Whats the biggest pain you face while overlanding?

Hey! My name is Jordan and I design adventure gear! Here are some examples of my previous work. I’m looking to create a product that solves a problem for overlanders, so what problems do you face on your expeditions that you’d like solved, but don’t have the capacity to solve yourself?

I'm looking forward to ANYTHING BUT domestic chores. Seriously. If I needed to pull a truck out of the mud or wash a load of muddy laundry, easy choice. If I needed to gather wood to make a fire and build a bed of hot coals to cook a meal, or turn the oven on to 350F, easy choice. There is a zero chance I will find a problem with this lifestyle. Don't even look for a problem. There isn't one.

Would be interesting if you explained the different products, I have no idea what some of these are for.

My biggest overlanding pains in no particular order are:
Tiny rocks that get stuck in the tread of all terrain tires and let go an hour later on the freeway.
Dead bug guts on the front of everything that get hard baked into the paint by the sun.
Waiting around while the tires air up.
The solar panels not charging at night.
Getting to a campsite only to find the best sites are taken.
Bears that have now learned to try all the door handles to see which are unlocked.
Expensive vehicle wiring that is now sleeved in delicious rodent-friendly soy.
