American Overlander - by Venture2Roam

Venture2Roam

Welcome to Venture2Roam! We (Will and Kate) venture to explore the American West, overlanding with our family and friends.

This channel follows our overland adventures, our approach to primitive camping, Jeep Wrangler upgrades (and fixes), reviews of the gear we use, and of the amazing rigs and equipment we meet along the way.

We give our honest opinion on equipment and gear, share any hard learned lessons and tips we've picked up along the way, and highlight the overlanding community we love so much.

    WARNING Explicit Offroad Content...Seriously.

    Will is joined by Chris and Lance...and while they try to talk about their shift from Overlanding to Rocklanding, they get sidetracked by the banter that happens when three friends get together and drink bourbon. There is explicit language in this episode, so if you're offended by bad words, please do not listen to this episode.
