Typically our Social Media overlords restrict things with good intentions. But they also don't always go to plan.

From dog sledding to getting stuck in the woods, here are our favorite overland trips.

A friend challenged us to make a would-you-rather. We couldn't pass it up.

It's a question heard often, but few have tried to answer it. Ride with us into uncharted territory full of eagles, minivans, Tacomas, and more.

If you've seen @zachary_diehl 's videos, you know why we love him. His unique twist of wit and wacky adventure has made him an instant favorite among the overland community.

On occasion, someone, usually not a customer, makes a comment about the price of our products. Maybe they aren't aware that all of our bags are built right here in Bedford, Virginia, from American-made materials.

Now, we're not saying everyone should buy everything American-made. Matt sums it up best with, "Buy what makes sense for you." If you need a product that will last, we hope to fill that need.

So, if you want to hear more, check out our deep dive into American manufacturing, why we do things the way we do them, and a bit about internet trolls. Fair warning, some of us feel strongly about these topics, so we don't necessarily hold back.

We dive into how to record without bogging down your pace, the gear Jason prefers for shots inside and out of his rigs, and how to tackle the task of editing once the trip is over.

If you're looking to up your adventure filming game, this is a must-watch episode of the Overland Bonfire.

What do you really need to overland?

A brand new 4x4 kitted out with all of the latest and greatest gear?

A rare classic off-road rig that you have broken down and rebuilt a dozen times?

52 weeks of PTO to traverse a hemisphere or two?

That would be a no, a no, and another no.

In this episode of the Overland Bonfire, we talk about what you really need to get out and quench your thirst for adventure. In all reality, it's better to focus on the experience and ease into it instead of compiling a mile-long list of gear and lofty goals.

Off-roading versus overlanding? They're the same thing, right?

They can be, but they can also be very, very, very different.

In this episode of the Overland Bonfire Podcast, we talk about the differences we perceive and our experiences that involve the two communities evolving over time. While this tends to be a hotly contested debate in some corners of the internet, we tend to believe that as long you're prepared, having a good time, and responsibly enjoying the outdoors, you can call it whatever you'd like.

On that note, we also take a quick detour to express our disdain for internet trolls and other armchair opinion experts.
