Overland Clubs Ruin Overlanding?
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
DESCRIPTION
Are overland clubs building the community… or slowly killing the spirit of overlanding?
Before “overlanding” had a name, people didn’t ask permission. They didn’t follow leaders. They didn’t pay to explore public land. They just went.
Now?
Clubs. Paid trips. Structured routes. “Leaders.” Rules.
So what changed?
In this episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, we break down:
- What overlanding is actually supposed to be
- What makes a good club vs a bad one
- Why some clubs create dependency instead of skill
- Ego, hierarchy, and “follow the leader” culture
- Paid overland trips… when they make sense and when they don’t
- How clubs can either grow or completely kill the adventure
This isn’t a hit piece.
We run a club. We believe in community.
But we’re calling out the problems no one wants to talk about.
Because if your trip works perfectly without problem solving…
it might not be overlanding anymore.
