Planning your overlanding trip: What you should consider

[XiNiX]

Before you embark on your overlanding tour through Europe, there are a few important things to consider and prepare.

1. Vehicle preparation: Make sure your off-road vehicle is in perfect condition. Check the tires, brakes and engine fluids, as well as the off-road equipment you need if you plan to use it. Also pack tools and spare parts for emergencies. Depending on the country, also pay attention to what you have to carry in your vehicle, e.g. a safety vest and warning triangle.
2. Equipment: Take the right camping and off-road equipment depending on the region and expected weather conditions. Also think about portable power sources such as solar panels or batteries.
3. Route planning: Plan your route in advance and research the routes you want to take. Pay attention to local regulations and permits so that you are prepared, especially in wild camping situations
4. Safety: Make sure you have first aid equipment and communication tools on board to call for help in case of emergency. For extra peace of mind, you can also share your itinerary with friends and family.
