The rain had finally stopped following us when we approached Istanbul. It was extremely hot when we were sitting in the traffic jam of this absolutely huge city. Earlier, we were discussing whether to stop and spend a few days exploring the city, but then we agreed not to. As interesting as it would have … Read more
Quick Answer – Best Tire Deflators: On the long distance journeys in your overlanding rig or truck, you will come across special circumstances where you need to deflate your tires. Beaches, sandy tracks, and trails are a few areas where you will need a reduced tire pressure to counter the loss of traction. In these … Read more
Proper vehicle safety involves keeping a fully stocked emergency toolkit. A vital part of this kit, especially if the journeys you take are long or the roads you travel are often lonely, is a tire repair kit. They are inexpensive, thoroughly effective, and require merely a few steps to use. Needless to say, they should … Read more
Rather than just writing about where we are and what we do, I’m starting a series of posts about the overlanding gear we use on this trip, as well as the ins and outs of overlanding from our perspective and limitations. Our point of view means the equipment we use is based on and influenced … Read more

If you enjoy spending time outdoors, this would mean that you need a high-quality cooler. And this applies especially if you usually plan extended trips in the backcountry, and require ice for days. Today we’ll talk about a range of coolers that rank high in terms of reliability. They are manufactured by Grizzly, and they … Read more
We woke up to some nasty, rainy weather – the kind that won’t seem to stop all day. And it didn’t. Quite a bad day not to be on the move. I prefer driving in rainy weather than staying in a campsite. But since this was a campsite with restaurants and other amenities we decided … Read more
While heading for the Turkish border in southeast Bulgaria, I realized that we actually made quite good progress. Our only deadline during the trip is August 27th, when we enter China and meet up with the tour company at the border, but we’ll probably catch up with Lotte, Niels and Giampiero before that somewhere in … Read more
When it comes to boating, camping, hiking and other overland activities, food and drinks are always part of the equation. Strenuous activities can make us easily go hungry and thirsty. However, when you are outside your home keeping the drinks cold and the food fresh can be a challenge. Those of you who go camping … Read more
I don’t really know where to start. We’ve started our biggest overland trip yet. It’s now day 4 and there’s a lot to report on. The last few days before our departure were extremely hectic. Getting our paperwork all in order, finalizing our gear and vehicle setup and leaving everything in order created multiple lists … Read more
February 11-19, 2018 After leaving Imlil our trip turned into a touristy holiday rather than overlanding, which is one of the reasons I decided to sum it up in a photo report rather than continue with our daily posts. I want to keep the focus on writing posts about overlanding rather than holiday-like travel … Read more
February 10, 2018 Our guest house was on the top of the hill in Imlil, which meant we’d had to climb up a slippery, muddy, donkey poo-covered trail at 1am the previous night with our big bags. The guest house was kind enough to send someone to help us, even at that time of … Read more
February 9, 2018 After a bitterly cold night in our rooftop tent, where even our skiing clothes were insufficient, we said goodbye to Ahmed and Owen and set off westward. Evelin wasn’t feeling well, so we didn’t have a great start to the day. Ahmed explained how to get to the main road and … Read more
Every outdoor adventure requires the right equipment. Otherwise, you expose yourself to a wide range of unnecessary risks and inconveniences that are better off avoided. An indispensable unit during an overlanding trip is a high-quality, sturdy cooler. And the YETI Tundra 35 Cooler definitely fits the description. Keep on reading our YETI 35 Review if … Read more
February 8, 2018 After a great breakfast in the morning sun, we packed our rig for the Erg Chigaga tour. From Mhamid you can do a round trip returning to Mhamid, but since we were heading north soon, we’d planned it one-way through the Erg Chigaga area, from Mhamid to Erg Chigaga and continuing … Read more
Another good option available to you when it comes to fridge-freezers are the Engel MT range of 34 and 43 Quart sizes. Two major players in the portable fridge-freezer market are ARB and Engel. Both are established brands in the overlanding market, but how do they compare? ARB vs. ENGEL. Keeping the food fresh for longer … Read more
February 7, 2018 One of the main reasons for the long drives we did during these few days is that we’d planned to see too many places in too short a time in Morocco. The country is quite big and there’s plenty to see. Whether you’re interested in nature or history, Morocco has a … Read more
February 6, 2018 Although I was complaining about the long drives in my previous post, I didn’t actually know what was coming in the week that followed. Before that though, we had a very relaxing day walking around in Tafraoute. We checked out a souvenir shop, called Maison du Troc, where we bought a … Read more
We know a lot about roof-top tents. In fact, we’d been living in one for almost a year and tested several others. We know what we’re talking about! When packing up for a camping adventure, your shelter is generally one of the first things that is planned for. For overlanders, the rooftop tent is becoming … Read more
Due to a multitude of factors, even the most experienced off-road drivers can end up being stuck in the middle of nowhere. This is where winches come into play. We’ve prepared two Smittybilt Winch reviews for you (reviewing the XRC and the X2O winch lineup) so that you can decide if these products meet your … Read more
If you’re a keen overlander, it means that camping is also ‘your thing’. And while cooking outdoors is definitely enjoyable, you should have the appropriate equipment for this purpose – I’m referring to camping stoves, of course. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure: the diversity of products to choose from – both online and in … Read more
May 13, 2018 While we’re still trying to catch up on our notes from our African adventure during January and February, it’s time to also start talking about our future plans. We’re about to embark on our biggest overland trip yet! The plan is to drive from Budapest, Hungary all the way to Singapore … Read more
Quick Answer – Best Portable Toilet: Going camping with your kids is a great way of spending a great time, especially if you live in a crowded city and see verdure very rarely. No matter if it’s a family trip or just a solitary promenade, you’ll definitely need a portable toilet; all the more so … Read more
February 6, 2018 Some of the days during the Rally were really long both in terms of distance as well as the number of hours we were driving. We expected to have a much easier time of it once we were overlanding on our own, but sometimes we underestimated how big Morocco actually is. … Read more
Purchasing a cooler used to be a pretty easy task. Options were limited, so it was very much a grab-and-go buy from the neighborhood store, but those days are long gone! Choosing a cooler has now become a more thought-provoking decision given the dozens of brands in various makes, models, sizes, and colors on the … Read more
Are you a camping aficionado? Then you know how hard it is to remain clean while taking treks or hikes and enjoying the everlasting beauty of nature. Usually, you don’t have many options to keep yourself clean or scrub the dirt off yourself. What you might need is a camping shower paired with the best … Read more
Many campers and overlanders are looking for coolers like YETI, but perhaps a bit cheaper. Not spending too much on an ice chest also makes sense if an overland rig is already equipped with a 12 Volt portable fridge-freezer, so the cooler would merely be a secondary way to keep drinks cold and perishables fresh. … Read more
What’s the first thing you can think of when you think “cold”? Winter, ice, the abominable snowman – YETI. There’s a reason why this brand is actually so popular – despite the fact that their products don’t exactly scream “uniqueness.” However, they are made to last, and their quality is known to be unmatched. But … Read more
With several previous interests, I’ve found that once I started looking into them, the first impression was always that there was still so much to learn and research! It was overwhelming — find out how much there was to know about a single topic. It wasn’t any different with overlanding either. When I got passionately … Read more
February 5, 2018 We figured one day off from driving was more than enough for us, so after another rooftop breakfast we were on our way. We remembered this part of Western Sahara with the road right next to the huge, spectacular cliffs just by the Ocean, and of course the shipwrecks. We stopped … Read more
