Amazing Vehicles at Overland Expo

[@dklubertanz1]

Hey Brad & Regina! Thanks for stopping by our Kokopelli booth this past weekend at Overland West - our booth was super busy and our team was excited to bring our product lineup to the show! We are super excited that you have interest in the Twain - the 2 person canoe style packraft - at 14lbs and packable to the size of a 2-3 person tent it fits well into any overland setup! I always have my Kokopelli Rogue Lite in the storage drawers of my 4Runner to throw into lakes here in Oregon - my last trip involved the Cascade lakes around Sisters and Bend - included a serene paddle down the Deschutes river. I am based in Portland (yes urban life) but can escape for a quick paddle at lunch with the packable/portable design our packrafts - back to work in a quick hour! Happy and safe travels!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! It was great checking out the kayaks and we were really impressed with their durability and how compact they were. We are both tall, so for the sake of our marriage, I think we’re now considering two one-person kayaks. 😂

[@chrislund5182]

Regina has a super infectious smile! She is a great addition to your channel. I just watched your Washington trip video and having the truck and Regina combined with the Jeep and heavier offroad has doubled the fun. I have watched you for well over a year and watch 5 of your vids to one of the other guys. I've lived in San Diego for 10 years and hope to meet you at some point. This may be the year for the truck or jeep for me - we will see. Keep Regina smiling, she adds a lot to your channel.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much for your kind words and watching the channel!

[@caesar_44]

Love seeing you both out adventuring. You’re both adorable together…

[@GetOverItOutdoors]

Regina is the Bomb!!! Loved hearing her take on things and the rigs she liked. Her perspective helps me consider and discuss new ideas with my wife. It seems she is becoming more and more comfortable in front of the camera. She may have always been, just my thought.

[@TrailRecon]

Couldn't agree more... she is the bomb!

[@MrSportsphoto]

@@TrailRecon Get her the oven!!!!!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! I'm used to being behind the camera, but I'm getting the hang of being on the other side.

[@GetOverItOutdoors]

@@regenakowitz You’re doing awesome! Keep it up! My wife and I are looking forward to seeing more of you and your influence in TrailRecon! Sorry for the misspelled name. Regena!!!

[@regenakowitz]

@@GetOverItOutdoors No worries! I'm totally used to at this point in my life! 😉

[@rickm9479]

Great to meet you in Flagstaff. Thanks for your service Master Chief. Continue the great content with Regina.

[@TrailRecon]

So glad we got to meet! Thank you!

[@simon-mouse8739]

So nice to meet Regina. You guys are a lovely couple and so nice that she shares your passion for the great outdoors and life itself. Your shows are so much larger than we have in the UK I'll have to come out one year 👍😁

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@daviddunnigan8202]

Agree, Regina is great and adds so much…very natural manner on camera

[@robertmills794]

I was there, and so were a MILLION other people,.. ,holy crap! I've never seen crowds like that. And the crowd around Marco cooking was unreal. Great to have passed by you guys,..

[@TrailRecon]

Ya, it was pretty insane how many folks were there on Saturday.

[@Donnut123]

I like Regena's ideas of what to cook in the oven! Marco's too, but she went right for the deserts! Love it!

[@scratchnbell]

Regina has added a lot of depth to the channel. My wife has watched the last several "Regina" episodes with me. I can see your channel growing because of her presence. To tell you the truth the last few episodes have been some of my favorites as well

[@510_jk5]

I have to agree with you on this. And that’s saying a lot!

[@regenakowitz]

Awwww. Thank you!😊

[@BFord-ho3pq]

Wow! Mrs. Brad is an excellent presenter! More of her, please.

[@smallbusinessdreams]

That pursuit trailer with the pop out shower 🚿 🤘🏾

[@smallbusinessdreams]

At 7:32 what trailer is this? I can't find it.

[@johnbarrios1598]

Listen, listen to your WIFE!!!!!! Get the oven... I truly love how the both of love one another!!!!!.. man I love your program. Fantastic seeing Marcos Again!!!. I would love to see one of those Overland Expos... Looks so AWESOME!!!!! That new 2022 Dodge is out of this world cool. I can see my boys wanting one. Well three sons. 3. It has been a want in my life to ride on dirt trails. The adventure Beacons.. This is definitely a video to rewatch. I will be having my second left knee surgery this Wednesday. First time I was in the Navy. Just wish I was still in my twenties. Easier recovery. Well I thank You for making my day even more special!!!!! Keep wheeling

[@p.schaafsma3954]

Thanks for putting together this informative video about the Expo. My wife and I attended the event and saw a few cool things but it's great to see and in depth look at lots of the vehicles and gadgets. You were right when you said that there needs to be more smaller items like the sleeping bags, water tanks and other useful gear. It was a great event and a great event for Flagstaff.

[@alvarocastillo6840]

Glad that Marco got a 392! The man deserves it!

[@TrailRecon]

He totally deserves it! Great father, amazing grandfather, awesome friend and one heck of a cook!

[@texassky9706]

Regina's perspective is awesome; like fully contagious enthusiasm! I think there should be a Defender added to the fleet just for Regina. I definitely like the idea of having additional activity like kayaking or fly fishing. Thanks for sharing the Expo and safe travels.

[@regenakowitz]

There's no room in the garage for any more vehicles! 😂 But we do have room for a kayak or two. 😊

[@overland_dadsfl]

Love the new couples retreat version of TR....❤️❤️👍👍

[@wademay6807]

Was such a pleasure to meet you and Regina at EXPO West. Such a coincidence that Mary Jo, my wife, and Regina both had similar careers and you and I have military backgrounds. You guys are such great folks! We are really enjoying Regina being involved.

[@jgtaylor2201]

I like that your wife has gotten more comfortable with jumping in to offer her opinion. It looks like it was a great time. Thanks for featuring some of the products that interested you.

[@silvere36]

I had a blast this year. So many things to do and see! I agree with the Sea to Summit stuff! We all need little things that makes camping more fun. I bought their nesting pots and have already used it. Good stuff!

[@moparmatt8022]

Nena!!! One of my favorite people to follow! She's amazing and knowledgeable!!

[@TrailRecon]

She is great and I has so much knowledge about the areas she explores.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks for stopping by our booth this weekend! It was great to see you and your wife...you guys make a great team!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you!😁

[@shawnlusk5258]

I'm so glad to have met you Brad! Take care!

[@davidbartlett5604]

Love seeing your wife on some of the videos!! Adds another layer to your well thought out and filmed features and I enjoy getting her point of view on things

[@TrailRecon]

We had such a great time and I think you will be seeing a lot more of here going forward!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! 😄

[@raulgil7389]

Good thing Marco is there to save the day, but what saves the night. That’s what I like to see; couples sharing thoughts of adventurer travels, and also the practicalities of survival gear. I think that roughing it out in the Wilderness for more than a day is a survival endeavor; spooky dark good-nights. Thx for sharing…

[@NewLegend4x4]

Thanks for spending some time around some of our Scout builds, we're stoked you enjoyed them!

[@FreedomWarrior2000]

Love seeing Regina! I really enjoy hearing her perspective on things.

[@1217heaven]

Happy Wife Happy Life! Look forward to seeing your new oven on your next video with her baking something .

[@regenakowitz]

😊

[@33R3X]

@@regenakowitz You need to be in front the camera more often mam 🤗

[@ac2fv]

Excellent overview! So good to see regina in the mix, a breath of fresh air...

[@510_jk5]

Great video Brad and Regina!! So stoked to see Regina is feeling more comfortable in front and behind the camera and seeing her excitement during the trips is awesome!! Thanks to the both of you for making great content for us!

[@tempesttaz724]

The Bronze tow hooks look awesome on Marco's 392... nice touch

[@usr1036]

Brad, great info. I truly like how you hunt out the little things. Your wife is the bomb. You really bring it down to earth. I really appreciate how you cover it all and no judgment just passion for the adventure. Cheers bud

[@jimcobm3]

What a great presentation, for a moment I thought I was there! Regina and Brad you rock guys!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@DonnyTsunami4x4]

So glad to have met y'all at the KC booth! I swear, Regena and my wife are one in the same in that at first they were hesitant about overlanding, but now get super excited about the next adventure :) -Don

[@TrailRecon]

So glad we got a chance to meet!

[@Weretherussos]

Great to finally meet you both this past weekend! Really enjoyed seeing OEW through your lens and thanks for sharing that hammock at 5:40.

[@TrailRecon]

It was great meeting you both too and thank you so much for feeding us at OEE! 😀 We really enjoy your content and it would be great to meet up with you on a trail. Let us know when you’re in Southern California and we can go from there.

[@Apexdave]

Hey brad I was gonna make the trip up to see expo west and got too busy. Todd from trails offroad is a good friend of mine. I work on his Jeep. Trails offroad is the best. Glad to see how excited your wife is to explore with you! Super awesome

[@TrailRecon]

I love using trailsoffroad.com!

[@bernardngari9904]

Good to see Marco after a long time. Hope to see you guys wheel together soon and get wowed by his culinary skills as always.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Great coverage! I have to say, I really enjoy your wife on the channel, she's fantastic. You should definitely keep her around, she's a keeper!

After nearly three decades, he's stuck with me! 😉

[@trailrunnah8886]

@@regenakowitz congrats! I remembered him saying that not too long ago, that's why I made the joke, haha.

[@gearlist]

Great coverage Brad, every minute of this is jam packed with incredible rigs. Also can't wait to hear and see more of your Polaris!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Looking forward to getting the Polaris dirty... I've never driven one before, so it should be fun!

[@gearlist]

@@TrailRecon Awesome, can't wait to see all the mods and upgrades you do to it. Would not be surprised if you threw on a RTT 😉

[@rael6_4wd]

Nice to see your lovely wife getting out in front of the camera Brad. Thanks for showing us (those of us who couldn’t make it) around. OIIIIIIIO

[@KingLuis1985]

Regina has really gotten comfortable in front of the camera. Love it. And the love for plaid is awesome.

[@Gmaillorraine]

I love the way you look lovingly at each other when you talk. You can tell your the real and it helps with your recommendations. We ordered a 4wc and have to wait another year. Keep making 4wc content i love it

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!!

[@chaddamewood9840]

The skies opened up yesterday. We were down the road in Munds all weekend.

[@TrailRecon]

We got some pretty solid thunderstorms on Sunday at the event

[@vaughnburrows]

Would love to see a vid of just the cool gear, like you said the smaller things. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@BenEaddy]

Regina is such a girl! 😂She's definitely a good compliment to Brad. Keep it up, guys!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! 😄

[@guillaumehache4439]

thnx for the coverage , I work at LOKI Basecamp!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great looking rigs. Can't wait for Marko's jeep tour. Sliders are so useful. We are adding hammock bars from our roof rack. The loki and Inflatable rafts are awesome

[@FuriousFig]

Regina and Brad, it was great meeting you. Thanks for the patch! My daughter loves it! Keep up the great content.

[@renaissancepoet]

The supercharger in the TRX was screaming like a Banshee coming up that hill!

[@tracyropp9237]

Just got home about an hr ago. Two and half weeks on the road with the Expo mixed in. SOOOOO nice meeting You and Marco. You guys are just so cool and so nice. Thanks again for the Great Videos and all the work you put into them. My First time to the Expo and it was cool to meet your guys and others. Kevin and Sarah from Lifestyle Overland. The Crew from Epic Family Road Trip and the Crew from Field Craft Survival. So Neat to see everyone. I do have to say........the camping area was just as cool as the Expo with all the Great Rigs out there. I knocked out some Must do's on this trip for me. Hovenweep National Monument, The Burr Trail, Capitol Reef, Bryce, Zion, Yankee Boy Basin, Imogene Pass. And some great BLM and National Forest Camping along the way. Epic Trip... can wait till next year.

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you enjoyed your first expo. I agree that one of the best parts-maybe THE best part-is meeting other overlanders and seeing how everyone outfits their rigs to meet their own individual needs. The ingenuity and creativity never ceases to astound me. At the end of the day, it’s not about all the bells and whistles, it’s about starting where you are and just getting out there and having adventures. Have fun on the trails!

[@garyholland7569]

Regina! You two rock!

[@pauljordan756]

Regina adds a great deal to your videos and adventures… my wife and I really enjoy watching and getting both your perspectives. It is so much more fun to travel on adventures together! Safe travels y’all. 👍💯💪

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!

[@MultiBadass55]

Awesome you loved the snorkel 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@of_the_stone]

That's the old fort where we held the last highland games. While the dirt sucked for us, it looks just right for the expo.

[@bigdave4863]

Regina and my wife would get along so well, ascetics and comfort are paramount at all times!!! LOL

Flagstaff has always been a beautiful city. I do hope it remains so ...

Yall look so happy, thanks for sharing the love and the info. Happy trails!

Love hearing Regena's take on things. She spotted the trailer with a shower... you need to investigate that further and do a good walk around. That oven!! need to get one and do a product review. Until next time...... You two should..... Travel Safe.

That old red LJ looked like a classic land cruiser with that safari top. Pretty sweet!

Really great to both of you together more. I could see more of this in the future.

Was there on Friday and it was awesome! So much to see it was almost overwhelming, but well worth the trip. Loved it!

[@regenakowitz]

It was definitely a bit overwhelming. So much to see, but so cool!

[@TYZR4ME]

Hey Brad glad you guys had a great time at the expo, we would have loved to see you both!!! Spent some time hanging with Marco, got a chance to see his new 392 which was just awesome!!! We kept looking for your JLU Eco Diesel but we never saw it?? Had some questions for you regarding the Eco Diesel. There was just way too much to see and unfortunately we didn't get to see all of it. But we are loving our new Eco Diesel Wrangler with our new Overland Trailer!!! Hope to see you guys at the next event. Until then take care and we will continue to watch all your videos and congratulations to the continued growth and success of Trail Recon.

Road Chef ovens now come with a new addition called the Big Bertha 12V Oven.. very popular in oz, your wife will love it
