Overlanding is becoming nothing but "influencers" with money wanting to brag about their status. Real overlanding can be so much simpler. while everyone meets a different gear requirement, most people take it too far.

It's hard not to agree with this!

By myself, I'll take my dog, canoe, fishing gear, small tent, a backpack. And I'll have a great time. With my wife and kids... all the gear comes out. Overland fit my 4runner, huge tent with air mattresses, heater, battery bank, coffee pot, tables, chairs, cooler, tablets, drones, and more.The gear and comfort items help to keep them happy and help them enjoy the trip that they otherwise would not. If they're happy, I can be happy. I agree that it is too much. However, it's what it takes to enjoy the outdoors with my family.

Looks good, good video!

Love the content. I am an eagle scout double silver stars. Between rent prices and living in nature I have moved into a 2019 travatao GL (lithium and solar). I work as a cybersecurity IT analyst remotely and full time live out of it. I think for everyone based on their needs, their goals and their comfort level having more tools to make appreciating nature easier and falling closer to their comfort level helps to bring them closer to the wildlife we love so much.

This wasn't very informative and made you sound like a gatekeeper. The core rules of outdoors are to go outdoors, have fun, and don't make a mess. That's it. If you want to spend a bunch of money on unnecessary crap, go for it. You're obviously enjoying your simplistic outdoor lifestyle, let everyone else enjoy it their own way too.

Years ago I saw someone make a complete thru hiking setup that was a reasonable weight for $100. While you are on the computer making spreadsheets trying figure out what gear is optimum someone else is just out in nature enjoying themselves.

Personally, I got a 2011 toyota tacoma expressly for camping, I splurged on a bed cap and got a tent that attaches to the bed (4 person tent, i think) the fiance had a old futon that is now permanently in the bed of my tuck, we also use it a lot for the drive in movies, it's still a good daily driver.

I totally get the roof top tent thing, even though I have one aha! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your Forester

"Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one"

There's a difference between a man alone with a hatchet vs a clown with a mansion sized inflatable tent. I'm tired of them hitching on the popularity of survival videos with their thousand dollar equipments and fake bullshit.

no skottle? are you really overlanding? lol I camp off a 250cc motorcycle, so simplicity is #1

I think you should still make the camper trailer lol

People like me that hate camping get to see places we would not normally get to because we can take some comforts with us, it's not all in vain.

I liked that tire spank edit at 1:17. That was clean lmao

I have been camping for 30 years and have watched how the "need" for more and more stuff is killing peoples desire to camp. Sites are filled with 6 figure RVs and Travel Trailers.

"Overlanding" is bullshit. It's car camping with shit strapped to your car so you can show off when you drive up a fire road or pull into a campground. Typical modern consumerisim fueled by social media and TH-cam shills.

if you want to take the wife who dont want to go and do the out door stuff you have to get some stuff of comfort so she will let you go and go with you, but i agree on what your saying.

I agree with this. Much like how the Jeep is a lifestyle brand more than an actual car company. They make people think they need a capable off roader to go explore nature.

Good stuff, keep those videos coming! Also, don't forget to subscribe.

Great content!

I have a 2003 Baja, and I want to lift it using the 2004 Baja’s struts (they’re an inch taller). Should I have to worry about camber, sway bars, etc. since it’s only a 1 inch lift? I need new struts anyway, my current ones are almost blown out and creak whenever the car moves. 💀

It's a bad idea to lift anything with cv joints.

did you take an impact to the camber bolts? doesnt that scew up the subframe?

Hello, I have the same subaru. I also raised it and how can I adjust the camber at the rear?

Would you recommend upgrading tires before a lift? If so, what would you recommend for off roading that will fit the stock Subaru? Will I need to then change to a different tire if I add the lift later? Thanks in advance.

17mm socket wouldn’t work?

I got two foresters myself. One off road other 550hp "race car".

Good video man!

you look/sound like a subaru guy

thx bro.

What is your total ground clearance

Great video! I don't think of the Forester Wilderness as a "mom" car at all. I actually really like the styling and almost bought one ... until I decided on an Outback Wilderness! :) I'm not trolling at all. I ended up deciding I wanted that 2.4 turbo. If they offered that turbo in the Forester I would buy that thing hands-down. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Hope to see more.

Awesome music and photography.

Working on lifting my 06 impreza osw. My 1st subaru. What size wheel and tire are you running?

Hey, do you have any preference when it comes to tires, i see that youre running grabbers, which are also on my radar but ive been looking at wildpeak trails, i dont want something as agressive as k02s but im open to anything?

What size is that long knuckle bolt? I just got my 1st subaru and am wanting to replace it with a stainless version when I start tearing out all the old and installing all the new :-)

Do you have spacers? Or are those +35 offset?

The Outback is a station wagon. Forester looks to me like a crossover.

Excellent video and excellent advice. Have you noticed a gas mileage change after lifting under normal/street driving conditions?

Nice video, might have missed it but what engine/tyres are on the orange Crosstrek ? I'm on my 4th Subaru (2022 Outback) and really love it, and like all the cladding, as it gives far more confidence off-road, plus much easier to keep clean.

Getting my 1st subaru an 06 impreza outback sport. Installing the Anderson 2" lift. Will a 215/75/16 fit this setup? What other quality providers provide other suspension pieces I can look into for my impreza? Any other recommendation?

Picking up my new to me 06 impreza outback sport. Wanting to upgrade wheel and tire package with an Anderson 2" lift. Can I get away with 215/75/16 with the 2" Anderson lift should I keep the factory offset and backspacing?

Can I replace only one tire on my sti?

I think the Outback and the Crosstrek are just more popular. The new 2025 Forester looks amazing, and may change this

You don't mention a subframe drop. I want to lift my Forester at least 4" which I know will need a subframe drop. But is there absolute doom towards my car when I lift higher than 2"? I am fine with reality, and I will do it right, but I just need to know the correct way to do it.

Love the music. Where did you get it from. Track name? Nice color I have the Outback in the same

Do you have any recommendations for OEM grade replacement complete struts?

Moral of the story. Just keep the stock tires and avoid headaches
