Exploring Overland Expo East in the Ultimate 4x4 Expedition Vehicle

[@bonniepwtf]

What a great sense of community! Loved seeing the doggo with the tiny Sombrero. That cooler was really a standout as well, really had it all.

[@Weretherussos]

Yes it did. How have you been doing Bonnie?

[@bonniepwtf]

@@Weretherussos Doing well, excited for Fall, my favorite season.🍁🍂🍁

[@ready4adv]

It was great to see you both at the Expo! Loved how your video perfectly captures the unique and supportive community we had gathered together that weekend! See you down the road!

[@tanbl6746]

Haha, the last bit was funny seeing the dog howling like a wolf lol

[@garychristison763]

I always slit my apples with a knife and didn't know you could do it with your hands without making a mess of it. I'm impressed and will have to give it a try.

[@MikeKilo1969]

My family calls that sausage dip, “sludge” and we love it!

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Hi to you all! Thanks for sharing. We had a great time there in 2022. Safe Travels.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks, you too!

[@stydeman]

I miss you both so much and you guys beautifully documented our weekend together. Thank you so much for doing this video. 🙏 Plus, Joe had a great story to add one night. Safe continued travels to you both and,……..till next time down the road. ❤️

[@Weretherussos]

You’re very welcome. That was a special weekend in so many ways and it was good hanging out with you. Hope to see you soon!

[@asifadeni]

Wow you are lucky guys to attend this event. Best wishes

[@mickster1780]

Overland Woodstock! wow what an impressive rig y'all are rolling in

[@karppadiem7014]

Was so nice to meet you there early on. I forgot that you had talked about going to Alaska until I saw Kait at the seminar. 🎉 - western NY Troy & Aimee

[@Weretherussos]

Greet meeting y’all as well

[@OverlandCitrus]

Hi Joe was nice to meet you after following you guys for years

[@Weretherussos]

Great meeting you as well!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Congratulations on being able to use that incredible vehicle. Looked like a great time. Gotta say though a 21 min video that shows about 2 minutes of the actual expo not was what I was expecting. Luckily there's 1.5 speed and fast forwarding. 😮🤔 Hopefully it still counts as a view for you 😉 Again congratulations on your partnership with Storyteller.

[@valeriesorrells]

had such a great time there this year. Weather was perfect and got to meet a ton of people and got a lot of ideas for our future over landing.

[@Weretherussos]

That’s great to hear! We were a bit nervous about the rain but it all worked out

[@valeriesorrells]

@@Weretherussos we came down early Fri morning, we were worried about the mud. Man Saturday morning was dewy that's for sure.

[@cherishpearl777]

“Telling lies over a camp fire “ … 😂😂🤪. Love it. Also love the rig you’re trying out by the way ! 💜

[@Weretherussos]

Thank you! - what do you love about it?

[@asifadeni]

Wow Really very exciting event to watch. Thanks for sharing

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks for visiting

[@paulbailey5915]

Nice video. Genuine people. Keep it up.

[@randy1203]

20:54 Wow! What a fun time. Too bad it was so wet! I have a class c I don't believe I wouldn't chance doing that meet up😢 This winter I'm going to Texas, and then April-May I'll be looking for a ambulance to scoot around in!! Safe travels Toledo 🙏 💙

[@Thesaltymedic36]

The bathroom there is by far the best I’ve ever seen. Now the Brisket 😋 Yup that’s the apple 🍎 place we went to. Thanks Kait 👍🏼 The classes are great. Lots of good info in them. I bought that table last year, it’s nice. 👍🏼

[@Weretherussos]

You’re welcome! Glad we share the same taste in fruit! 😋

[@williamthawley9251]

yes it was a storyteller. thought of you when we saw it, lots of van campers here.

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

Great video, dig your rig, love me some Russos, thanks for sharing.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks for watching!

[@ernestoquintero747]

My Winnebago Navion 24D has one thing in common with the awesome GXV Hilt , the door.

[@laurap5402]

Hey, hey saw Kenny & Sabrina!

[@MovingForwardAdventures]

We have a habit of sneaking into their videos 😅😆

[@MovingForwardAdventures]

Really like that folding table, missed it some how while at the show. Also i need Kait to teach me the apple trick again, I can't seem to get it right. Great seeing you guys, safe travels!

[@Weretherussos]

Great seeing yall as well. I still have problems with the apple - so don't feel too bad ;)

[@MaryAmesMitchell]

Beer exchange great idea. Never heard of that.

[@dogandajeep]

Learning Mandarin from the GPS would be better for me than listening to an audiobook with how often I take a wrong turn 🤣

[@Weretherussos]

😂 wrong turns can certainly make the journey more interesting

[@johns6290]

saw you guys there on that Saturday. It was a choice between the hilt and a Wanderbox. We just ordered a Wanderbox today

[@Weretherussos]

Congrats! Enjoy the new rig!

[@seib6324]

When you have Pulled pork and coleslaw Just for something different try putting a little mustard with a coleslaw that's awesome

[@Weretherussos]

Oh I definitely did throw some Carolina mustard sauce on there too

[@Zizzyyzz]

Splits apple, doesnt share. 😂 7:14

[@darrells1806]

At 67 years old, camping in muddy fields just don’t appeal to me anymore…

[@melvin5818]

thats fine overlanding, or camping is for everyone young and old. some like 5th wheelers with dryers, some like a simple backpack or travel trailer as long as you go out there.

[@04ultraTube]

Is that a "NEspresso"??? Joe, I am shocked but having said that, Nespresso does make a great cup of coffee!!

[@Weretherussos]

It's okay - I've just found that it makes life a lot easier not to bring the whole coffee set up and just pop a pood in when I want some. It also means Kait can make me a cup when we're driving!

[@kea4464]

Thanks for the cool video, curious why your Factor 55 is just hanging out like that, must be hearing all that banging as you drive.

[@markreynolds3850]

👍👍❤️ thanks for the video.

[@Weretherussos]

You are so welcome

[@garretlewis4103]

Seeing you guys at Overland East was on our bucket list. Glad we got to see you guys. We even made into the video talking to Joe. Did you guys check out Sherando Lake?

[@Weretherussos]

No, we beelined back to Indiana after the show as we have to get ready to head to Austin.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@Weretherussos 👍. Attending the F1 race sounds really fun.

[@VanDoghies]

Love this video and how you were able to capture the craziness of an expo with the fun and social events that happen each night. Taco night looked like a blast!!!! Did you need to pull anyone out with the Hilt?

[@Weretherussos]

No pulling people out. We were set up in the booth and couldn’t run around rescuing people.

[@jeffreya998]

I saw a tan Hilt(PA plates) up in Acadia/ Bar Harbor this past week, they are big!.

[@Weretherussos]

They’re not small!

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome

[@lrobie123]

RV Trader website has the Hilt showing for sale on it's website at several locations in the US.

[@conchscooter]

We’ve arrived in Santiago Chile on our way south to the tip and we’ve met three Americans overlanding South America. And we drive a a front wheel drive modest Promaster. Where do all those identical 4x4 Sprinters go? It’s weird to meet only Europeans.

[@RobK-q8fg]

I don’t consider what you do to be camping at all. You basically have a hotel on wheels!😂

[@williamthawley9251]

we are in the bar harbor area, we did see an overland 4 x 4.

[@Weretherussos]

Y'all are the second one to mention that. Those are friends of ours who are touring the area.

[@williamthawley9251]

@@Weretherussos we actually saw them twice, not today, we were over by sewall.

[@iosullysammy]

???? Good day. Is there a site that gives dates and locations of Expos. I always see after the fact videos. I’d love to have a heads-up on these events to prepare to go. Thanks 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@Weretherussos]

Yes we have it on our website. It will be updated with the ‘25 dates once they’re published: weretherussos.com/overland-expos-events/

[@rickw1427]

When are you guys going to get a shot at the GXV Epic?

[@Weretherussos]

It’s been mentioned but we’ll see if/when we get a chance to take it out

[@rickw1427]

@@Weretherussos Eye's out for that one.

[@montydanable]

You kids, back in my day we used paper maps

[@Weretherussos]

Back in my day I used paper maps too...never forget flipping through a Thomas Guide trying to find something in Los Angeles...but Google is better.

[@TonyPhillips-jy7ev]

That’s a nice rig / but if it’s built on the frame ugh a lot stress on the twisting points….

[@Weretherussos]

It’s not built on the frame. The camper capsule has its own suspension that rides on the frame and keeps the stress off of it

[@小黃-i7s]

Is the GXV HILT 4X4 will replace your MODE LT and will be the one you drive to Alaska next year?

[@Weretherussos]

No, this is just a demo unit we’re using

[@patyagecic3075]

You didn't show enough of the equipment they had for sale. 😞

[@CibranCawin]

Oke

[@raypilot510]

Is it my imagination or are these videos mostly geared to promoting different RVs for a specific RV maker?

[@Weretherussos]

Well…each RV that was featured is from a different manufacturer. Just showing some of the different rigs we saw there

[@randyz2088]

Please don’t take the camera into the restroom

[@garychristison763]

It looked like stock footage that you can find from Buc-ee's
