’ll admit, “Overland” is probably not what Freys On The Side due, BUT the buzz word is what got us back outdoors and experiencing nature together as a family.
“Overland” makes my google searches more fun than “camping”.
Thank you so much for your candid insight! Great video!
Luke with TOGR says that overlanding is vehicle reliant travel that doesn’t involve staying at a campground. It has nothing to do with 4wd or going to extremes and I have to agree.
I'd have to agree with that. I usually end up at a campground or two along the way for laundry though!
For some reason I had to resub your channel...dang it youtube! 🤔🤷
Any way, great video & well put! At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Just get started, adventure's calling & tomorrow isn't guaranteed 🤙-Josh
Excellent content and topic.
So good and very well said! Appreciate the video! B roll was killer 👍🏻
Well said. I watch a lot of old westerns when I'm not "Overlanding". I guess I'm "Overcouching", but the Wells Fargo Overland Stage Coach is exciting because it offered a way to see the new country and travel in ways not available to most. I think that same excitement comes to many who see this as a "New" get-away term. The term has created a large following and a lot of new business opportunities. I believe the term will continue to evolve and produce a large community of followers. The adventure and excitement of exploring and seeing new places is part of our nature. The term isn't One size Fits All, but for me it's fun to see the new products and innovations coming from the Lifestyle. I enjoy your videos because I too love photography and video production. Yes, editing is time consuming, but looking at your productions makes it worth the effort for those that won't have the freedom and opportunity to do what we do. Keep up the great content!
Well done!! You had me thinking for a moment when you said -22 degrees (Celsius) 😂
Well said man! Keep up the good content.
Nicely done. Like others have said, I love the mic drop (I actually laughed out loud).
bahaha yes me too!
Fantastic video!
Love it ! Thanks.
We just say we are heading out on an adventure. Hopefully, we find something interesting to see and do while we are out. I agree no matter what you call it just get out and enjoy.
The cutaway of the Mazda scraping got me laughing pretty good.
You actually see way more just by backpacking and save thousands. You miss so much while in the vehicle. It really is just for people who do not have the energy to hike. The perfect phrase for overlanding "If it was easy everyone would do it" which is why you see so many people overlanding
good commentary on overlanding
100% true hope whoever searches overlanding find this video. We are brand new to overlanding and we try not to compare ourselves to experienced overlanders(that can be dangerous). To us, overlanding is about the journey and comfortability , over time we can always up the difficulty of our trips. 😄
Well put.
I have been watching your videos for a while now. I live in bowling green KY. I went on a winter camping trip at the first of this year at LBL.. I would like to maybe tag along with some people this year in my 2017 frontier on 33s.
I thought I was overlanding sitting here at home watching Revere Overland.. I have to say in some of those recovery scenes, I was sweating I was so nervous.
Love your videos!!
MOORE in Springfield MO: 7°F on that Saturday. I was there. Interesting show.
That was a cold weekend!
Rob if you don't need to be somewhere it's impossible to get lost, only side tracked. We never go with or camp near other people so know one ever see's what we do or how long were gone, we always called it vacationing but were older and out of the loop. I understand what you're saying about others telling you that they do it better than you and just like running there mouth. We were out one time and ran into some other people and before long they were telling us what and how to do things. I ask them how long they had been out this time and how long were planning on staying. LOL they told me that they had to be back by Monday to go to work. Then they ask us, I told them that we move to a new site every morning and will head home if winter starts to set in, they all looked a bit freaked out being that it was June. Weather you are forced to walk or drive a fancy RV if you're having fun you win.
One of the best videos on UA-cam right now Thank you. The message I got don't care what others think take care of yourself.
Very good, eloquent description of something I was a bit confused about after reading about it online. Thanks! subscribed :)
My wife and I watch all your videos, many several times over. You guys are the best. Thank you for being so inspirational! We are joining your fan club at the start of March.
That is awesome!
Haha , I love getting to remote camping spots, fun is fun! Drop a 2x4 at bottom of your driveway, no more scraping. Cheers!
If the guy across the road doesn't park in front of his house I can usually turn enough that it doesn't scrape, thankfully!
Totally agree. It's so funny to see folks trying so hard to define an activity and if others differ from that which they think it means, they go on the attack mode. Now, on another note, the mic drop is totally warranted but, perhaps, with a more substantial mic... The little dink on the table lacked the oomph the video required. IMO. :)
The more videos of yours that I watch...the more and more that I enjoy your sense of humor that you interject into your videos! (lapel...mic-drop).
Lol, thanks!
Perfect!
Pretty much the best summary of overlanding and how it should be, and the best mic drop I've seen in years!!!
Video really made me smile and remind me to just get out there. Oh definitely made me laugh out loud at the mic drop (I know, I know the new way is just lol or the emoji, but it seems to have more of an impact, at least to me, to say it out loud).
Really enjoy your work/adventures. It is inspirational and plan to start exploring soon. Can't wait.

We have had to stop caring what people think about the term “Overlanding” They often go negative first. Especially in Facebook groups dedicated to it. And agreed we don’t have to suffer to enjoy ourselves. With better equipment and shorter setup times we can enjoy our time more! We love Overlanding!
Do what makes you happy!
@@RevereOverland we often do!
I loved this!!!
The confidence is is intoxicating. Haha. Mic drop.
I feel that Mazda bumper pain in my heart 😮
Good stuff!
where are some of these locations in the video? Are there popular routes we can find online?
This is a great video. I love it. You are spot on.
I have had my Nissan Versa pit in the middle of the Utah desert. Lol. But I live here in the Utah desert. Lmao.
I have a stock rig and 20 year old camping stuff. For the most part I have had amazing experience with others in the outdoor folks.
Thanks again for the video.
Couldn't agree more! Great vid!
Appreciate it!
Bahahaha! "Mazda 6"!! cracked me up!
great video!
You enjoy taking the time to video and it shows. Your videos are great. Thank You!
Are you based in KY?
I am from Fort Knox and looking overlanding buddies.
Of all the channels out there, I find myself watching yours the most. Your attention to story using your ability to capture moments is amazing. I envy those skills as I try to make mine better in my little niche. Tomorrow I'm picking up my first dedicated rig to overlanding. I consider you guys as part of my inspiration in doing so. Cheers!
Awesome! Enjoy the build process and traveling!
Thanks man! You two have a great night!
Great video! I always look forward to seeing your next!
Well said!
Up until a few short years ago, I hadn't even heard the term Overlanding. Here in Australia we just call it touring, or 4wd touring if it involves off road driving.
I'm 80 years and would love to go with you ha ha
Ya hit the nail on the head with this!! Just get out there!!
I came to this video hating the term "overlanding." But you actually made me understand it from a different angle. Thanks for that, and the mic drop was hilarious.
I hate the term "Overlanding". But yes, his video helped me understand it.
can we please overland with the mazda and the lancer soon!!!
Mic drop! Very funny.
Mic drop. 👍
Good on him.
Love the videos really thinking about getting into it
🙏🏼👍
Nice
MIC DROP!! Epic!
We’ve been car camping our whole lives haha.
Turns out you don’t need 500k in goodies to sleep in your car 😂
Lol. True. 500k in goodies might not make it any more fun, but it can make it more comfortable!
@@RevereOverland Definitely would! Just less inspiring to the majority of folks than something attainable I think!
I'd build a custom 500k earth roamer-type thing if I had that laying around and expendable! ha
Overland is just backpacking a through hike from a vehicle.
i have literally seen someone bring a lawnmower out to mow the top of a grassy mountain top to have room for tents and camp.
Lol!!
“I used to take a lot of stufff” ...lawnmower into backseat 😂😂
It’s not real over-landing unless you mined the metal and made your own truck.
Built, not bought! Lol
Mined Not Bought
You mean you don’t take the lawnmower anymore? I guess I’m taking the weed whipper down off the bed rack.
I have the special 'Overland' weed eater now. Twice the price, but it has a built in molle panel!
50% of the sentence, this guy sounds like he's from South Carolina. The other 50% sounds like he's from England, lol. A man of two worlds.
Haha! It should be closer to 35% and 65%! I’ve lived in Kentucky about 35% of my life, having moved from England.
Haha, you're fitting in well then!
Car camping on dirt roads!
Lol!
In Oz it was always called touring or a trip eg 'touring Oz' or 'going on a swagtrip', but more and more of late have started seeing UA-camrs from here calling it overlanding, likely to appeal more to US viewers, who knows. Just get out and do it, whatever you call it! 🙂
Swagtrip! I like it. Swag tents haven't caught on here yet, but I think they would be great for winter camping.
I quit calling it overlanding I started calling it 4x4 based adventure travel
Wow I didn't know there were overlanding elitists....makes me wanna get even further away now. lol.
I love your videos but you are miss using the term, overlanding. Perpetuating an American slang! What you do is "touring" . Overlanders are world travellers. Overlanding happens outside your home country. When you do it inside your country you are touring or nomading. Not overlanding.
This confusion has been caused by Overland Expo's, which were originally supposed to be designated times and locations for world travellers to gather. A coming together of like minds. They have turned into trade shows where companies hawk the most expensive camping equipment by tagging the term overland to it. But like buying Marathon Sneakers, it doesn't make you an Olympic Marathon Gold Medalist.
I enjoy what I'm doing, you enjoy the videos, so it doesn't matter what we call it!
@@RevereOverland well I believe it does! Overlanding used to be an inspirational term, and so far still is everywhere else on earth outside the US. A bucket list type, rare accomplishment. Since then in the US it has turned to a patented and trademarked marketing term, which has become laughable by some. It lumps in tail gating, rural drunks, and roof top bootie calls. A catch all word that includes the very best all the way down to the very worst. As long as you have some fancy orange camping and off road equipment you can be in the American Overlanders club. It is motivating people with little respect, to go act the way they act in the woods or on the trails in the name of overlanding. This evolving "American only" definition is a slippery slope as it is stressing the system in the US, and in the end, "overlanders" will get the blame. We don't want to see trail closures, stricter regulations, but most of all we do not want an anti overlanding law that strictly prohibits this type of travel. Most of all we don't want this blamed on the enlightened, world explorers from whom it draws so much inspiration.
Also if every kid, with an RTT who goes to the woods to make trouble is an overlander, what is the new word we use to describe those intrepid, knowledgeable and honorable world travellers?
