Community Spotlight
Our community members never disappoint when it comes to a sense of adventure. That rings especially true for our friend John @ Hillbilly Overland. We asked Redbeard to share a bit more with us about Hillbilly Overland, and what it’s all about. Read his note below to find out more.
Hillbilly Overland
Hi, My name is John, but like most of the neighborhood, you can call me Redbeard. I’m the founder of Hillbilly Overland. As the namesake implies, I’m just a Hillbilly originally from Eastern Kentucky who loves his family, his Jeep, and exploring the world around us one back road at a time. As a desk-bound IT professional, I wanted to head out on a new adventure; hence Hillbilly Overland was born.
Hillbilly Overland is my website catering to those who are new to Overlanding or are unsure of how to get started Overlanding. My blog posts cover tips and tricks, gear and gear reviews, and even a few funny stories along the way. The shop is budget-friendly and caters to those new to Overlanding, but also are products that have a specific purpose as a part of an Overlander’s journey.
Are you interested in Overlanding but have no idea how to get started or what gear/equipment you might need? Hillbilly Overland is the ideal place for you. Are you looking for upfront and honest reviews about budget-friendly gear? It’s definitely the right place. Are you an experienced Overlander who wants some awesome Hillbilly Overland swag (Or our Swag 😉) to wear while you tell some sweet stories and share some of your knowledge? Well, come on in! The Hillbilly Overland brand is built around a sense of community to educate, equip, and most importantly, share a few laughs along the way.
Our take
We love our friends over at Hillbilly Overland. The brand that Redbeard has built echos the same sense of community that’s important to us. John one of our original community members. His insights have helped with both the inception and the growth of this community into what it is today. He’s a great trail guide and patient teacher. If you get a chance, make sure to go on one of his adventures, they never disappoint!
