![Don't go "OVERLANDING" without THIS... [Getting Started 101]](/img/n.gif)
1) Buy rooftop basket on amazon .
2) Super glue it to roof.
3) Go get stuck
yes
I love "overlanding" vehicles. In Colorado we use them to go to the store. One time my neighbor put his 4runner into 4 wheel drive, it was crazy!
But did he post it to Instagram?
You aren’t hanging out with the right people in Colorado💀
Works the same in other states, too.
The “Jeep Crawlers” here in Southern Nevada, hit beyond the shoulder of a highway and jizz themselves.
@@RevereOverland 😂😂
“The best vehicle for over landing is the one you’ve already got” aight boutta go overlanding in Dodge Viper ACR.
If you can afford a Viper, you can afford a dedicated trail vehicle!
You can get a viper for $30k :o
Anthony Burke not an ACR💀
Weird flex but okay
better yet: camping from a motorcycle
3yrs later this is still relevant information.
I have an 86 Bronco. Has a 4” lift with 33” Mud Terrains. Lockers front and rear. The vehicles basically unstoppable for any over landing that anyone would want to do.
As far as camping. Just the basics. You need food storage, a propane grill, definitely a toilet (you’ll greatly appreciate the purchase). You can get a tent, or sleep in your vehicle.
That white Honda CRV- “I want to make my CRV into an overlander what do I need to do?”
Puts basket on top- “Done, let’s hit the trails!” 😂
LOL!
Hopefully more CRV video actions
Lol go check crvadventure channel
... and at the end, he will be able to do 99% of the trails these folks with fancy Wrangles on 40inch wheels typically go.
@@Away907 probably so. I was watching a Tacoma channel where they had their trucks all rigged out to the max and they got on this “trail” and aired their tires down. Turns out it was just a hard packed dirt road the whole time. So they just ended up wasting a lot of gas from the extra drag on the aired down tires.
When it comes to navigation, ALWAYS CARRY PAPER MAPS!
Okay dad
And a compass!
@@atl3630 That's right boy, listen to your elders!
the first sentence is exactly what i thought when getting in to over-landing ....
I personally think that being in a group of likeminded people would make the adventure more enjoyable as well as more entertaining. My thoughts have a great day and a better tomorrow
A group can make things more enjoyable but for me, I like doing solo trips. I like being able to do my own thing in my own time without having to worry about anybody else.
I got started overlanding on motorcycle. My tent, sleeping bag, thermarest, stove, spare clothes etc. weigh 22lbs. My tools, compressor and spare parts are another 10lbs. This video was interesting.
Im glad you showed the crv. My urban-lander rig is a 99 crv awd. Lifted 2in back/1 in front. Total height is 33in. Sitting on 215/ 75r15 GG AT. Truhart suspension all around. Stock coilovers, although i should get some new ones. light pods. In the process of building the sleep platform for inside as well as shelves. I had the front seat out but the fur-missile was mad. So I put it back in so she can sit up front with me. Yall do test runs to see what you do or dont need. It is a lot of work but well worth it. God speed
Finally an unpretentious intro....great vid, great info! Thanks, just getting into all this
I have a $30 2 person Walmart tent. Been using it for three months straight and it’s actually great.
As soon as I saw the first gen CRV, I knew this was a great video
This video was detailed in all the right ways and extremely helpful, thanks for taking the time to make it!
I've seen a bunch of videos like this and by FAR this is the best and most honest one I have seen!
Hopefully it helps!
I know it's not this video but silvers front bumper looks awsome 👌
Nicely done video. Straight forward discussion on a topic a lot of people are getting too carried away with.
What I've learned from watching many overland videos on UA-cam: First purchases should be a suspension lift and bigger tires. That way, when you air down your tires for the trail, you can be at the stock vehicle height you had before the lift and bigger tires.
Watching this video makes me confident in the parts I want to buy or have bought in my truck. Your video has reassured me my mind's in the right place as an up-coming overlander. Great vid and thank you for these ideas!
Of course the best vehicle to Ovetland is the one you currently have. Put on some decent off-road tires buy or borrow some camping gear. Get a 30 foot good quality tow strap and shackles and get out there. We did quite a bit of Overlanding in our 2wd Hybrid Escape. 265/70/17 A/T's did help a lot. Now we have a much more capable 4Runner. Need to get back out...
This is the stuff I always take on a trip. Gas stove. Storage bin for camping gear. Plate, Cup, knife fork & spoon, a saucepan, a large soup mug i can use as a bowl, A folding self contained camp cot/tent. 4x3m tarp. About 150m of paracord in various lengths. Some bungie cords. 44L ice box. USB powered lights. Probably more USB battery banks than is healthy or normal. A molle seat back organiser with some pouches I put on it that holds things like torches, chargers, spare batteries, shackles, work gloves, fire lighter, a life straw etc. 10 ton traction boards. 12v compressor. (brought an aftermarket inflator with a good gauge, braided hose, fittings and some silicone tape to make sure everything is airtight and made my own inflation hose,) There are also a first aid kit, some basic hand tools, tie wire, zip ties, soap, wet wipes, a tow strap and a hand ax that are always in the back of my car for emergencies. This list of things I've brought and only used once or had break on me is a whole lot longer, but that's my basic kit. I will add cameras, fishing gear, gimbals, tripods, track sliders, camera jibs, or more camping comforts as dictated by the nature and duration of the trip. And to be honest I've been loving it since I was road tripping and overlanding with a dome tent, a gas stove and a head torch.
edit: my camp bed/tent is this. Sets up in under two minutes and sits up off the ground which is handy in both wet or cold conditions. imgur.com/a/Er4b7uO
The Coleman Sundome tent is by far the best/most affordable beginner tent that will sort you out through the elements and hold up for a long time. The tarp bottom is simply the best for anything you might come across.
Good to see someone give some proper common sense advice rather than trying to sell a bunch of sponsor products. Excellent.
No joke on the zip ties. I fixed a heater hose that blew off my brothers car in a parking lot with one zip tie.
Tip for anyone who want something super versatile for cooking: look into an instant pot. They super great in anyone category, but they have tons of functions for cooking.
I just got a Jeep Liberty in very good condition. I’m planning to level it out on a 3.5” lift, and cosmetically spruce it up with some tires and wheels and some bumpers. However, I’m wanting to get into over landing, or at least going camping and what not with the Jeep and this video came in handy !
Thank you for sharing. I just started getting into overlanding and was not sure what I needed. After watching the video, I knew what I would need for my first overlanding.
Dude, I’m not joking, you said that to start and my phone immediately turned vertical again to close the vid. Nice quick edit to keep me here and glad I did 😂
Thanks for this video. Planning to build my 4runner someday.
The first thing to go Overlanding is a 4*4 and some extra money
I have a 02 chevy cavalier, and I have taken it off road for airsoft games and "he" handles fairly well. :) So I think he's a good starting point :)
How do you have an English, Australian and American accent all at once
Lol! I grew up in England, but moved to America 10 years ago. Never been to Australia though!
@@RevereOverland Nice, I'm English - Canadian. What was your first vehicle that was unreliable? I just picked up an 06' LR3
james Should of got a Toyota.
Jay Moar Boring
@@user-fz3sz2dj4r I had a bunch of Land Rover, the discovery 3 or LR3 was by far the most reliable and capable.
This was an incredibly informative video! Great Job!!
Thanks for watching!
Bias, lol.
chris currans I don’t know, it’s pretty hard to get me to compliment revere, lol
I have no experience overlanding YET. but one thing I like to keep in my car that wasn't mentioned here is a portable jump start power bank.
I like the conversation, very informative, and the flashbacks to the rescues at those various spots.
Small sedan + dome tent + esky... Add 1800km (maybe more) round trip.. That was the start of our adventures. Loved it and couldn't stop. Like you said though, if you're completely new to camping altogether maybe do a weekender trip first. Seems to be 'overlanding' to some, 'touring' to others (here in Aust, also called 'doing the big lap') or just a 'swag trip' (what we normally do). We have since tweaked our setup to be very practical but comfortable anywhere we end up (solar power 🙌). Thanks for the vid. Simple & straightforward info/advice, although you had us going at the start!?! 😳😂
.
esky = cooler
Straight & to the point! Nice Job!
Glad you liked it!
This hits home on the basics really well, thanks for sharing this :)
Thanks! Happy it helped!
The nissan xterra is a good option. Excellent offroad and completely capable. Also fairly reliable especially the 1st gens with the 3.3l v6. Can be had for cheaper than Toyotas and Jeeps.
"The best vehicle for overlanding is the one you've already got." A crappy FWD station wagon with 75hp and beat-up suspension.
I bet you could have a lot of fun with something you don’t owe $50k on!
My buddy had an open diff early 2000's Nissan Sentra with home made skid, adjusted out coil overs for lift and snow tires. He took that beast through some knarly stuff. So light, just the two of us could rock, or push it off high centers, and winch it with a come along, hahaha. Ah, those were the days...
Try a lowered, turbo, front wheel drive mazda speed3. Lol I'm torn between selling my baby for something for overlanding.
Kia Soul checking in. All I need is a sweet ass bumper to make it look cool.
Pontiac G6 with a replaced engine, and yearly fixed muffler
Excellent video for the newbies. I've been using my 96 4Runner for years and it's been perfect! If you do go alone you want to make sure you are going to be within area where a tow truck can come get you. I've never had this problem fortunately but it's always something in the back of my mind. I usually go with friends and we have 4 4x4 vehicles so the sky has been the limit. GPS wise we plan using LeadNav on the iPad and I highly suggest having one of those super cooler like a YETI or RITC. No power needed, will keep things cool easily over a whole weekend. Those coolers don't perform as well as advertised when it's sloshing around on the trail.
I've watched a lot of videos on this same topic and yours was the most useful, especially with all the links you provided. Thank you!!
"The best vehicle for overlanding is the one you have"
My rice rocket Honda civic, QQ
I use a 06 Subaru Forester and it does very well. I go at least once a month.
Is it manual or cvt ? I dont like cvt
Its not a new subaru so it doesn't have a cvt. Just. A 4EAT
I've got a good tent that ive had for years my dad originally brought it as im 19 now. Had since like 15. It was less then $100 its a 4 person tent with fly screen, awning and good ventilation i tend to find a 4person tent is only good for 2 living being. Whether that be 2 people or a person and a dog
Thanks for the tips! I plan to do more longterm overlanding this summer, and will be making some vids of my weekend adventures for now.
Great summary. Good job making overlanding simple and attainable!
I took my 1994 Ford Explorer over landing. Let me tell you something right now, there is NO better vehicle on this earth than the 94 Explorer. Before everyone starts thinking I’m joking I’m not joking one little bit. I passed everyone else on the trails as fast as I could, I got flipped off at least 12 times in one day. I got da Mickey Thompson tires and da broke door that don’t even work but it doesn’t matter cuz da ENGINE is literally perfection. I don’t bother with stupid recover bull crap because I never get stuck because I actually know how to drive even tho I failed my learners test about 13 times. I carry one first aid kit and it’s called a bottle of whiskey, a can of snuff and cigs.
On the safety side, I would add a two way satellite communicator, such as a Garmin Delorme, especially if you travel alone. If you have no cell service and need to call emergency services it could be a life saver. I’ve used mine once before to call on a newly started forest fire.
I absolutely agree on getting one eventually, but I don't think it's for someone starting out. I personally have the Spot messenger, and use it regularly. It has paid for itself once due to poor planning on my part. In Maine last summer we weren't sure if there was a gas station on our route, and would have had to backtrack hundreds of miles if we hadn't confirmed it.
I don't do a lot of over landing, but I have my own adventures in the outdoors and my own channel and I have to say this is by far the most well structured, informative video on this subject, just subbed!
Nice reviews!
I don't know what triggers it but be prepared in your mind that your fire extinguisher will eventually give up and spray the inside of wherever it is automobile or you're home. If it is the 100% powder type a vacuum cleaner I guess is mandatory but it does take your back when you look in a room filled within maximum mass.
LOVE your video! I plan to buy another Subaru Forester “mine died a honorable death.” and go from there most of the time I’ll be alone other then the dogs so I won’t need to much room. Thanks for the tips on the honesty that was enough to make me subscribe to your channel.
Very informative. Anyone starting out should know it will be a work in progress kind of thing and a lot of learning on the way. There's probably not a more fun, exciting way to learn than just getting out. Your tips of starting out with someone that has done it before is a great one not only for the actual experience but really to save a lot of $$ by not buying useless things. When it comes to buying equipment sometimes paying more once is better than buying cheaper 3 or 4 times also. The best way to overland is just save $$ for gas...that's all you need. ;-)
Starting simple is really the way to do it. The buy once, cry once motto is a tough one though - sometimes it's good to start out cheap, and sometimes it's a waste of time and money. I started with a $15 Walmart tent before buying a RTT, and don't regret it at all. I've also spent $100 on a tablet for Gaia, which I had to replace a few months later since it couldn't handle all my routes!
@@RevereOverland for sure. That's where research and channels like your really helps.
start off easy and just get up and go then after you figure out what you like upgrade. Then get into harder stuff.
Love the first gen CRV video! That's what I've got!
Awesome! They really throw that thing around, and did everything the Land Cruisers and Jeeps were doing.
I'd agree I have a fairly decent starter vehicle, a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited V8. However, it currently needs bodywork, oil pan replacement, and some other issues. WJs are better overland vehicles than their modern GC counterparts in my opinion.
That said I'm buying a 4Runner to replace it in the next year or so. I'd say the repairs on the 2003 haven't been insane. I owned a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT as my second vehicle in college. That thing had its cooling system blowout among other issues. The 2003 has survived being side-swiped by a box van. Came within a few hundred dollars of being totaled, but sustained no frame damage. Just had to replace doors and some panels. I don't trust the 2003 overlanding. 152k miles and hopefully only do about 5000 more before the new vehicle. Just have to pay off a credit card and save up $10,000-$15,000.
This is solid information! Long-time camper\off-roadee\overlander here! 👍👍😎 ~Maverick
👍 for knowing how to use your gear.
Great video man great information I got a 2012 Jeep liberty can't wait to hit some trails
With tires, your by and large correct. But, I found out the hard way that mud terrains really don't like ice. So if you know your going to have to deal with ice, steer clear of them.
And that’s exactly what I’m doing with my Honda CR-V
I have the 2017 awd CR-V. I know it's not the best choice, but I don't plan on doing crazy serious overlanding. I also wish there were more videos on the current generation of CR-V.
babyjuice82 sounds like a good choice I mostly doing mountain trails and camping so nothing to crazy btw my crv is a 99 5speed
Great video! Looking into overlanding and this helps a lot!
“The best vehicle is the one you’ve already got!” I camp with a group where they will have the biggest, greatest toy they can get their hands on, but at the end of the day, we all did well and enjoyed the trip… the difference is that I go back home debt free and happy while they go home miserable thinking about years of repayments ahead of them.
Excellent video. I've been binge watching your channel tonight. (New Sub by the way). Thanks.
The first thing you need for overland is your ATV i recommend a Can Am 1000 limited Outlander. You need a truck to carry it or course.
I use the Masterflow MF 1050. Inexpensive but works just as well as the overpriced compressors. Amazon had them for $70 a while back but the last I checked, they were gone. I bought mine for $90 at Pepboys but they're cheaper now.
Awesome advice! I am a newbie, so I can't tell you how helpful this was! Thank you
Another way to air down your tires is using the button on your dash labeled "Deflate".
Go check out my rig & see if you can work out why it has made this tyre fitter laugh like a drain 😂😉
1. Buy a vehicle big enough to sleep in. 2. Drive into the country. 3. Sleep in/on/near the vehicle.
Excellent, practical advice. 👏
In place of a proper winch and mounting solution whether that be a bumper or winch plate you can spend around $100 on a "cable puller" or hand winch. Harbor freight has an 8k lb winch and combined with couple tow straps of varying length NOT recovery straps (tow straps do not stretch), a few d rings and some elbow grease will get you out of most situations. I have seen good deals at tractor supply for shackles (d-rings), remember if your rig weighs 4k go overkill and get 8k shackles or more. These are the last thing you want to break. This goes for all recovery gear as well, in general go at least slightly overkill and look at the WLL or Working Load Limit. Generally there is a safety factor of 2x or 3x the WLL for break strength but if they list both do the math and see where you stand.
Yes, overkill with all recovery gear! It's nice to have some safety margins built in.
Thank you ! Looked for those infos 👍🏻 top content. Thanks mate.
Used 4wd to get to a camping spot? Congrats, you’ve overlanded!
Disagree. You have to post about it to Instagram, THEN you have overlanded.
Very informative video. Got some great tips. Thanks a lot.
Best level headed recommendations
Think a big one to add is a oil spill kit! Make your own or buy one!
That's a great suggestion! They don't take up any room either.
Funny. I have a tacoma, cherokee, and outback sitting in my driveway and Im trying to decide what I need first to start my own journey😂. In all seriousness I think I just need a no. Walmart battery and better suspension on the taco. Im open to suggestions………
First thing to do, but a $50000 4runner 🔝
Buy a 3,000 4Runner and have way more fun
Ooo I see we both have an early 5th gen trail
Great video! My starting out is going very slow lol. I've gone to the beach..I have a grand Cherokee, the same one you had. Got a 2 burner camping stove..gonna be getting a tent soon. Thanks for doing this video.
That's the way to do it, and a great choice of vehicle! I've done a lot of camping in England, but the first time I went out here, we were in a $15 Walmart tent with an inflatable mattress! It's good to start simple and see what you need.
@@RevereOverland thank you for the inspiration. Plus even responding..appreciate it!
My wife and I are in our 50s and don't want to climb a ladder or sleep in a tent. To many issues with H2O inside, packing up wet n dampness in general. We've used a '01 WJ Grand Cherokee the last 3 years and love it. Currently have 3 WJs. Use a memory foam mattress inside with the rear seat bottoms removed for more headroom. Have lite cabin tent to put coolers, toilet,if we take it and to change clothes in. Also a canopy. A small gas grill does for cooking. We have a winch on the rear as well as a high clearance cargo rack that doubles as a cooking platform. 3" lift with the rear sway bar removed, 265-70-17 Goodyear Duratacs and factory limited slip diffs. In both axles. Works very well off road and is comfortable to
sleep in. Stay warm and dry. Enjoy you Jeep😁🚙
@@bugsnstuff5643 very nice!! Yrah so far my wife and I camped on the beach. Wasn't perfectly comfortable in the back of the jeep but it was our first time. So we could def make improvements. But ya learn as you go. Sounds like you have a nice set up. Mine is still all stock but have plans for improving it.
J k - If you have back problems, like I do, I strongly recommend getting a self inflating or foam mattress when you start camping in the tent. Air mattresses tend to be very cold on the back & will cause lots of sore muscles. Enjoy your adventures & be safe.
Lots of food for thought here. Thank you!
Great advice bro. Thx.!
Great advise. Thanks for sharing.
Guy seems like a chill dude that I could camp with without thinking about murdering. That’s rare! 🤣
Good information, and fun as well.
I recognize that map on 9:19. That's the Great National Sand Dunes in Colorado! I got lost with my gf there 😅
Such a cool place... although getting lost there doesn’t sound like fun!
Hello there, new sub here looking for recommendations for boondocking camp spots in Kentucky? I have a older Toyota Highlander and like to explore on forest roads but not capable of 4x4 jeep trail type paths. I'm a little familiar with the Daniel Boone NF in southern Ky but have not yet got to do any boondocking down there. Thank you for sharing your video's look forward to checking out your channel. Have Fun, Be Safe, and Take Care Out There.
Excellent video, keep up the great work.
2015 4dr Rubicon 2.5 lift lockers, which steel bumpers 35" tires
Getting a Honda Passport soon. JonD adventure goes offroading in his. He calls it crossOVERlanding lol.
I liked the idea of RTT until I realized I couldn't take my jet ski down to launch every day without taking apart my bedroom lol. Get a proper tent, fill it with all your ish, and it's always ready when you get back from 10 hours on the lake :)
They're great, but definitely not for everyone!
I'll save you 13 minutes. Buy a 4x4 and start camping out of it in different locations reached by two tracks and Forest Service roads. Pretty simple.
Your average '4x4' is really just a '1+1x2'. Look for lockers, people.
@@samjohnson9894 Lockers huh? Not required. Learn to drive properly instead & you will get through all but the absolute gnarliest terrain. I've never not made it through an obstacle because I don't have lockers.
Great video! This was very helpful to us noobs.
Great video! Super helpful! #overland #4runner
Thanks for watching!
Trying to get into overlanding and the first thing imma buy is a rooftop tent cause I always wanted one(Xterra off-road)
Did you get it?
