En savoir plus sur le livre
Chris Scott and his team of contributors have created a comprehensive manual for planning and executing vehicle-dependent overlanding adventures across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Written in clear, jargon-free English, it covers various essential topics. Planning includes advice on timing, costs, documentation, sponsorship, and insights from early overland journeys. Vehicle choice and preparation is thoroughly addressed, offering guidance on adapting inexpensive cars, equipping campervans or 4x4s for extended travel, and even building custom accommodation modules for all-terrain trucks. Life on the road is explored with practical tips for navigating challenging borders, haggling, managing health issues, and coping with difficult driving conditions. It provides strategies for wild camping, navigation, onward shipping, and specific advice for solo women travelers, families, and pet owners, as well as vehicle repairs and off-road driving techniques. Continental route outlines detail both popular and lesser-known overland paths, including fuel prices, border crossing tips, visa strategies, and regional highlights. Additionally, the book features personal accounts of global adventures from contributors of various ages, showcasing diverse experiences in vans, 4x4s, and all-terrain trucks. An online resource complements the manual, providing further support for aspiring overlanders.
