This week we hit the road toward Flagstaff AZ to check out Overland Expo West for the first time! The Expo was being held at Fort Tuthill in Flagstaff which boasted perfect weather for the weekend! The Expo had over 400 exhibitors and more than 30k attendees over the weekend so we knew it would be a wild time! After leaving the crowds of the expo we find some dispersed camping 30 minutes away in the coconino forest on some BLM land!

I definitely feel like it's an overpriced event. I'd rather gas up and head out on a trip.

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Yeah for sure, I think it would be worth while for any big ticket items you may want to purchase, seeing stuff in person and getting your Questions answered by vendors may be worth while. Thanks for watching David!

@DavidNarita 13 дней назад

What would you buy, if budget wasn't an issue?

@mixflip 23 дня назад

I didn't go last year so I was hyped to go again this year. I filmed an entire booth interview with Packout campers!!!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Nice!! The work Packout has been doing on their campers has been so awesome to see, always renovating and adding new stuff to make their camper more customizable to however you want to camp or use it, good stuff! Bummer i didnt see you around the expo! maybe next time

@draydogg3226 23 дня назад

That was an amazing campground. I’m slowly building my rig and just moved to Henderson from cali. Learning a lot from you on different places to go. Thanks

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Thats awesome! Welcome to the desert and glad you found the channel! There is always someplace to go camp summer or winter, we've been loving this area! Cheers!

@tylerhasabike5043 23 дня назад

Aweome video! Glad you go to enjoy some nice camping around my hometown of Flagstaff!

We love Flagstaff!! Always a great time out there, thanks for watching!

It was nice meeting you and Carly! Hope to see you guys again soon. Let’s go camp!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

For sure man! It was great meeting you, we will definitely get together and camp sometime!

@petergiers8515 23 дня назад

Seems like people are paying to get into a store. Your free campsite looked way better than the ones at the EXPO

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Very true lol yeah we lucked out on this campsite, really glad I didnt even up paying to stay at the expo grounds lol Thanks for watching Peter!

@kkcarricaburu6042 23 дня назад

Great video We have watched a few other videos but we saw lots more interesting things on your channel. Good job

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Thats great to hear thank you! Glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for watching!

@chriscolt8940 22 дня назад

Awesome looks like it’s definitely worth going to especially if you’re looking to purchase something..Thanks for the videos!!

@Kadenventures 21 день назад

For sure! Especially if it was a big ticket item that you'd want to see in person before pulling the trigger on it, great time to check it out there and see the competitors. Thanks for watching Chris!

@marceld6061 2 дня назад

Those inflatable products were interesting to me. They could make cool lawn furniture as well as double as camping gear.

@Kadenventures День назад

Agreed! if i had a truck with no bed cap on it I'd definitely look into one of those inflatable caps

@RuffnItOutdoors 22 дня назад

Looked like you guys had a good time! Boy overland west just keeps growing holy cow! What a spot you guys found camping though, I love devil dog rd in Williams awesome up there also.

@Kadenventures 21 день назад

It was cool to see but wow was there a lot lol We've camped devil dog in Williams before! Great area to disperse camp! Thanks for watching man!

@Monku123 23 дня назад

I went to the expo about 4 years ago and I said never again, the traffic and people are ridiculous. Everything was expensive back then, I can imagine what it cost now.

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Yeah and im sure the traffic and people have only gotten worse since then lol early in the day there werent too many people but by mid afternoon holy crap it was hard to get around some of the isles but luckily the expo grounds are pretty massive to get some space. Thanks for watching!

@Monku123 22 дня назад

Great content bro, keep it up!

@timparsons2741 23 дня назад

Really enjoying your channel , and thanks for the link for the Mountain hatch I ordered it . I thought it was funny that we have the same footstool from Amazon . I use it to pop up my tent from the tailgate also .

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Nice!! Having a flat tailgate makes that space so much more usable! The footstool has been a game changer around camp!! haha Thanks for watching Tim!

@agooyong6207 23 дня назад

Love that super pacific set up.

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

I've heard great things about them! They are a bit more pricey compared to GFC but the materials used and the build quality seemed like a level up in comparison. The Panels alone when I was trying to close them were solidly built!

@qwerasdf566 23 дня назад

I’m enjoying watching your videos from Korea. I also own a Korean brand camper similar to the concept of GFC. Your videos provide me with great inspiration. Stay healthy!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Thats awesome! Glad you enjoy the channel, thanks for watching!!

@johndiaz7240 20 дней назад

@Kadenventures 8 дней назад

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the camp portion of this video 🤙🏽 the expo definitely solidified that we really enjoy our setup as is but it’s always cool to see what else is out there sometimes. Thanks for watching John!

@lavelleshelton7913 22 дня назад

It was great to meet you and Carly……and Rio at the expo and glad you enjoy my town. It was my 2nd year going to the expo and still enjoy to go but the prices are a lot. Best part is you can find good dispersed camp spots right outside of town with no one around! Like your content.

@Kadenventures 21 день назад

Hi Lavell it was great meeting you as well! Thanks for saying hello! Completely agree, we definitely found a gem of a camp spot after the Expo, we always have a great time out in Flagstaff! Thanks for watching!

@erikerin2016 20 дней назад

You had us at InstaPrivy... Another great video...nicely done on mixing in the expo with camping - most just cover the expo, which is interesting to some degree, but some of us with off roaders/overland trucks stuck in south Texas have to live vicariously through you guys with access to trails and camping. As stated, great video and nicely done to both you you. All the best! As an EDIT: Really enjoy the cooking in the videos....very entertaining.

@Kadenventures 8 дней назад

Thank you for the feedback ! I appreciate that, I was actually thinking of splitting this video into expo only vs camping since I wasn’t sure how many folks would be into the camping portion of the trip so good to know for the future! Thanks for watching!

@hendersonhiking9597 23 дня назад

Thanks for your honest review of the event. I've always wanted to go but its too close to our long annual road-trip to make the drive to Flagstaff AND I was afraid I would want to buy too many "things". Plus I think the price to attend is outrageous, glad you got to check it out!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Thanks! And agreed, the only other event we've been to similar to the Expo was one in Utah, to get in was only like $10 which was nothing and it was way more chill, they even had live music and you could walk around with beers and see the booths. So we'll see if I end up going again next year but i'm leaning toward no unless there is something big I really plan on buying and I want to see it in person at an Expo like a van or truck camper lol! Thanks for watching Linda!!

@@Kadenventures what is the event in Utah?

@Kadenventures 21 день назад

@@hendersonhiking9597 it was called Outside Adventure Expo, I dont think it exists anymore after a quick google search but another expo event that came up was Outdoor adventure X which I think may be re-brand of the one we went to in 2021 www.outdooradventurex.com/

@MetalVentor 22 дня назад

You have an awesome setup. You got a great price on your rooftop. You should build it out something like 8:46 save your money. Use what you already have. Thanks for the video.

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Yeah! That would be awesome, i'm hoping to do something like that here soon maybe later this year! Thanks for watching!

Use some of your YoTube loot to get one of those 25K slide in campers 🤣Also can't wait for your review of the hands free tp holder lol. That breakfast sandwich looked amazing great idea!!!

I understand that dual snorkels are all the rage one. I believe I heard this trend started in Bavaria. Did you happen by the snorkel tent at this event?

@Kadenventures День назад

Unfortunately I didn’t see the snorkel tent there

@HN-oq3gf 23 дня назад

went there when they were in big bear. met the fellas from fieldvans and they were awesome!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Nice! I didnt realize they moved locations for Expo West, that would be cool to visit Big Bear for it. Thanks for watching!

@drewpknutz1410 23 дня назад

The gear is like 50% of the fun of this hobby! I have the Super Pacific, and it's great, but there's so many other options out there now, crazy. Remember on sleeping bag ratings, its pretty much just the temp the bag will keep you barely alive at.. add like 15 degrees for the 'Comfort rating'.. cool vid!

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

No doubt! I love my gear as much as the next person but I like to keep things minimal and going to the Expo really solidified that my setup is pretty dialed in and I didnt need anything lol Soo many options out there now especially in the 10k range. And yes! I do keep that in mind for the comfort rating of bags lol Thanks for for watching Drew!

@MericanAdventures 23 дня назад

Looks like you guys were there Saturday? I was there Saturday, went last year but we got rained out 😢 so I went back this year again 😊. I'm planning on going back next year and going for 2 days, I missed a lot going only one day. I also camped in them same woods, that's a really nice area to Camp. When you guys heading to Colorado? I got a trip in the planning for 4th of July weekend with my 4RUNNER, plan on doing the Alpine loop myself. Another good video.

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

Yeah! We heard from some folks that it rained last year. I'm not sure if we'll go again.. if we do I think I'd rather camp onsite so you can go back and forth between the expo and chilling at camp. We head to CO this week! Thanks for watching! Safe travels out there!

@user-yo1pk4ky4k 23 дня назад

The RV industry must have smelled money in overlanding. Now you can be backcountry June Cleaver with a refrigerator and slide-out kitchen. Where do I stow the vacuum cleaner?

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

No doubt about that! lol Vacuum cleaner would have its own custom storage bin hah thanks for watching!

@CheeseLayong 23 дня назад

Didn't see it in the video, but theres a camper called the Dwell Shell by Anti Shanty. IMO its the dopest out there. Supports 5' beds

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

I've heard of those guys! I just didnt see them at the Expo, it looks like a great option for 5ft bed though especially with it being hard sided, I like that a lot. Thanks for watching!

@ThatOneDudeNick 23 дня назад

The world's most expensive swap meet lol. I'd love to see the hotel parking lots in the area full of built out vehicles not camping 😂. I enjoy gadgets and there are some genuinely clever products, but I see lots of solutions looking for a problem.

@ARCENAULT 23 дня назад

Exactly what I said.. 80 percent of people out there do do camping..

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

lol! Your not wrong, i'm sure the local hotels were all booked up! Thanks for watching!

lol! The wifey really liked it so I had to get it, she was being a good sport perusing the expo with me (and baby sitting the dog while I filmed haha) Thanks for watching!

@DerbyAve 23 дня назад

That seems like an awesome campground! Are there a lot of spots off of 171? Or do you have to drive pretty far inland to find a spot?

@Kadenventures 22 дня назад

There are a ton of spots off 171! i'd say we drove about 5 miles in? So not too far down and we still had signal in the area we ended up. Great location for dispersed camping in the summer!

It was my first time going and it was fun but I don't know if I'd return. Everything is really expensive and I'm more into camping than the overlanding aspect. It lacked camping specific vendors/merchants for me.

the actual event is overated expensive stuff. The real show is in the campsite. You can walk around and see other peoples rigs, its expensive to camp ther tho like 300+

For sure! That would be one of the benefits of camping onsite to meet other folks and see their rigs. Definitely steep for only 2 nights

@xbpbat21x 3 дня назад

Completely over hyped. I've been almost every year. Lots of venders selling over priced gear that you don't need. My favorite part about the trip is meeting new people and checking out other set ups. Honestly, the parking lot of these expos are the better attractions, IMO.

@Kadenventures День назад

Yea I can definitely see that! And many people have mentioned the real expo is camping on-site to meet and see other folks rigs 👌🏽Thanks for watching!
