    What is the difference between just Trail Riding, Camping & Overlanding? The reason I'm asking is I just watched all of Mountain State Overland videos Season 1 and season 2. Season 3 isn't out yet. But I got great ideas, and jonesing to go hit some trials.

    Overlanding is trail riding and camping for an extended period - it usually implies that long stretches are completely self (group) supported.

    months/years the term has been hijacked recently.

    Expeditions and over landing two popular terms that people are using to replace camping.

    I live in a remote place so I go self reliant for days up here and still call it camping.

    I did a trip last yet from YUKON down through states to Joshua tree, Moab, etc... 16000km. It was great but over landing would be disingenuous to the term.

    I honestly think that most of us on here with overland/expeditions rigs by title are more appropriately described as off-road campers.
