    I would have to disagree and say all the cons you mentioned were taken from your poor planning and lack of overlanding experience. People should be aware of their equipment and personal limitations before attempting remote offgrid camping.

      To say all the cons I mentioned are invalid is a broad stroke assumption on your part and makes you look like an idiot. All of my cons are based on EXPERIENCE through trial and error; not speculation. Further, any awareness of your personal limitations and equipment is achieved through experience - not from (judging from your YT channel), video games or some other sort of childish endeavor. Check out the poem The Man in the Arena. Maybe something will click 🥔

      You have an opinion, as does the fella that said he disagreed with you. Calling that person an idiot, when he makes valid points, makes you an idiot. Having a YT channel and putting yourself out there, means that people will like and dislike or agree and disagree with you.
      I have two prosthetic legs and it doesn't stop me from from overlanding. Yes, an RTT is no good for me, but a small squaredrop overlander works for my wife and I. We do have some set-up and some outer awning spaces as the squaredrop isn't large enough BUT, the small trailer allows us to get to more places and for longer as we can carry more water, and food.
      Our strata rules for our condo do not allow for RV parking, so the small trailer fits in our garage, there are so many reasons I could give for why it works for us, maybe you have a different perspective, but that is fine. Our old trailer wouldn't have lasted five minutes on the trails we drive on in BC. As for the thievies? That happens regardless of the type of trailer you have, seemingly more often in the US.@@the_pointy_end

      I agree, but why would a RUclipsr call you an idiot?

    Man thanks for sharing! I almost made a major financial mistake if I didn't watch this video. Although trailers could benefit some people, I don't think it would work for my circumstance. Great information provided!

    Yes! Starting the off-road content with a banger! Definitely agree with the KISS mentality.
    As for car consolidation 🤔 Land Cruiser?

    Had me laughing..."In the middle of the night when nature calls, are you gonna want to be climbing down a thin ladder." Being an old guy, that's a huge part of why I knew I'd never go with a rooftop tent. As for my consolidated vehicle guess, I'm gonna go with a GX460 - even lifted on 33's it will get ~15MPG, be comfortable when riding miles of highways, but it shares the 4Runner ladder frame and is plenty capable for everyday 4WD trails. 👊

      Hey, hopping down that ladder in the middle of the night is no fun! Also, sleeping is such a small part of overlanding / off roading / camping… just stay dry and warm and all is good.
