What does the term overlander or overlanding mean?
Overlander or overlanding refers to a type of self-drive adventure in which people travel long distances in all-terrain vehicles to explore remote and often less-travelled areas. Overlanding emphasizes travel and the experience of the journey itself, rather than reaching a specific destination or point in time. Overlanding often involves camping and living out of the vehicle throughout the trip, with participants being self-sufficient and carrying equipment such as tents, kitchen utensils and first aid kits.
The practice has its roots in expeditions and long-distance travel often undertaken by explorers and adventurers. Today, Overlanding has a passionate community of enthusiasts who modify and outfit vehicles to meet the specific needs of this type of travel and attend events like the 2023 Overland Expo West to learn about new equipment and techniques.
