How I Pack for Overlanding Trips (With My Best Tips and Things to Consider!)

Packing for an overlanding trip can be one of the most satisfying parts of the adventure—or one of the most frustrating if you don’t have a system. In this video, I’m walking you through exactly how I pack for my overlanding trips, from organizing gear to saving space and keeping everything easy to find once I’m out on the trail.

I’ll share the packing strategy I’ve developed after years of camping, testing gear, and learning the hard way, plus a few tips and tricks that make setup and teardown way faster. Whether you’re just getting started in overlanding or you’re looking to refine your setup, these ideas will help you stay organized, comfortable, and ready for whatever the trip throws at you.

* Options for setups (modular to built in)

* What I keep in the truck full time

* What I pack a week out

* What I pack the day of
