What in the heck is Overland and why does it matter? It's a ten-year-old festival dedicated to the practice and gear of overlanding. Overlanding is essentially the practice of taking your vehicle on an extended safari of sorts, while being able to remain self-sufficient in the elements.

In order to properly overland, you need to be able to travel a long distance on potentially uncharted, off-road courses, camp out, and cook your own food.

The Rivian R1T is reportedly the first all-electric vehicle with the ability to pull this off. We already know that the truck's bed can easily facilitate an add-on, camper-style tent. We also know that the battery-electric pickup truck offers a slew of cargo space, with its frunk, gear tunnel, under-floor compartment, and bed.

In addition, Rivian vehicles seem to be stellar when it comes to venturing off the pavement and into the wild. But, can it cook a meal? Well, not on its own, though that technology may well come to vehicles in the future.

In the meantime, Rivian has developed a unique stove that's powered by the electric pickup truck's battery and should prove hugely advantageous for the hardcore trailblazers and campers out there. As you can see, it attaches to the R1T's gear tunnel and can be stored within.
