Our Story
Veterans need resilience to stay alive.
///
While deployed, soldiers are taught to “embrace the suck”, and “hunt the good stuff”. These are mottos veterans live by while deployed, mottos that fuel them to stay positive and fight another day. However, the tools and mottos that veterans use to find resilience while deployed often don’t translate or are hard to find post deployment, making it difficult to cope with the challenges of overcome the effects of war and a lot of cases just returning to civilian life.
///
V/O was created in 2016 by 2 combat Veterans who had a vision of helping our brothers and sisters through a common ground.
///
We needed an outlet post-combat to connect with like-minded individuals and continue to practice some of the things we learned in the service. Overlanding fulfilled that need.
Our Mission
Veteran Overland is focused on increasing RESILIENCE within the Veteran community through the proven healing power of CONNECTION, the positive mental perspective of the OUTDOORS and the need for post-service skill building through OVERLANDING
