Budget Overland
A community driven network that focuses on sharing stories and experiences with beginners and pros a like. It's very easy to go down the "overland rabbit hole". Buying gear you think you need vs buying gear you could actually use. I see it over and over. People buy something then turn around to only list it on marketplace for a loss. Education and experience are key! I think a lot of people are overwhelmed with all the options that are available. They also may be too embarrassed to ask. That should never be a concern. This is one on the best communities out there!
Whether you’re a seasoned overlander or just getting started. Overlanding is for everyone!

Explore
Exploration is in our DNA. Some like remote places and others just a change of scenery. Planning your adventure starts with knowing where you can and con not go. BLM and National Forrest's are great places to seek an off-grid adventure. Although getting your family involved may take some time. There is no shame in staying at paid campsites to get everyone familiar with camping out of your vehicle. Plus, showers are nice!
