    It's car camping in a very special way.

    I'm saying it but people may not like it, overlanding is going on a multiday trip, when you don't stay in a hotel and drive on dirt at some point.

    He had Maine license plates so he must have been headed home. Traffic was terrible.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Who the hell pulls a trailer with a bike at 80?!

    In other countries, people ride as passengers in a trailer behind a bike. Lol

    If you add a rooftop tent to a Crosstrek or CX5 are you an overlander? I’ve been seeing quite a few small SUVs with tents lately. The tent looks massive on top of the small vehicle.

    Well, RTT's are now available for Porsches. Kind of like attaching a plow to a racehorse, but whatever.

    The same ones in the ad. The kind of person who wears a white button down camping, while waiting for his Hammacher Schlemmer "The" wood burning stove to reheat his breakfast frittata.

    If you think he's enjoying himself, he's not. His girlfriend is absolutely furious that they have gone more than 8 hours without indoor plumbing. No the park's heated shower house doesn't count. Ew, David.
