A Pyrenees overland short film: is there wilderness left in Europe?
Tired of the crowded hustle and bustle at home, our daily lives full of repetition, we were ready for a short change of scenery.
Determined to escape our routine, we embarked on an adventure with our closest friends, to find a piece of wilderness.
Our destination?
The majestic beauty of the Pyrenees in Catalonia (Spain).
We had an adventure of a lifetime with our friends (ram_overland_adventure).
We would like to thank:
@iKamper
@CAMPWERK
And euro4x4parts for our partnership.
THANK YOU !

This video captures the essence of overlanding as a celebration of both the journey and the destination. The breathtaking landscapes traversed and the intimate camping scenes paint a vivid picture of the dichotomy between adventure and serenity. It's a testament to the transformative power of the outdoors on our perspective and spirit.

Great video. I’m interested to hear about your friends’ Dodge Ram. It seems an unusual choice for an over landing vehicle as I’m assuming it is a 5.7 Hemi V8? If so, with all the extra weight, it must be using a lot of fuel and therefore they must need to refuel regularly and carry a lot of extra fuel? I may be wrong though.
@lewieandtherover
Жыл бұрын
Yes it’s a 5.7 V8, not a typical overland vehicle in Europe indeed. But the fuel consumption is not that high because it can also run on gas. Both vehicles did 1 liter of fuel for 10km 😊.

Haha not that much to be honest. It worked really well. One time it couldn’t go through a narrow street but we could drive around the village. It’s not that much wider than the Defender.
