Overlanding, expeditions, offroading, and outbacking are some of the terms that are often used to explain different trips people make. So often these words are used incorrectly. I too am guilty of misusing these words. Scott Brady, with contributions from Douglas Hackney, Jonathan Hanson, Graham Jackson and Sinuhe Xavier have written an article that totally explains all these definitions.

Backcountry Adventure: A one-day, or multi-day off-highway trip in an adventure motorcycle or 4wd.

Overland(ing): Vehicle-supported, self-reliant adventure travel, typically on remote, secondary or unimproved roads or tracks.

Vehicle-Dependent Expedition: An organized, vehicle-dependent journey with a defined purpose, often geographic or scientific in nature.

Expedition Vehicle: A 4wd or adventure motorcycle prepared for self-reliant travel over long distances, through unpredictable weather and over variable terrain.

ExPo: An abbreviation of the website Expedition Portal.

Notes: The term “off-roading” has fallen out of use because it implies that the driver/rider is traveling off of an established road, i.e. cross-country.

Kedron Caravans has been making caravans in AU for over 45 years. These are great off-road type trailers that would be perfect for most overland trips!! Check them out, and watch as Ill be adding this company to our overland links page!

I'd like to talk about Honda for a moment. Their dual sport model for the US is what?? A Honda XR650L . Really? That's it? When BMW has the new 800GS and Kawasaki with its completely redesigned KLR, I feel Honda is missing the boat. What in the world are they thinking? The Honda XL700V Transalp is laying rubber all over Europe. These are VERY capable bikes as the video shows. So Honda, if you are listening, SELL IT IN THE U.S. ALREADY!!!

Our latest video, Overland Journey: Iceland, is now launched! You can go here to watch it online! This is a dual sport ride across Iceland in 2008 with a good friend Jon Hulme. 100% of all the profits are being donated to RiderDown Foundation. This is a great organization that helps injured riders with expenses. They are a great foundation and Im glad to be supporting them.

Sweet new 4x4 mitsubishi fuso fg140. Manual tranny with PTO. Gotta love this rig as a great overlanding platform!

On a recent trip with my wife, we found ourselves in southern Missouri. The is the heart of the Ozarks with lots of lakes, rivers, and natural springs. One of the coolest springs we found was Big Springs. What an amazing place! Out of the way, few people, and well taken care of! If you're ever in the area, this is a must see! It flows anywhere from 140-854MILLION gallons of water a DAY! Amazing!
