Expedition Overland (1 Viewer)

[xoverland]

Ok it is X Overlands official first post here on mud. We are a reality based web series about overlanding. We have a 100 series cruiser, a 2001 Tacoma, and a BMW F800gs.

The desire for exploration and adventure is at the heart of this series. The show will feature our adventures and mishaps as well as our personal insights into our struggles, successes, and experiences. These journey's will require team work, problem solving, ingenuity, and endurance. The hurdles that are required for such journey's to be a success will be highlighted through out our series.

We have 6 members and are based out of Bozeman Mt. We currently have 2 episodes shot, and the first is currently live on our website. Our second Episode will be out tomorrow evening the 13th of Dec 2011.

These episodes are free to watch, and we feel they are a much higher quality of entertainment than much of what is on TV these days.

Just getting on here so that we can let you guys know that we are real people and we are interested in what you have to say.

I stumbled upon your website a few days ago and was amazed at how professional you guys put your work together. I was more amazed at how you came across a Macbook charger in the most random and unlikely place ever...

What is most inspiring is your combination of overland with trucks as well as the adventure riding on the BMW (both major interests of mine).

The overall tone and attitudes you guys have place overlanding with 4x4's in a positive light, which is MUCH needed these days with the limitation of access to public trails and some being shut down all together.

Looking forward to the next gig.

Stumbled onto your 1st episode in November. Found it interesting enough to post on the hundy board https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/496138-mud-100-series-videos-thread.html back in early November. Looking forward to your 2nd episode tomorrow night.

BTW- Almost forgot the official Mud Welcome You have now entered the LandCruiser Mecca.

It's a bit overdramatized. I think you guys have been watching a lot of reality TV. The production quality is excellent though.

I think you should have parked that bimmer and taken the Yotas up the switchbacks.

No kidding.... That thing was killin me. 2 days of that crap in a row is enough to make a guy tired. Especially an out of shape guy.

Keep it up guys , I think it is much needed to inspire future overlanders . I would rather watch an episode of your vids then any show on TV right now.

Great stuff and better than anything on TV. Growing up in Billings I explored a lot of the Pryor's on a 1985 XR350R and it was fun to re-live the adventure in the 2nd episode.

Keep up the great work!

nice job... only suggestion would be a little less of the overdub talking and more of the actual talking that happens on the trip.... gets a little tiring after a while IMO...

other than that I enjoyed it and am very jealous right now... bike and a hundy offroad.. heaven

Yea, we are working on that, none of us have ever been on camera before, so our interviews are still a work in progress. We had a bit of back story and intro in the first episode, so that one ad quite a bit of narration.

It is sometimes hard to see and realize what is happening when it is happening. We might be struggling to make something work, or fix something, that is just part of traveling, and then realize, hey, we should be shooting this. We will get better at it with time.

Thanks for the comments!!!
