The inclusiveness is one of the main reasons I decided to join Overland Bound. I think the principle that anyone can be and is an Overlander is important.

So does it make me a bad person if I have an actual definition of “overlanding?” (Not an “Overlander,” not the person, but the activity.)

To me, my trip becomes “overlanding” when I have to refuel from a supply I have carried with me.

Man I love OB and the founding principles, and the fact that we all strive to adhere to them principles. Also i love the fact the Michael you are sitting in the dirt, hair not fixed up and I get the impression that you just stopped driving and grabbed a chair and camera and shot the vid…….

Are You an Overlander?

It's an interesting question I heard in passing. One I really didn't expect. What do you need to drive? What makes a trip and "overland trip"? I'll take a crack at answering the…

Thx for this video…. I have always loved driving, any excuse to get out and hit the road for an hour… A day…a week….. But lately… It has not been enuff I just can't scratch that itch anymore….I don't know if it's the traffic, or the people, or just the mess of run down depressing buildings…but I have felt this tension building up in me.. A tension that just blasting down the highway used to relieve…but I have found the answer… It started looking for off the grid property to buy. Something to build a cabin on, to escape.

Then the realization that I need a 4×4 to reach a lot of the property, and that the answer was in the journey, not the destination.

Getting off the road…leaving the road rage behind, and finding my own path, the path less traveled.

Finally brings peace.

So far my 2yr old is loving it here when we take our detours.

As a single dad and recently retired from the military while taking care of my mother I don't have a lot of time to get out. I felt there was/is the judgement from other "crews" about my skill level, my ride(until recently was a 2012 F150) or how much time I have spent doing one thing or another. I hated that feeling.

Maybe it was my own insecurities, maybe it wasn't; what I do know is, I haven't felt this welcome since I earned my fish(those who know get it).

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. PTSD is a very real and scary thing my thoughts and prayers are with him.

…With you all for that matter.
