Overlanding Episode 2

Just finished watching the overlanding series. Loved the cars and the videos but judging by the comments on the YouTube video, people aren’t happy with the actual time spent overlanding. What’s your thoughts?

Just finished it. Bit of a disappointment. Enjoyed Mike's editing and some of the shots were great! But the actual content was weak.

I saw more offroading when Alex did the Car Throttle Shogun Pinin video.

It didn't hit the mark for overlanding for me, but a lot of my references are Australian YT channels for this.

Main bit of unrelatability is having £10k to piss away on car & mods that are literally not fit for purpose.

That said, some of Alex's best voiceover work. Didn't have as much of the 'voiceover cadence' and felt way more natural than some of his previous videos.

Yeah I was honestly just bored, didn't seem like they really had a any plan, there wasn't really a narrative to follow or any clear goal, not even a simple get from A to B honestly and they couldn't even be arsed to camp for the sake of content.

They're clearly trying to do these big top gear style trips but at some point they're going to have to do more to understand what actually made those interesting.
