In this video, I break down the 3 non‑negotiable survival items I carry on every winter overland trip — and the one discipline that will save your life when conditions turn bad. You’ll see this gear in action on real, icy state forest roads, not groomed park roads or influencer highlight reels. What you’ll learn: Why 4WD gives you propulsion, NOT traction (and how that gets you stuck) The “Elevation Trap” in the Mid‑Atlantic and why conditions get worse as you climb Tire chains: when street rubber fails and how chains change the physics Underbody armor: protecting your rig from frozen ruts, rocks, and hidden stumps Satellite communication: what happens when cell service dies at elevation How to decide when to wave off and turn back — before you become a DCNR incident report If you’re planning winter overlanding in PA, WV, VA, or the Mid‑Atlantic, this is the baseline kit I’d consider “survival required,” not “nice to have.” 🔗 Full write‑up and gear details on the blog: moodsofoverland.com — Overlanding for people with jobs.
