Built from the Ground Up by Gear Addicts, for Gear Addicts
We’re not a media company. We’re not influencers.
We’re just a small crew of overlanders, backpackers, hikers, anglers, and adventure junkies who’ve spent the last few decades chasing sunsets, storming trails, and dialing in our gear, one campfire at a time.
Overland Gear Authority was born out of obsession. The kind that sends you down rabbit holes for hours comparing power stations, stoves, rooftop tents, or the best ultralight chair that doesn’t fold under pressure. If you’ve ever packed and repacked your rig or backpack five times before a trip, we get you, because we are you.
Real-World Tested: Every product we recommend has been used, abused, and evaluated in real field conditions, not just unboxed in a studio.
Decades of Experience: Our founder, John Dulemba, grew up on a commercial fishing boat, learning quickly the importance of having the right gear.
He has spent 20+ years camping, fishing, backpacking, and off-roading across North America and Asia. If it fits in a pack or a rig, it’s been tested.
No Fluff. No Hype. Just Gear That Works: We don’t push the trendy junk. We focus on what’s durable, field-worthy, and worth your hard-earned dollars.
We’re Independent: Yes, we use affiliate links. No, that doesn’t mean we’ll ever recommend junk. If it’s on our site, we trust it. Period.
This isn’t just a hobby - it’s a lifestyle.
We live this stuff. When we’re not testing gear in the field, we’re tweaking it in the garage, writing up lessons learned, or helping others build rigs that go farther and last longer.
If that sounds like your kind of tribe, welcome.
We’re glad you’re here.
