EP1 Overlanding Scandinavia | The Proper Function of Man is to Live | X Overland Nordic Series

X Overland is BACK for the all-new Season 5! Before Covid struck and locked down most of the world, the team had been itching to cross international waters to continue their journey of overland exploration.

Navigating supply-chain setbacks, logistics nightmares, and a world on edge, the X Overland crew is determined to travel once again.

The new fleet of overland-ready vehicles featuring a 2022 Toyota Tundra, a 2021 Tacoma, and a 2015 4Runner needs to be tested, packed, and shipped out in time to make it to Europe.

The crew is ready. The trucks are built. Now all that’s left is to see if we can get there and start our journey!

I'm surprised national geographic has not approached you. All of you are something special. The editing and cinematography are world class. Never stop!!!

[ToyotaWorldRunners]

Production, storytelling, cinematography... It all just gets better every time! Seeing the best continue to evolve is inspiring, so thank you for that! Stoked for episode 2.

[AsianDonis]

within the first few minutes, I am receiving goosebumps relating to the cinematography. Spot on fellows! production is immaculate!

[romanjohnston]

Some of the most compelling content on the planet. You tell stories....and show us your soulful meaningful way. You are appreciated.

[jdougn]

Thanks for taking the first 5 minutes to recap all of the spectacular adventures that you've allowed us to share with you!

[nickseils]

The fact that this is free on YouTube is insane! I can't wait to see this whole trip! The production quality ahs defiantly elevated! Congrats everyone!

You guys... I NEVER comment on YT videos, but this is unavoidable. What an inspiration of adventure, preparation, overlanding, video production.... so many things in one. I have a young family and plan on getting outdoors more often with a new Tundra build. This has been an inspiration. You made a new fan and subscriber. Can not wait for the next vid!

idk if someone Finnish (or familiar w the topic) can comment on this, but i've heard and read that Finland is generally not considered part of Scandinavia. i know that its a complex topic and i dont mean to nitpick, but i have had a Finnish person correct me for referring to it as a part of Scandinavia before. they told me it would be correct to use the term Nordic rather than Scandinavian, but idk. i guess it doesnt rly matter for the purposes of this video

[fivefivesix-sevensixtwo]

The amount of planning that goes into this is insane.

Having discovered you in Series 6, Afrika… it’s a no brainer to watch this series next. … and as a South African, my mind boggles at the cost of the Tundra build alone- so the entire cost would be millions of Rands! Eish! You guys are amazing.

Great to see you and the crew off on a new adventure National Geographic ... watch out!!

[stevecoscia]

Terrific video. I met Clay and Rachelle at last years' Overland Expo West in Flagstaff and conveyed how I started overlanding at 65 years old, thanks to their video series. I'm 69 now. Their videos have inspired me to get out there. Thanks again, Clay, Rachelle and the team.

Hi, from Ukraine 🇺🇦. Incredible channel. I really like traveling, sometimes I travel a little myself .Now I am in the army and when I have free time - I look at your travels. Good luck!

[project_poor_runner]

This is absolutely my favorite series to watch, cinematic views, story lines, communication and relatability. You nail it all and more.

[HIllCarver]

Im not sure that TV is more "prestigious" or reaches a wider audience than youtube any more....but the quality of your films is second to none. Absolutely love watching the series and coming back to watch them again. Top notch work

[popeyerubi]

One of the best 42 minutes of my life. Can’t wait for the next episode!
