5 Best Apps for Overlanding in 2022
While you're out on the road, your phone is your only connection to the world wide web. Of course, you can (and should) print out paper maps, read lots of books, and have a contingency plan in case of emergencies. However, we know that's not possible all the time. Here, we've put together a list of the best apps for overlanding that can help you out of those tight spots while you're out adventuring. We spend a lot of time helping you build a gear box, so why not give you some gear for your phone, too?
Roofnest Sparrow Adventure: An Exercise in Versatility
The Sparrow Adventure is Roofnest’s most versatile rooftop tent. Crossbars are included with the new built-in rail system, so you can load all your favorite toys on top — kayaks, skis, bikes, you name it. The tent’s crossbars can carry up to 100 lbs. of gear closed, and 40 lbs. when open.
No Ordinary Family Van: 2006 Ford E350 Super Duty 4x4 Conversion
Since 1996, Ken Montes designed, developed and mass-produced automotive components. His desire to create and invent products started at a young age. It eventually led him to launch his own company, Agency 6. A passion for the outdoors and activities such as camping, snowboarding and hunting motivated him to start the company. He realized there was a lack of functional products in the marketplace for his lifestyle. His vision and goal are to create products with the user in mind. He decided upon a Ford E350 Super Duty van 4×4 conversion.
Interested in traversing the unknown, traveling self-sustained or tricking out a 4×4 vehicle to tackle rough terrain? Overlanding might just be for you. It’s become more and more popular in recent years in many different forms on various social media platforms – if you’ve seen the viral #vanlife on TikTok, think of overlanding as its more rugged cousin. Comfort is not the goal of overlanders, and neither is reaching a set destination (sometimes, we even think getting lost is the best part).
