Camp Sleeping Gear 2022 Overland Expo

2 weeks ago | overlandexpo.com | Rick Stowe

On every journey, even if it’s just a short overnight, your comfort at night can make or break your trip. A restless night due to a sore back or hours spent shivering in an inadequate sleeping bag may make for a good story, but it’s definitely no fun at the moment.

New 2026 Subaru Outback

3 weeks ago | overlandexpo.com | Rick Stowe

Hot on the heels of the updated Forester, the new 2026 Subaru Outback just debuted and this is much more than a light refresh, with a bold redesign and updated tech throughout. While there is plenty of new in this Subie, the Outback is still focused on utility and adventure all wrapped up in a wagon-shaped package, but some might argue that it’s starting to lean into SUV territory.
