When people think of camping, they often picture pitching a tent in a designated campground and enjoying s’mores around the campfire. However, there’s a different type of camping experience that’s gaining popularity: overlanding. Overlanding is often confused with car camping, but the two are actually quite different. Both offer opportunities to escape the daily grind and connect with nature, but overlanding takes camping to the next level. In this article, I’ll explore the differences between overlanding and car camping to clear up any confusion and help you understand the unique characteristics and benefits of each type of camping.

So long-term camping has me thinking about how the products I use affect the environment and how I can best stretch out my resources.
