If I Can Go Overlanding And Camping In This, You Can Go In Anything!

You may have heard that my truck broke an axle. It's sad, but because I can't stop going out exploring and camping, I decided to hop into daily driver, an 07 Lexus IS350, and just go hit Hoosier National Forest for a fun weekend of camping.

This rear wheel drive, low, sporty sedan did great on the gravel and was actually a lot of fun to drive off road. While it's not the ideal choice for Overlanding or offroad exploring, it shows that if you're new to Overlanding or dispersed camping, you shouldn't just run out and buy a big lifted truck or SUV before ever trying it. I'll talk through some of the benefits of taking a vehicle like this (or any other normal daily driver) out to explore and learn what you like and where you want to go before droping 10's of thousands of dollars on a vehicle without knowing if you even like Overlanding.

If you enjoy the podcast and wouldn’t mind, I’d be extremely thankful if you left a 5 star review on whatever podcast platform you listen on! Thanks and have a great week!
