After 30 days of overlanding across the rugged wilderness of Alaska, we’ve learned exactly what gear you can trust—and what will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. In this video, we break down the best overlanding gear that worked flawlessly and the equipment that failed during our month-long expedition through rain, mud, glaciers, and rough backcountry terrain.
From rooftop tents and recovery gear to solar setups and cooking essentials, we share honest feedback on every piece of equipment we used while exploring remote Alaskan trails. Whether you’re planning your own Alaska overlanding trip or just looking to upgrade your off-grid camping gear, this deep dive will help you prepare for the real challenges of the last frontier.
🚙 In this video you’ll learn:
* What overlanding gear survived 30 days in Alaska
* The biggest gear failures and what caused them
* Essential upgrades for long-term off-road travel
* What we’d pack (and skip) next time
📍 About the trip:
We covered thousands of miles across Alaska—from dense forests to glacial rivers—testing gear in every condition imaginable. This is our honest review after a full month living out of our rig in one of the toughest overlanding environments on Earth.
