Overlanding Gear and Equipment are available to solve every problem imaginable. Gear now compared to when we started travelling and camping in 4WD vehicles as kids in the 80’s and 90’s has moved on in huge leaps and bounds.

These days gear seems to be a bit of a status symbol, you see vehicles with all sorts of crap bolted onto them. Our view is that less is more.
