How To Pack Overlanding Gear + Overlanding Cookware

Efficient packing is key to a successful Overlanding adventure. Whether you're hiking scenic trails, hosting an outdoor cookout in the woods, or planning something else entirely, here are some essential tips for your upcoming trip:

• Prioritize Essentials – Start with the absolute necessities (shelter, food, water, navigation tools, and emergency supplies) before adding extra gear. These items should always be easily accessible in case of an emergency.
• Use Stackable & Lightweight Cookware – Opt for nesting pots, collapsible bowls, and compact stoves to save space. Titanium or stainless steel cookware is durable and lightweight, making it ideal for Overlanding.
• Secure & Organize Storage – Use heavy-duty storage bins and modular packing systems to keep gear protected, organized, and easy to grab. Waterproof, dustproof containers will help keep your essentials safe from the elements.
• Distribute Weight Evenly – Keep heavier items low and centered in your vehicle to maintain balance and prevent tipping on rough terrain. Heavier tools and cookware should be adequately secured to avoid shifting during travel.
• Pack Multi-Purpose Tools & Gear – Bring items that serve multiple functions, such as a campfire grill that doubles as a stove stand, a spork instead of separate utensils, and a compact hatchet for chopping wood and hammering stakes.
• Keep a Grab-and-Go Cook Kit – Store your most frequently used cooking items (stove, fuel, utensils, and spices) in a single, accessible container for a quick camp setup.
• Plan for Fuel & Water Storage – Ensure you have enough fuel for your cooking setup and carry adequate water storage solutions, like collapsible jerry cans or portable water filters, to sustain you on longer trips.
• Test Your Packing Setup – Before heading out, do a trial pack and take your vehicle for a short drive to ensure weight distribution is even and everything is secure.

Proper packing maximizes efficiency, keeps your vehicle organized, and ensures quick access to critical gear when needed.

Our Expert Tips for Overland Cooking

Cooking in the wild requires the proper gear and techniques for a seamless experience. Multi-purpose cookware, such as cast iron pans and nesting pot sets, offers versatility for various cooking needs. Planning and prepping meals in advance can also make a significant difference — pre-cutting vegetables, marinating meats and proteins, and portioning ingredients beforehand saves effort when it's time to cook and eat.

When setting up your cooking station, a portable stove or campfire setup is essential, with a backup propane stove on hand in case of fire restrictions. Additionally, practicing "Leave No Trace" principles is crucial. Always pack out what you pack in, and clean cookware responsibly to minimize environmental impact.

Who says roughing it means sacrificing great food? With the right equipment and mindful preparation, you can enjoy delicious, satisfying meals no matter where your adventure takes you.
