This is simply brilliant! Thank you for this series! Firstly, it introduces the owner, his story, vision, passions, and needs. Plus, it goes a bit behind the scenes of your own channel, so to say. Secondly, lightweight concept in its proper sense. Maybe it's just my selection and/or youtube algorithms, but for my taste there are too many "perfect"/ "lightweight" builds, even from acclaimed overlanders/travelers, which are too complicated and heavily modified with form leading the function. Can't wait for the next episode
