Jokes aside, I'm super excited for Scott's adventure in his Grenadier. He's a master of the social media aspect, and so I'm going to guess we'll get a lot of great images of the Gren doing cool stuff on his journey. I suspect he'll be a bit more cagey on the negatives, but the thing with a trip like this - negatives are a given. In my opinion and experience, negatives are only a deal breaker when we allow them to be so, otherwise they can really add to the experience of the adventure, and colour to the stories we tell in the years that follow.
Scott does tend to have expensive tastes in things like watches and other types of equipment but that's a two-fold thing - one, he's been successful and given a lot of Overland and Adventure travel enthusiasts an incredibly valuable online home, and two, the types of advertisers he has partnered with tend to be in the "premium" brand category. There's a market for that; I've always been more "Coleman pot metal" than "SnowPeak Titanium" in terms of my tastes, but there's plenty of room for both.
And while I did get a bit carried away above making fun of the typical "Show-verlander", I have to sheepishly admit that a Smeagh-style scarf is an incredibly versatile tool -- I travel with a plain grey one, and it's currently serving as a sling for my arm as I had a bit of an off on my bike and dislocated my shoulder, but it's also been a scarf, a water filter, a facemask, a pot handle, a towel, and many other things on many of my adventures.
Now if you'll excuse me my Maxtrax on my roof have some mud on them that I must go clean off.
. Or maybe I get instagram but then again all these tubers and inastagramers seem to spend their time looking through a lens or editing videos. I suppose if that’s how you make your living then that’s what you’ve got to do Including looking the part.
them up there now
