07/05/19 - Garmin Overlander
We rely on efficient tools to navigate our guided adventures beyond cellular service and staying in touch with emergency personal is extremely important to our clients. For the last 4 years, we’ve carried a Garmin inReach on board to navigate, track our progress and stay in contact in the wilderness.
Just over a month ago, Garmin introduced the Overlander. Paired with an inReach, the Overlander is the most durable and capable out-of-box navigation and communication device on the market.
A BUDGET BUILD
This is the truck that started it all for most of us. Visions of yellow Land Rovers tackling challenging terrain still surface in our memory. Fast forward 20 year and now we can afford to build one - in fact, we're gonna do it on a $5,000 budget!
ADVENTURE CANADA - THE SERIES
After 5 years and nearly 50,000 miles of adventures, Mountain State Overland heads north of the border seeking the most remote regions of the Appalachian Mountains.
Mountain State Overland's commitment to advocating responsible lifestyles supports awareness of Earth's natural resources. Mountain State donates a tree per every expedition mile traveled during filmed expeditions to Trees for the Future.
Each tree donated supports the development and management of forest gardens in Africa. By planting specific types of trees and crops in a systematic manner over a four year period, families can change their lives forever. Forest gardens provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuel wood and up to a 500% increase in their annual income.
With Trees for the Future, farmers in Africa learn to plan for their family’s future with food crops that will help them make more money, grow more food and build a sustainable future.
Built 4 Adventure - Builds and Walkarounds
We build trucks and we take you on tours of trucks other people have built! Join us in this evolving series of video content we call "Built 4 Adventure."
Service and Equipment Support
After traveling nearly 15,000 miles through the Appalachian Mountains we've fine tuned our trucks to include equipment that simplifies life on the road. Filming on the run does not pair well with being unorganized and relying on gear you can't trust. Learn more about the companies that provide equipment to support our adventures.
