Anyone here go to the Overland Expo event last weekend?

This is the second year in a row now they have put on the event.
I hope to make it next year by flying in.

Basically it is one huge show put on of new camping/overlanding/expedition gear in one spot, and also guest speakers.

Camping was nearby plus motels to stay in.

I will include some links to videos that were posted over at Expedition Portals forum.
If the vids do not get you in the mood to get out and camp, nothing will.

Very cool video.
You will want to go to the YouTube site though and choose 720 HD and watch it full screen.
Embedding it here does not give you the choice.

At 2:05 is a very cool looking green shade setup to go over a picnic table or just to be out of the rain.
I like it better than my Kelty Shadehouse I bought a few seasons back that I setup and took pics to add to my camping gear review thread in the camping section.

At 2:45 in the same video you can see Mike's 80 series Land Cruiser with the new Autohome Maggiolina AirTop tent on it.
Mike owns the US side of Autohome tents.
He is who I ordered my tent from to be shipped to Rack & Road out of Bellevue, WA. who installed it a few years back.
I also ordered my new BajaRack from Mike, it should be at my dealer by Monday for a Tuesday installation.

You are welcome.
I goofed on the one Vimeo video though, I posted the wrong one.
