Off Road And Overlanding Gear You NEED

If you're into Overlanding or off-roading then I don't even need to ask if you're a gear head because the only way to be into either of those lifestyles you have an intolerable itch that never seems to go away, no matter how much Overlanding or off-roading gear you buy. With all the new products coming to market and various different ways to transport your items it can get a little overwhelming to try and make sure you have what you need over all the things that you probably want. In this video, I go over the absolute NEEDS for 2021 that everyone new to Overlanding and off-roading needs to have in their rigs. We will cover water storage solutions for those long overland trips and recovery gear that's essential but won't break the bank. These items aren't going to be the most glamorous items, but they're going to make sure you can get out and explore without breaking the bank, but more importantly, get back home when that time comes. In my humble opinion, there are 5 categories of Overlanding and off-road gear that you NEED to have in your rig when taking off into the unknown and that is exactly what we cover in this video.

Folks, I overlanded and traveled Europe in a pure stock 69 Volvo 145 station wagon, depends on where you go, but to overland you do not need a 4x4. Take a tow strap, shovel and jack, you do not need a high lift jack, nor do you need a winch, no, not if you don't go in deep mud holes, or go rock crawling. Traction boards, not really, been going off road for 50+ years, never used them, learn to dig, fill with local debris like rocks, logs, even small twigs can help. Tire repair kit should be in every vehicle, as well as a first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Any way, all kinds of folks have opinions, but to overland, you must have (really really want) a reliable vehicle, and above all take your common sense.

Personal experience the absolute first thing I require is recovery points on the vehicle someone else might have the gear but if there's nowhere to put it to on your vehicle you stay stuck and then you will need everything else

Great list. Just getting started myself and came across your channel. Super helpful.

Hey brother! Great video! Don't be afraid to ask for money! You add great value man!

[tnpfishing]

Well said I think I have everything you said except the tent part but im not doing overnights yet. Thank you for the info take care and stay safe.

[jamesmolenaar]

Great advice! And thank you for saying the rtt industry is borderline extortion. I always thought that.

[MountainRoots]

Hello there! Just found your channel and subbing now👍 Sounds like some solid tips, looking forward to more videos 🤙-Josh

[OverlandPNW]

Solid advice. Have to agree about the first aid kits. Probably one of the most overlooked item

[captcooper]

Many of the things in your recovery kit you said, you never used. Begs the question, if you really need them or if, in a pinch, you may be able to call for help? Peace of mind is important, and I guess it depends on how remote on this planet to go. Re first aid kit: a basic first aid course is also a good idea ;-)

Nicely done. Beautiful landscape and expertly shot video. :-) Let me know if my company can help to make your travels better. ;-) Cheers, Chris.

Did you guys get a new rig??? Something looks different

[justinmccoy]

If you don't have ratchet straps in your vehicle out of pure necessity, you need to get out more...

[martykeenan]

This is the first video I've seen of yours. You are great, I love your dimenor! Keep em' coming. I'm new to this but you have a great to to the point approach. I learned a lot, thank you

[shawnsevern]

A lot of good advice. I would emphasize the medical kit much higher. Also make sure that you have a kit that can handle sprains and breaks. As important, get some training. The more remote you go, the more likely that you will need to care for a injury for some period of time. If it is serious injury, and you are pretty far into the bush with not cellphone or satellite phone or satellite emergency responder, it could be hours (many hours before help comes. It could make the difference between life and death! This is born of some very direct experience!

I ran the same ko2s you do. I did a trail in Colorado called red cone, and aired down, I popped the sidewall of both of my front ko2s within a half mile of the trail. The first tire I changed with my spare, the 2nd I didn't have an option for, and didn't have a tire repair kit. Trying to limp off the trail ( while stopping to put air in the tire losing air, it ended up coming off the rim and snapping my steering tie rod thing and I was stranded on the trail. I ended up dumping the ko2s for km3s for their sidewall durability, and have the very same Boulder tools tire repair kit in my Jeep now. Side note I don't trust tires at all anymore no matter what the tire is
