Through Alpine Tactics, I create cinematic overlanding and outdoor adventure films that capture real family experiences — the gear we use, the trails we explore, and the unforgettable moments that happen along the way.
Join us on the journey — watch our latest adventures, explore our favorite gear, and get inspired to make your own memories outdoors.
This free overlanding guide was created from 15+ years of real-world outdoor experience — from California’s Eastern Sierra to Utah’s canyon country. Whether you’re planning your first family camping trip or building your overland rig, this checklist helps you prepare like a pro.
Overlanding and Outdoor Adventure Films — Every Trip Tells a Story
“Real Overland adventures. Real people. Real Stories. Real life.”
From the rugged canyons of Utah to the alpine lakes of the Sierra, these short films capture real family adventures, overland travel, and the gear that gets us there. Each film is shot and edited by Shaun Ezell of Alpine Tactics, blending cinematic storytelling with authentic outdoor experiences.
Watch our latest overlanding adventures, camping trips, and travel films below — and get inspired to plan your own.
Chasing Fall | Epic Overlanding in the Eastern Sierra follows a father-son overlanding adventure through California’s rugged backcountry in search of fall colors, remote campsites, and lasting memories. This cinematic short from Alpine Tactics captures the beauty of the Eastern Sierra, blending stunning landscapes with heartfelt reflections on family, fatherhood, and the simple joy of exploring outdoors.
Whether you’re into overlanding, family camping, or adventure filmmaking, this story delivers inspiration for anyone chasing that next great campfire view.
Join the Adventure and Help Keep the Story Going
Every film and story we share comes from a real place — long days on the road, quiet mornings by the fire, and moments that remind us why we do this in the first place.
We don’t chase views or trends. Our stories are about family, connection, and the kind of adventures that shape who we are. But staying true to that vision comes with a cost. The big, sponsor-driven productions often get the spotlight — while honest, family-focused storytelling depends on people who believe this kind of content still matters.
That’s why our Patreon community means so much. It’s the reason we can keep making these films — the reason the next trip even happens. Our supporters help cover the real costs of production, fuel, and time away from home, so we can focus on telling stories that actually mean something.
If you believe the world needs more genuine adventure stories — not just the highlight reels — we’d love to have you join us.
