We all know that the digital age has taken over, and most of us are guilty of spending too much time glued to our screens. While there are many benefits to being connected, there is also a need for disconnecting from the digital world and exploring new places. Adventure travel is one way to do this, and overland trips are a great way to explore off the beaten path. Camping is another great way to connect with nature and disconnect from the everyday distractions of life. Whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush or just some time away from it all, adventure travel is a great way to get it. So go explore! You won't regret it.
Overlanding to me is the perfect mix of travel and adventure. Exploration of hard to reach terrains and places is the real attraction in overlanding for me. Another important aspect is also the preparation of my vehicle, my RIG, as most of us overlander call them. I absolutely enjoy the process of modifying and maintaining this rig. If you too are intersted in modifying and preparing your vehicle for overlanding, please visit my DIY Video page where I bring you along and share in my experiences of getting my rig ready for vehicle based exploring / Overlanding.
DIY Videos / Youtube ChannelI rely on GAYA for my mapping needs when I am on the trails. I use an Android tablet mounted on my dash and it does an amazong job.
Take a look at the video I made on outfiting the dash of the LX to receive various RAM mounts, to me it was the best way to be able to have all my devices at my fingertips when I am on the trail. Don't forget my LX is purpose built and so I am not afraid to make modifications that are often irreversible and I am ok with this.
It feels great to be lost in the right direction...

I use Slee's ARB front bumper inserts which allow me to run their LED running lights and turn signals. These inserts also allow me to run Nilight LED 3" cubes for my fog lights
