Two minutes into his video and I've seen enough.
We all knew it was a fad and fads dies off. Where I disagree is, it wont die for everyone. This has been my whole life as well as all my friends, it wont die for us. The "Overland Bloggers" are running out of content and now doing the same thing this guy is doing. The better ones will switch gears and go somewhere else.
I find it amusing how all these bloggers are going on a "Overlanding is dead" phase. I will say this, overlanding managed to evolve camping gear and it's nice to not see people out in the wilderness areas.
The next fad is starting up so get ready for these guys to start blogging about that.
One very positive thing came out of all this for me, I found someone who has the same sense of humor I do. I wont name names because he will probably be embarrassed if I call him out.

If that means that my favorite campsites won't be taken when I arrive there, then I hope you're right.

I think overland fashion will die out, not actual camping.
Driving to work with shovel, traction boards, etc is just embarrassing folks.

Overlanding, Van Life, all these fads can't die soon enough so I can get back to camping in secluded spots without people looking to film their next YouTube video. Idiots in SxSs need to go too. Guess I'm just getting old and just need my peace and be left alone now.

I take all that stuff off, but my jeep isn't a daily driver anyway. Shovel is a necessity for campfires and if you don't have a truck bed, racks are the best way to carry them.

My shovel is mounted to the roll bar in the back.
Always there, no one has to see it.

If you shovel snow or mud, putting that in the trunk with the family's luggage, fridge, electronics, etc.. isn't ideal.
I like to keep the elements on the outside, and the inside dry, comfortable, and clean as possible. Having a clean and climate controlled place to escape to on long multi-week+ trips is very comforting for us.
