With literally thousands of brands at our biggest event of the year, it’s impossible to do a thorough round-up. As an overlander and overall outdoorsy person, however, I was fascinated by the inventive spirit among the brands and products. Many problems I’ve learned to live with (or have avoided out of fear of not being able to solve in a bad situation) actually have solutions. Big or small, these smart solutions to frustrating problems caught my attention and are worth sharing.

As discussed in my Overland Expo West Recap, this was my first time finally attending an Overland Expo event after years of going it alone. I was so inspired by the thousands of incredible rigs, gear, and more to make the camping experience more enjoyable.

A first-time attendee’s highlight reel (spoiler: it was all highlights)We are finally settling in back home after an incredible weekend at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona. Although I’m a longtime overlander, it was my first time at Overland Expo West and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was everything I hoped and little that I feared: it was packed with excited vendors, exhibitors, and attendees, but not so much that no one could get close to products.

We have been having an absolutely incredible time at our largest event of the year, Overland Expo West. Live music, parties, raffles, new friends, and DOGS! But what has really been making this event shine has been all the wonderful products launching at the event, brands who are giving attendees the first peak at new concepts, prototypes, and small businesses who use this opportunity to showcase their inventions.
