Our Story
👋 Oh hey there! We're Adam and Val. Getting outside and out there down a dusty dirt road or awesome dispersed campsite is our happy place. And we love hiking, paddling, and meeting new people along the way.
Our Mission
At Bantha Overland, we're on a mission to inspire and enable more people like you to get outside and experience the fulfillment of overland-based travel too. However you explore and play, let's get out there, together!
Our Journey
In addition to being travelers, we're both makers by trade and have brought our love of making things to our travels and adventures. We started making custom gear and tools for our adventure rig BANTHA1, designing and making over 50 useful things to help make our travels a bit easier, safer, and more enjoyable. The things we make are inspired by our travels, field-tested in dirt, and made by us in our small Colorado workshop.
It brings us a lot of joy to make the gear we wish we had, solve our problems, and share some of those products with you in our store. We love the process of creation from inspiration, ideation, design, field testing, iteration, and feedback from people like you.
Our Other Work
When we're not traveling or making gear, we also enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience to help you get out there too. Topics often include finding awesome routes and dispersed campsites, stayed organized and ready for adventure, and staying connected with friends and family while mixing work and play.Â
Learn more and follow our adventures by checking out our YouTube, Instagram, and blog.
See you out there,
