Last fall, I came up with the brilliant idea to document our family's foray into overlanding, learning off-roading and gaining experience in spending more time outdoors. As I learned about overlanding, the idea became more and more intriguing to me and as we started planning and taking trips, we became hooked.
As a bit of a creative outlet, an accountability partner to make sure we keep getting out there and possibly some inspiration for others, we created a YouTube channel for our vlog series.
I'm not sure it would be polite for me to clog up the forums with a new post every time we release a new vlog (weekly), but if it's ok with all of you, I'll update this post with the videos as we release them.
To get started, I'll post our first video and the last two here, and if you would like to see any of the others, perhaps I could invite you to visit our channel on YouTube.
Our first few vlogs we get started off on overlanding on the Georgia Traverse. We have visited the Apalachicola National Forest and have visited a few off-road destinations to get some experience handling obstacles, etc.
We just released our 13th vlog last night, which was our first small trip (mostly an experimental trip) with our new-to-us Turtleback Trailer we purchased from another forum member. Actually, I believe our actual trailer was the Expedition Portal demo unit from 2015 - but please correct me if you happen to know better.
We also just returned from 3 days on the Trans American Trail and will be releasing that three day vlog series in a few weeks time.
I don't post here often but I spend a lot of time reading what you all share and have found the information on these forums absolutely invaluable!
