I Went to 2023 Overland Expo & Was Floored by All Tiny & Giant Overland Rigs...Especially THIS One! 

@justinboucher5923 Thank you. All of these shows are buy, buy and buy. Get in your car or truck get out to the desert, mountains or forest, pitch a tent and watch the sunset and listen to the breeze. That's what it all about in a nutshell.

Yup. For the most extreme hiking trips I had a simple borrowed hiking backpack rig (probably from the '70s), a borrowed old tent, a borrowed sleeping bag, not even dedicated hiking boots but just running shoes, and a borrowed cooker. We got to the trails in a normal car. Perfectly comfortable. In the military for our most long and extreme missions out in harsh places in the middle of nowhere we had a tent which was not much more than an old tarp in the shape of a tent and a wood-burning stove with the chimney designed to exit the tent's roof. It was perfectly normal to use that equipment even in the winter, up to -25C in the snow for a week.

Whilst I do think overlanding should be kept simple, the reality is people are getting old and yet still want to get out in the wild. That´s why these overly luxurious trucks exist and to be honest most people who buy these for bragging rights only look stupid. They all look ridiculous unless you need the amenities.

@@MrSilverfish12 It's like summer cabins. They start out as simple buildings only, with no comforts. Then as time goes by owners (get wealthier and) add amenities, it gets easier to add amenities, roads and infrastructure appear nearer... It's the same people using them. My grandparents had a simple little one-room cabin next to a fishing village (plus a boathouse) on a remote island. A few decades later there was a full new house built there, with running water, sewage, even a dishwasher! Nowadays it even has high-speed internet and a heat pump so it has cooling even though it's in a pretty cold climate. And many of those systems can be controlled remotely. Same people, times change. It's in our nature to develop things (well, in some of our nature, others clearly only want to destroy and steal).

@@pistonburner6448 also this is an exhibition. If is common to see insane builds at these events because the showcase the technology and what companies are capable off. Maybe you don´t buy the kitchen but you want the wiring done for electricity or maybe you just want a stripped out version with the off road capability. These builds are often just meant for showcase anyway

Good thinking. Will have to delete when boogaloo hits.

I was just thinking that

commercial

Then don’t be average

Just get the trailer hunter

I like the sound of that.

Most of the stuff on those trucks you wont need anyway. Get it based and add whatever you actually need yourself.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

They mentioned it about halfway through, but I agree, it should have been more prominent.
