But you are an overlander sir. You have bed drawers, bed rack, rtt, and bfg tires. Your the biggest overlander in our group sir lmao. But tis true sir, dont rope me in with them

 

I really hate the term "overlander".

I (and a lot of us) set up my truck to take me into the woods or desert, to explore, camp, cook, hunt, hike and whatever else I want to do. I want to be safe, and able to make it home. Sure, I want to sleep comfortably, eat good food which is convenient to prepare. Actually, a fairly quick setup and tear down is nice, so I can spend more time exploring.

But, somewhere along the way, someone figured out how to make money by selling a "dream" or "ideal". They turned what we do naturally into a 'lifestyle", and figured out to profit from it.

Nevertheless, I know what I want, and that's what I do. What others may call it does not affect me at all.

 

spoken like a true overlander

hahaha jk jk. I'm an "overlander" if you put a term on it, but I wheel too.

 

Well said

 

should I have an overlanding segment on my cooking channel? it seems to be popular, maybe more so than owning a kitchen even

 

Cook on the tailgate of your truck. #overlanding

 

in a mall parking lot right?

 

That is true. But, I starting doing what I do long before the label "overlander" was applied to it. See, when I started, it was called "car camping" (as opposed to backpacking, which I also do.)

Somewhere along the way, "wheeling" (or wheelin' in the South) became popular. It used to be just going exploring, riding, or driving through the woods. Again, someone figured out how to make money off this "sport". (People really call it a sport - I don't get it.)

The way I see it, the labels followed me, I didn't follow the labels.

 

you da real OG.

sounds like a bunch of stuff you can claim, because of your age, because no one is alive to disprove you...

 

I do lots of fancy fixins in the woods. Could even throw a few recipes your way, with tips on storage and prep.

 

I have a fun set up camp kitchen thank you very much. I only cook on the tailgate when im wheeling.

 

Keep it up kid - you won't make to my age!

What the hell is "OG"?
