DIY vs BUY: What's Actually Worth Building? | CAMO Convoy Podcast
Is it better to build your own overlanding gear or just buy it off the shelf?
This week on the CAMO Convoy Podcast, we're tackling one of the biggest debates in the off-road and overlanding world: DIY vs BUY!
From custom bumpers and suspension setups to portable power stations, recovery equipment, and camp kitchens, we're breaking down where doing it yourself actually saves money, where buying makes more sense, and when the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.
Tonight's topics include:
- Portable power stations and electrical systems
- Onboard air and compressed air setups
- Water storage and tank systems
- Bumpers, rock sliders, and skid plates
- Suspension kits vs piecing together your own
- Storage drawers and sleeping platforms
- Bed racks and roof racks
- Electrical wiring harnesses
- Snorkels and intake systems
- Recovery gear and recovery kits
- Medical and first aid kits
- Tool kits vs building your own
- Freeze dried meals and camp food
We're talking cost, quality, reliability, fabrication skills, time investment, and whether that expensive aftermarket equipment is actually worth the money.
