EP1 Overlanding Scandinavia | The Proper Function of Man is to Live | X Overland Nordic Series

X Overland is BACK for the all-new Season 5! Before Covid struck and locked down most of the world, the team had been itching to cross international waters to continue their journey of overland exploration.
Navigating supply-chain setbacks, logistics nightmares, and a world on edge, the X Overland crew is determined to travel once again.
The new fleet of overland-ready vehicles featuring a 2022 Toyota Tundra, a 2021 Tacoma, and a 2015 4Runner needs to be tested, packed, and shipped out in time to make it to Europe.
The crew is ready. The trucks are built. Now all that’s left is to see if we can get there and start our journey!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thanks for being here everyone! We are beyond excited to share this series with you all!

[@ExploreWithIsaac]

We are excited to watch another adventure. Thank you for including us in your life experiences. For your overland rigs, why don't you include killswitches for the extra equipment? It isn't hard to install those switches and keep the vehicle powered up while cutting the power for things not needed.

[@Markiv-P]

thoroughly enjoy XO series .....

[@robertray4092]

Really enjoyed EP1, thank you. Looking forward with anticipation and excitement to the rest. Inspiring 🤙

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Awesome job just getting there. Cities are not your sweet spot your overlanders!

[@charlesharkey7885]

This is content I love. I WFH and just eat up stuff like this. No frills, no nonsense, no politics, just pure unadulterated exploration. Your content reminds me that there's an entire world out there and I need to see more of it. Love the flag idea - it truly takes a village.

[@jeromewhitmill733]

I'm surprised national geographic has not approached you. All of you are something special. The editing and cinematography are world class. Never stop!!!

[@philo_beddoe4367]

NG still exists? Who knew?

[@cornell833]

It's called dedication and hard work

[@AsianDonis]

within the first few minutes, I am receiving goosebumps relating to the cinematography. Spot on fellows! production is immaculate!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much!

[@sodobson]

First thing i thought as well.

[@JNDLZ06]

It's one of many reasons I enjoy their channel.

[@VentoCruiser]

Especially when starting the vehicles in the belgium port and when assembling all team members I was having goosebumps all over. This is just pure adventure cinema IMO. Can't describe how excited I am for the upcoming episodes. With the words of Nicolas Cage in "The Rock", Godspeed to everyone out there, from a German admirer.

[@MV-Dan]

My thoughts exactly!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Production, storytelling, cinematography... It all just gets better every time! Seeing the best continue to evolve is inspiring, so thank you for that! Stoked for episode 2.

[@sodobson]

Exactly

[@jdougn2255]

Thanks for taking the first 5 minutes to recap all of the spectacular adventures that you've allowed us to share with you!

[@nickseils8193]

The fact that this is free on KZbin is insane! I can't wait to see this whole trip! The production quality ahs defiantly elevated! Congrats everyone!

[@romanjohnston]

Some of the most compelling content on the planet. You tell stories....and show us your adventure.....in soulful meaningful way. You are appreciated.

[@truypham701]

You guys... I NEVER comment on YT videos, but this is unavoidable. What an inspiration of adventure, preparation, overlanding, video production.... so many things in one. I have a young family and plan on getting outdoors more often with a new Tundra build. This has been an inspiration. You made a new fan and subscriber. Can not wait for the next vid!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Wow, thank you!

[@letsseeyoutravel8364]

Great to see you and the crew off on a new adventure ..... National Geographic ... watch out!!

[@popeyerubi1981]

One of the best 42 minutes of my life. Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Wow! Thank you!

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Beautifully shot

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@fivefivesix-sevensixtwo4114]

The amount of planning that goes into this is insane.

[@bevanpope7924]

Having discovered you in Series 6, Afrika… it’s a no brainer to watch this series next. … and as a South African, my mind boggles at the cost of the Tundra build alone- so the entire cost would be millions of Rands! Eish! You guys are amazing.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@derekandrews4958]

It's better than going to the movies!

[@jacksonkelley6754]

idk if someone Finnish (or familiar w the topic) can comment on this, but i've heard and read that Finland is generally not considered part of Scandinavia. i know that its a complex topic and i dont mean to nitpick, but i have had a Finnish person correct me for referring to it as a part of Scandinavia before. they told me it would be correct to use the term Nordic rather than Scandinavian, but idk. i guess it doesnt rly matter for the purposes of this video

[@pilsu1979]

Hi a Finn here. Yes you are right prober term to call this area where they are travelling would be Nordics. Scandinavian countrys includes only Sweden, Norway and Denmark. When you include on the list Iceland and Finland we are Nordics (Nordics courties). We like to call ourself Nordics.

[@jerrytaylor2743]

You have assembled the best crew as always!

[@SeasonAscent]

Beyond excited for the rest of the series!

[@zahranishak9093]

at last.. thank God. waited so freaking long and hell yeah, Kurt is back

[@clintonoh3108]

These series never disappoint.

[@MrSidestick72]

Wonderful... as expected! Go strong guys.

[@HighRiderSonoma]

Great job ladies and gentlemen!! Thank you for sharing these adventures with us. I like so many are living vicariously thru you all!!!

[@robertphillips5051]

Well worth waiting on. Looking forward to each new adventure.

[@Eric805Robles]

[@jamwienst]

The whole family gets excited when we see a new ep! And the Jack London quote is fantastic!

[@TheEmptyMags]

How does this channel only have 350k subscribers? This is like some Nat Geo level stuff here.

[@AnthonyFlores-vq9ji]

Glad to see y'all back at it! Looking forward to the adventure!

[@Jackalope_Outdoors]

Amazing! Can't wait for the next Episode!

[@sonjajenkins1217]

[@netu3493]

Excited for this new adventure, can’t wait for next episode!

[@duecethehiker]

Excellent First Episode! Love the story telling that Clay is so good at as well as the addition of the "Tilt/Shift" view from the drone! Nice work to all @Expedition Overland!

[@project_poor_runner]

This is absolutely my favorite series to watch, cinematic views, story lines, communication and relatability. You nail it all and more.

[@bobbell8185]

You guys have the best overlanding video series I have ever seen. It's inspiring.
