6 Genius Accessories That Will Make Your Next Overlanding Trip More Pleasant
These cool overlanding accessories prove that roughing it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be uncomfortable.
These days, the simple act of getting out in the woods and camping out for days or even weeks at a time is arguably more popular than ever. From those that live the “van life” to hardcore overlanders, more and more people are seeing the value in escaping the daily grind and embracing nature. As we all know, overlanding requires careful planning and the right accessories, but this interesting video from Driving Line focuses on six non-essentials that aim to make your next week(s)-long camping excursion more pleasant.
First up on our essential non-essential overlanding accessories list is the Trasharoo, which is essentially a trash bag designed specifically for off-roading, but with space for all sorts of extra gear, too. “Trasharoos are amazing and they’re so underrated,” our host says. “Not only does it hold things like the spigot for our diesel heater, our hatchet, and some extra chargers, but we put a trash can in here, too.” In this case, our host has a custom Nitto Tire Trasharoo, which perfectly matches his vehicle’s Nitto Ridge Grappler tires to make it a bit fancier.
Next up, we have a DIY part – a camp shower pump that fits right onto a jerry can and has enough pressure for pretty much any kind of situation, including washing your hands, doing dishes, or taking a shower. And since everyone needs portable power while they’re out in the middle of nowhere, an EcoFlow battery and solar system provide more than enough juice to power all of your devices and then grab more from the sun when needed.
Our next essential non-essential is the Shift Pod, which is a very cool, very bespoke portable shelter. It’s a rather genius alternative to a rooftop tent, is temperature regulated, and isn’t affected by wind whatsoever. Meanwhile, this all-in-one diesel heater pumps some warm air into the shelter for those cold nights out in the woods, while some electric hand warmers keep your digits thawed out in frigid weather, too.
These are all things that may not be absolutely essential for a long trip to the wilderness, but they’ll certainly make it more pleasant. And who doesn’t appreciate a few welcome amenities when they’re far away from home?
