"Overlanding Tax." You've probably heard the term thrown around in forums, videos, and around campfires. But is it a legitimate gripe or just another overused buzzword in the overlanding community? In this video, I dive into what the "overlanding tax" really means, explore if we're genuinely paying extra for gear labeled for overlanders, or if we're simply misunderstanding how pricing works.

I'll share my perspective, examine some specific examples, and explain why this phrase might be doing more harm than good. Whether you're new to overlanding or a seasoned adventurer, this video will help you navigate the noise and understand if you're truly paying more—or just joining in on unnecessary complaining.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments: Do you believe the "overlanding tax" is real, or is it time we retire this term?
