Member-Only Perks
Overland Gear Guide is built as a long-term, practical resource hub. Joining as a member doesn’t put core content behind a hard paywall – it simply gives you priority access to the tools, extra tips, and new stuff we roll out.
- Early access to select long-form guides and route deep dives.
- Downloadable resources like printable checklists, planning templates, and quick-reference PDFs.
- Occasional member emails with new skills articles, updated route intel, and site news.
- Community-focused Q&A from time to time when we’re testing new tools or refining real-world tips.
What We Don’t Do
Clear expectations matter. Here’s what you won’t see from Overland Gear Guide:
- No hard paywalls blocking essential safety or planning information.
- No selling or renting your details to third parties.
- No weekly spam blasts – we only email when there’s something genuinely useful to share.
How Your Support Helps
Running in-depth route guides, skills articles, and planning tools online takes time and money (hosting, maps, software, coffee, and the occasional set of tyres). By joining – and if you choose, chipping in a donation or using our affiliate links – you help keep Overland Gear Guide independent and focused on real-world value.
Most of the site will always be free to read. If our guides or tools help you plan a trip, you can optionally support us by shopping via our gear picks or grabbing one of the Overland Expedition Series ebooks.
