If you’ve been following the camper biz lately, you may have heard some buzz about Alucab’s Khaya. It’s basically an off-road, inspired alternative to a four-wheel camper that is designed to be used for overland travel. Unfortunately for those of us interested in purchasing one, there just haven’t been enough reviews and feedback around to get a good reading on…

If you only have one minute of free time today, we’d recommend spending it watching this video. Okay, so technically it is one minute and fifteen seconds, but in that short time this clip will take you on an adventure around the world and give you a much-needed mini-vacation from whatever you’re doing. It has skiing, diving, Jeeps, monkeys, motorcycles,…

Overlanding is about the journey, the experience, the culture, and the people of a place. It’s about taking in all of the sights, sounds, and smells the road has to offer, regardless of your form of travel or budget. That’s why I really dig this latest series from the duo at West x 1000. It’s a fun, artfully edited story…

When it comes to travel destinations on my bucket list, Russia never really found its way to the top. Sure, there are plenty of amazing things to see there, but the beauty and diversity of other places always seemed to beckon me away from this enormous nation—until I watched this video. Observing Geko Expeditions wandering through colorful forests, across expansive…

The world revolves around work. We’ve become a society that identifies an individual’s worth based on the job they perform, the money they make, and the title they hold. Business days have consistently grown longer, emails and phone calls now keep us occupied long after we’ve left the office, and the new societal expectation is to simply move from childhood…

For this week’s video, we’re taking a second look at this beautiful Jeep and teardrop trailer combo owned by Larry Shank. The pair was originally purchased and built by his father, and Larry spent his childhood bumping around the backroads of the United States in the passenger seat. Over the years he has lovingly preserved and restored this vintage four-wheel…

Few people have done as much to put overlanding on the map as the guys and gals of Expedition Overland. Their friendly attitudes and passion for adventure have captured our imaginations from the beginning, and their videos have inspired many people to strike out in search of their own journeys, wherever they may lead. Of course, much has changed since…

How adventurous is your family? Do you think you’d survive a nine-week road trip together in a small car? How about a nine-month road trip in a tiny 60-year-old Land Rover that breaks down every day? Well, the Hyland family did just that, and their route took them from London to Singapore across some of the most beautiful and unpredictable…

Let’s take a moment to travel back to the turn of the millennium. It was 1999, a gallon of gas was $1.22, Napster had just been released, Britney Spears was on the top 100, Bill Clinton was on trial for impeachment, and half of the world was in a panic that the Y2k computer glitch would end society as we…

Do you ever stare at a landscape and think, “I could watch this all day.”  We certainly have, but sadly, on most occasions, there just isn’t enough time to stand around and watch the clouds float by. There are places to be, things to do, and schedules to keep, which is why this week’s video is so amazing. It captures…

When it comes to overland vehicles, few are as loved or revered as the Toyota Land Cruiser. These legendary trucks can be found in the most remote corners of the globe, and command an almost fanatical following of enthusiasts, but it wasn’t always so. Back in the fifties, the Land Cruiser was simply an imitation Jeep, and they were just…

You might find this hard to believe, but most of us here at Expedition Portal and Overland Journal live and breath four-wheel drives. On any given weekend, you’ll find us out exploring the trails and backroads surrounding our hometowns, and taking every chance we get to go camping—but we do, in fact, have other interests. Rock-climbing, paddle-boarding, shooting, fly-fishing, and…

When you think of exploring the misty hills and lush valleys of Norway, I’d be willing to wager that a Land Rover Defender comes to mind. It certainly did for me, but this group of friends did things a little differently. They chose to make the trip in two Jeep XJs, equipped with diesel motors and roof-top tents. Their video…

Where do you find inspiration? Do you seek it in the exploits of adventurers long past, the stories of overlanders circumnavigating the globe, or perhaps right here in the articles and posts shared amidst our members? I find that inspiration can be found anywhere if you know where to look, but sometimes it is simply everywhere. Take the world of…

Last week we posted an article following the adventures of a few friends through Canada’s stunning backcountry. (You can read it here.) The trucks, trails, and photography reeled us in, and the landscape can only be described as epic, but it left us wanting to see more. Well, it looks like our wish was granted, as their team has unveiled another…

If you had asked a Jeep enthusiast what they thought of the XJ twenty years ago, you might have learned a few new curse words. These plucky unibodies weren’t exactly adored back then, but times sure have changed. With their affordable prices, proven track records, and surprising capability, not to mention dirt cheap parts, the XJ has become a beloved 4×4…

We’ve been following Two If Overland on Instagram for some time, and these two have given us serious overland envy. Not only are they constantly traveling to new and exciting places, and pursuing their hobbies of biking, hiking, and paddle boarding when they get there, but they also have one of the coolest expedition trucks around. It’s a surplus U.S….

If you’re into overlanding, chances are that you’re familiar with Expedition Overland. Their action-packed YouTube videos have kept enthusiasts hooked since their initial release in 2011, and have inspired many people, myself included, to venture out into the beautiful world around them. But besides their epic trips through North, Central, and South America, which you should really check out here, their team…
