Overland Trip Planning: How to Plan a Grand Overlanding Adventure and Getting Started with GAIA GPS

Video Description

We're breaking down planning for overlanding trips and showing you how to use GAIA GPS (both on the web and the mobile app) in this video you shouldn't miss. Learn from my mistakes so that you don't have to make them on your own. I know, I know, this is a really long video but I believe it provides good value to those who are new to this overlanding thing and who are a little intimidated with planning a grand adventure. There’s no magic silver bullet for planning overland adventures so the more we can learn from one another the better our adventures will be.
