Currently looking at both the Suzuki Samurai and the Suzuki Sidekick. Once we find a reasonable option we will buy a vehicle. Amazing gas mileage, fuels our need to have LESS things, and small enough to travel on single track trails. We’re looking to do a lightweight overland adventure on a budget.

Later on I will include a list of parts and gear that will be needed for the vehicle, I also intend on writing an article about me building a roof rack for the vehicle.

Vehicle

• Puncture Repair Kit
