I'm looking forward to researching convenient and time-saving products that enable me to spend more time enjoying the scenery and less time fiddling with camp set up and take-down. The ever-increasing brands of enclosed expedition trailers definitely has my attention, so one of my first stops will be a visit with Hiker Trailers (Booth #103A).

Traditional off-road jacks (brand name witheld) have sometimes been referred to as 'window maker'. This year Safejacks (Booth #T07) is expected to up the game in the safe(r) off-road jack market. Based on accessories for bottle jacks, it'll be interesting to see what they offer!
Baja Rack (Booth #16) always has something great going on, this year will be no exception. ANOTHER 3rd Gen Tacoma will be on display along with plenty of Baja Rack awesomeness!

I am excited to be attending my fifth-consecutive Overland Expo. There are few events that are greater than the sum of their parts, and Overland Expo is one of them!
The event has become more than the amazing classes (I might be biased but they bring in some amazing instructors) and vendors. Like many others, Overland Expo has become an annual reunion of the overland community.
Work schedules and geography often keep us from seeing our friends throughout the year, but we try to make time for Overland Expo.

It seems like ‘roto molded’ high-performance coolers are everywhere this year. Yeti & Engle are the incumbents, but we’ll see plenty of other options at Expo this year. Canyon Coolers (Booth #42) looks like a great option, with prices starting under $140.
