Overlanding Gear Guide

Gear For Overlanding & Adventure Travel

With a bit of a contradictory note; to enjoy overlanding, gear is not the "End-All  - Be-All". 


  • Yes; you need a few basics like clothes and your means of travel. 
  • No; you don’t need to stay home until every gadget is obtained. 


Cover your basic requirements, buying the best quality overland gear your budget allows, then go!


If you have questions or want more added insight, just ask. We do our best in maintaining an updated list of suggested overlanding gear based on the recommendations of experienced full-time overlanders we’ve interviewed, along with our own experience. 


Our primary goal is to save you hours of research, contemplation and paralysis of analysis. Oddly enough, we also use this same page for our own reference (more often than you might think). It's a valuable reference guide that's consistently being updated as we learn from experience, along with the recommendations of other overland travelers like us.
