Hey everyone, I want to share my YouTube channel that I have created. Its called Electrified Overlanding. I am going to turn my F150 Lighting Flash in to an overlanding truck. I'm going to post reviews, build progress, trips etc. I also plan on covering EV myths with actual facts to help people decide if the F150 Lightning is right for them. The link is below. Please go easy on me as its the first real YouTube video I have ever made.

I know nothing about making videos, but I would suggest you get a microphone of some type as you can hear a lot of the background noise and it obviously sounds like you’re far away. Good luck with your venture! Good to see people putting out positive and truthful things about EV’s. I think if people actually spend time in an EV they would realize how great they are.
There is some good info here:

They are transitioning to a new website I believe so maybe more later or on the other website!

That’s great feedback. Thanks for sharing, I will definitely get a better mic.

As someone who overlands a ton in my lightning in Utah, I’ll be following!

That’s a great photo. I would love to pick your brain about you build.

I’m awaiting that back country image of the lonely truck on the horizon with the windmill churning away and a foldout solar panel tanning in the sun… or the rattle of diesel genset. 😝

Same setup with mine. Living close to the the Blue Ridge Mountains. A lot more trees than in Utah but the same concept. Primitive camping has been so good with my Lightning.

Not a true overlander, but it makes a great Boondocking camping machine.

Greenville SC. In 30 minutes I find myself in the Blue Ridge Escarpment and within one hour in the Panther town, Cashiers area. Asheville is 52 miles away from my home.
We have relatives in the Asheville area which we take advantage of visiting and enjoying the local breweries.
Hiking and camping is what we enjoy a lot. Blue Ridge Parkway is another of our favorites. The Lightning keeps the lights on and the beer cold while clamping in the wilderness.
