Overlanding & Glamping

[jojopad]

Anyone here into overlanding and glamping? Let's discuss!

Nag-overlanding nako thrice, twice in zambales, once sa tanay.

Its fun. Overnight kwentuhan, bagal ng oras.

I went using a hiram na Hilux. Toyota pa rin ang preferred brand.

Nice! How was the trail going to the camp site? Ok lang kahit 4x2?

Been thinking a lot lately of buying a pickup truck or suv para masetup for overlanding with roof tent. Mas gusto ko sana 4x4 para kahit papaano capable sa mga rough terrain.

Napansin ko sa mga brand new suv yung 4x4 available na lang sa top most variant, yung more than 2M na. Too expensive for me. Kung pickup truck, meron 4x4 sa 1.3 to 1.6M variants, mas affordable.

I'm also considering 2nd hand suvs/trucks. Concern lang kapag 2nd hand yung reliability, so kailangan talaga maiging inspection sa mga dapat ayusin bago gamitin sa long trips. Siguro kung may makitang 2nd hand Land Cruiser 100 series na below 1M at maganda pa condition, why not.

4WD 24-7 Aussie off roaders is my recent favorite. They got some very extreme 4WD adventures, very sticky recovery situations.

I don't have plans yet to go full time with off roading. Weekend glamping with a decent roof tent and a capable 4x4 vehicle would be enough for me.

I only wish it was a lot cooler here. I'd go every weekend if that was the case. Minimum gear for me would be an awning tent, roof tent and a shower enclosure.

been to 2 sites last year... no need for 4x4

those places that requires 4x4... walang CR so talagang malupit na camping yun

For peace of mind, go 4x4. The trails kasi becomes muddy after rains, kahit light trails lang. eh we cant say na its not going to rain, minsan kahit dry season umuulan.

Pickups are better than SUVs. Obviously more cargo space.

Sa vehicle naman, I prefer newer ones. Kasi we’re not yet at that part na we can repair the rigs sa trail mismo. Ako nga I got talked into selling my ranger raptor kasi di daw reliable accdg to some offroaders. Toyota daw mas “reliable”. (OT went to into Toyota to buy a Conquest, came out with a GRY.)
