Up until this point, overlanding was simply just car camping and had not been glorified and put into the mainstream yet.

Overlanding has shifted from the experience of vehicle-based adventure travel to some version of how comfortable and cool you can make it. In the spirit of getting back to their roots, Mountain State Overland decided that instead of looking forward, they were going to look to the past.
