Overland Gear is All Hype

Rooftop tents. RotopaX. Awnings. Traction boards. Giant tires. How much of the overland industry is selling you expensive gear you absolutely do not need?

In this episode of the CAMO Convoy Podcast, Nick and Aaron put popular overland gear, vehicle modifications and entire platforms on trial. Some equipment earns a permanent place in the truck. Some only makes sense in very specific situations. And some of it is expensive Instagram decoration that makes your vehicle worse at actually traveling.

We debate:

Rooftop tents and awnings
RotopaX and fuel storage
Traction boards
Snorkels
DECKED drawer systems
Onboard air
Jetboil style stoves
Loud exhaust systems
Regearing
Oversized tires
Jeeps as overland vehicles
Diesel heaters
And plenty more

No sponsor-approved answers. No pretending every expensive accessory is essential. Just two experienced overlanders arguing about what works, what does not and what people buy because it looks cool.
