What is overlanding? Is it just car camping? Do we just offroad camp? What gear is essential for offroad travel? What gear is not necessary for overlanding? Is all the gear just for show? How do you get into overlanding? Why do the creators that think this is a scam drive Toyotas? An offroader breaks down the possible phony world of the overland industrial complex in this video.

Video brought to you by the support of the Poughkeepsie & Holy Cross Channel members including Dean Johnson, Derek Jarman, Clint Flora, Don Weber, and Kevin Piowalty.

Flex, Rocks, and Rollovers Awesome Overland Trip:
   • 400 Miles of Extreme OffRoading: No ...  

Overlanding is a scam playlist, even though I disagree, give their videos a watch for a different perspective:
   • Is overlanding a scam?  

Again, no hate for the guys in this video. Clips were used to present their arguments and my responses. Most are small creators so give them some support even tho they were wrong about this ;)

About Colorado Mallcrawlers:
We are a channel that aims to show incredible offroad trails and our adventures to get through them with stock or your not so typical offroad vehicles. If that sounds like a fun watch, we'd love to have you as a subscriber! Our focus is making great videos rather than being "Overland Influencers." If you want more from us, we created the channel membership to give our community the best trail info on youtube quicker since trail/overland guides take a while to create. We organize our trips through membership as this allows us to get on the same page before we wheel/film together. Video Editors are Drew Hunter and Dewie Jones. We're always looking for more offroad video editors as we film a ton of trails (most of a video's adsense goes to the editor since that is the work of making trail guides).

YouTube Membership (covers production costs):

TrailsOffroad:
Is simply the BEST trails app, but they do not sponsor YouTubers so most channels will not tell you about them. In fact, OnX wanted me to pay me a lot of money to promote them, but I can not in good consciousness recommend that app (see my OnX vs competition videos). You will love TrailsOffroad, but just make sure they have your area covered before signing up. Use our link for a big discount.

Amazon affiliate links, but we are not part of the program (I don't push gear and people have to use your links to become an amazon affiliate). I just put these links in here in case people are interested in the specific products I use, but watch the video. You don't need everything I have and we don't push specific products.

My cot, pillow, and water containers are from Walmart. My stove's skillet was bought from REI and other gear is made up from stuff I already had.
