Here's the Real Difference Between Overlanding And Off-Roading

Overlanding, off-roading: you might be inclined to think they’re both the same thing, since people use them interchangeably. But don’t be fooled—while they might share some similarities, overlanding and off-roading are two distinct driving practices that deserve to be named and defined properly...

I almost got caught up in the Over-landing craze with a trailer, but thought it out in my little mind, take a tent and cots, that's bigger and lighter than a trailer and do the same thing? And no chain and lock? Just Smitty's way of thinking. HA!

Not if you’re taking mama with you deep in the wilderness where there’s bears and other wild dangers....🤷‍♂️

Have any of y'all been to any of the Overland Expo's? I volunteered at 4 of them when they were at Mormon Lake in Az and here in Asheville. Typically the AZ Expo's are in may but due to the Crud, it appears they bumped it up to July. I'm not sure about y'all but July in Az = yuck! I know it's in Flagstaff at elevation 7000' but still hotter than I'd prefer that time of the year. When held in Asheville in the past it was always in October and would turn into a mud fest. I always had a good time and made many friends but I'll never volunteer there again.

Got the camper, truck, trailer and Honda all ready, was all ready for RRB Takeover was looking forward to meeting You and many others, all ready to go and no where to go now, kinda hoping that the group will organize a ride at RRB later this summer??? What do You think,,,,,,

I think I may start working on the ole camptainer since it warming up, got a winch mounted to the back of the truck so I can pull it off and on easy. May make some rails to bolt to when it slides on the truck.

It’s definitely a budget build, anything left over, bartered or hoarded is really what I’m using.

Cant wait to see it

depends how much junk I find and when I find it. I have a bed that lowers from ceiling. The way I have it planned out just like this one but with less expensive stuff

Speaking of... here’s a few of the latest happenings on that. Headed out to finish up in bunks here shortly. Also, added sink plumbing.

I'd think flag would be quite comfortable in July. Until the sun goes down. Then you'll freeze your ass off.
