The Downfall of Overlanding: How Social Media Changed Everything

16 minutes

In this episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about something that has been bothering me for a while. Sure, I'll probably get some hate in the comments for this, but those are exactly the people I don't care about.

Most people act like they know everything and that there's only one way to build an overlanding rig, or use a dual battery system, or when solar is the right option, but the real answer is that there are a million variables and everyone's set up will be different.

So, will you be a negative influence in the space? Trying to make yourself feel better about your set up while diminishing others in a vain attempt to feel superior? Or, will you help me grow the love of Overlanding and dispersed camping while supporting and educating folks just trying to get into the hobby?

The choice is yours, but watch the episode before commenting below. Thanks for watching and, as always, thanks for trying to be a positive force in the Overlanding community!
