Are you calling it overlanding OR camping?

[DRAX]

I'm part of a few communities, and I see so much confusion between what to call camping. Well some call it camping and others call it overlanding.

Which is correct? Is "Overlanding" the new verb for 'Camping'?

What do you call it?

Well, it depends on where you are camping. If you drive an hour or two away from home and camp for a day it is just a camping trip. In my opinion overlanding is anything that lasts a week or more with a change in camp spot every two days at most. You need to cover land and experience you place for it to be "overlanding"

Yep, I'll agree with this one

Honestly, does it really matter?

I think overlanding is a more general term, most of the time, I refer to it as camping.
