I'm sorry, but I gotta ask.....

Don't forget to buy everything in the filson and pataGucci (Patagonia) catalogs as well. You must have rotopax and maxtrax aslo or your just a wannabe.

 

Don't forget that SWEET Overland Bound badge!

 

If anyone needs an overlanding avatar, here you go...

 

I don't believe anyone can afford EVERYTHING in the Filson catalog?

 

Then you're not allowed to be overland.

 

You're not winning at overlanding unless you procure a bespoke Damascus hatchet.

 

Sounds a lot like portaging!

 

Portage:

When sailors compare the number of whores they had while in port.

“Hey sailor buddy, what’s your portage?”

 

FTFY

 

you do like your Seamen, eh?

 

Other sailors

 

And a Hi-Lift that's never been used.

 

What others have said. A trip that may have an end destination in mind, but usually is focused on the trip itself.

As others have pointed out, social media has kinda run it into the ground (with myself being one of thousands of perpetrators...) and turned it into yet another consumeristic dick measuring contest.

"Overland_Memes" on instagram is a hilarious examination of this new trend. Causes a lot of butthurt, but is honestly 99% true.

 

Pssssh, Damascus is for beginners. This is the hatchet to rule them all! http://www.tradlabs.com/etch/
It's actually made by a friend of mine and is super badass.

 

REAL over lander's drive with the tent open to the next over landing camp spot

 

Long Way Round?

Seriously, that was a great show (and book). It was pretty amazing to see those two ride their BMW motorcycles around the freaking globe.

And let's not forget Ted Simon & Jupiter's Travels.

 

That’s a few miles down the road from me .
