Overbuilt vs Stock RIgs fro Overlanding

Does Talon Sei have a point when he says rooftop tents are dead? In this episode I roast the claim, dig into the rise of hammock racks, and unpack whether rooftop tents are really on their last leg — plus the brutal drama around 4×4 Colorado tents (some folks say they never got theirs).We cover:• Why Talon is stirring the pot — and where he’s overselling it• The real advantages rooftop tents still hold in 2025• How hammock rack setups compare (and where they falter)• The 4×4 Colorado controversy — delivery complaints, leaks, and fulfillment issues• My verdict: “dead” is a stretch, but the weak players are dying @TalonSei   @tuneoutdoor   @radicaproducts  If you camp, overland, or just like gear drama — hit 👍, subscribe, and let me know: are you team RTT or hammock (or canopy)?—💥 Join the Campfire Crew on Patreon!If you dig this kind of honest, no-BS overland talk, come hang out with me over on Patreon.

I’ve had a lot of people asking what happened to me at the Big Iron Overland Rally this year… so here it is — the full story.This wasn’t just another hot weekend on the trail. It turned into a scary reminder that overlanding and extreme heat can push you to your limits — fast. I ended up in the hospital with 3 IV bags after what felt like a near-death experience.In this video, I share exactly what went down, what I learned about heat exhaustion and hydration, and how I’ll be preparing differently for future adventures. @MidlandUSA   @bfgoodrichtires   @GoTreads   @LeitnerDesigns   @overlandinganglers   @step22gear  If you’ve ever pushed too hard on the trail, or wondered what it’s really like when things go sideways at an event — this one’s for you.

The weather is cooling down. The feel of camping is in the air.

Yep it’s hot in Oklahoma….. what in the world have I done.

These are two options I am thinking about for a new camper for my Nissan, which one do you think is best?

I went down a rabbit hole. I have watched so many YouTube videos about ambulance camper builds, like so many. Then to continue further I came across Mike's rig build from Drive the Globe. Wicked cool check his YouTube channel out here. https://www.youtube.com/@drivetheglobeAlso check out UJoint Offroad they can convert your vehicle to 4x4.https://www.youtube.com/@ujointoffroadLet me know.... Ambulance(and which style) or Military rig and why?

With all the flooding happening, 14 states haveflash flood warnings right now! So how do we stay safe? We all love camping by rivers and lakes, so here are some tips for camping near water.

The trill of a new rig. Taking it out in stock form, then we build it up. Did we just ruin the fun? Do we overbuild our rigs?

The 4th of July is amateur night when it comes to overlanding, well camping. What I mean is that even the dispersed spots will be taken this weekend. And most of these places get trashed. Lets face it, your average "camper" will just trash spots. And the 4th just adds more trash, fireworks. Look I love a good fireworks show, just don't trash campsites and trails this weekend, please....
