The Coolest Things at Overland Expo Pacific Northwest 2022

[@glenngore6609]

I was SOOOO glad to see you go through the parking lot and see what real people drive. I don’t take much stock in what a lot of KZbinrs say, since they are operating on unlimited budgets where money and cost is no object, running around making like they are just the average Joe, who, according to their philosophy, takes a brand new Jeep home and immediately trashes everything but the body with new suspension, Hemi, $10k worth of wheels and tires and acts like this is what normal people do, and it could not be farther from the truth. That’s what I really like about your channel, you and your wife are real people who go to real places with your Jeeps that you spend your own money on. I hope to make it over to the Ozarks this fall. We have a vacation scheduled to the Broken Bow/Hochatown area of Oklahoma and I plan to take some extra time around the Ouachita National Forest. Great video, thank you very much!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks!! We do have sponsored things on our Jeeps but we like to keep it realistic and I never want to forget where I came from as a minimalist overlander wheeling 2012 Jeep JKU with DYI parts. Broken Bow/Hochatown is a fun and gorgeous area!! We have a video on it from a couple years ago. We loved it!

[@glenngore6609]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Yes, you do get sponsorships and that’s fine, but you are very careful to always identify them as sponsorships and differentiate them from what you pay for yourself. Others are not so forthcoming about that with the viewers, using such phrases as “our friends at X hooked us up with X”, etc when adding what to a normal person would be a $10,000 expense. I really appreciate the honesty. Those people in the parking lot spent their own hard-earned money building their fantastic rigs while some of the KZbin crowd got $50,000 worth of freebies to play with to build those impossibly great rigs. Yes it is something to aspire to but those rigs are not normal.

[@frenchie4wd]

We love the Broken Bow/Hochatown area!!! Go check out the Hochatime store and grab some dinner at Abendigos!

[@electricstartclint]

Hey Glen, be sure to hit K-Trail when you’re in the Ouachitas.

[@glenngore6609]

Both great places, already on the list

[@pacificnorthwestfrontier]

Awesome! it was nice meeting you!

[@scott7168]

Absolute best part of the video, going out to see what other people are using!! It proves, it’s not what name brand you have, but what works best for you! Thank you for sharing Matt!

[@EigerSummitOffroad]

Loved the layman walkaround of the parking areas to see real world usage of all the products we all use to such different affect. Great stuff!

[@srod2]

This was awesome!!! Love that you showed real practical rigs rather than just the expensive vendor rigs! Thanks Matt and Cara for another great weekend video!!!!

[@ryan_know-where9546]

YES! This video was actually way better than I was expecting it to be. A lot of the “expo” videos are a lot of the same, but this one had a great perspective. Also, as a born and raised Oregonian I’m truly happy to hear how much you loved it here. Oregon has it all, and I hope to see you making more videos out west. Desert to beach to mountains . We also have more miles of forest roads than any other state. 70k miles worth, come on back!

[@frenchie4wd]

Man. It was BEAUTIFUL!

[@madcratebuilder]

Glad you liked Orygun and the rest of the PNW, great place. Lot of manufacturers around the PNW with cool products.

[@Coloradohighcountrywheelin]

Love how humble you are man! Pretty awesome how you went out and rubbed elbows with the campsite overlanders. #thepeoplesoverlander

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I appreciate that!

[@alvinnguyen2643]

Lol you are too funny, love your videos and found you because of the setpower fridge review you did. PNW overland expo looks like to be an awesome time! Hope you’ll hit that 75k subs by the end of the year.

[@UltronMark1]

Very excited to see you guys at Overland East!

[@frenchie4wd]

Can’t wait to meet you!

[@bajasoobnut]

Glad to hear you love it here! Sure wish I could have gotten over the pass to see you guys and everyone else!

[@bajasoobnut]

Oh and a little trivia, the corn dog was invented here in Oregon over at Rockaway beach on the coast. The shop that invented it is called pronto pup

[@frenchie4wd]

Oh that’s cool!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great job showing some of the new products. Feel Like there's so much more new stuff that wasn't shown. How can someone see everything in 2 -3 days? You must have been wiped out. Thanks for showing some of the everyday rigs and set ups. Really cool. The canopy set ups from Australia are getting more and more traction here in the States. With the sizing tend to work well on trails aka Overlanding and eating well on the trail. Those little baking ovens are the coolest bit of kit.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s tiring but it’s fun!!

[@jesusalbertobf]

I really hope some day I met you at an overland expo in the future, love your channel. Grettings from Mexico.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks so much!!

[@frenchie4wd]

We are going to make the other two as well!!

[@richardbell740]

My Family and I live 20 minutes away from where Mtn West will be held. We plan on going even though we dont have a dedicated rig yet. Hope to see you guys there!

[@frenchie4wd]

Will see you there!

[@MichaelLochowitz]

Loved the walk around of the camping lot rigs! Seeing how normal people travel is so much more interesting than the high dollar vendor or creator showcases.

[@JoeBplus12]

Hey Matt! We weren't cooking anything YET..it was more heating up / burning off the previous meal. We'll be out there again this year! -Guy in the straw hat (28:09)

[@aMAYSingLife]

Matt, do those armadillo bags allow for diesel storage as well or just gas?? Might be a good option for me as well.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I'm pretty sure you can store diesel in them as well but not certain,. We will be testing them out on our upcoming Colorado trip.

[@haroldolafcecil3934]

Great meeting you at PNW OX! See you next year!

[@jimedwards8958]

Great vid. Just dipped my toe in the water and bought a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. At last I’m a jeep owner and loving it. Love from sunny UK.

[@frenchie4wd]

Wheel what ya got!

[@marceld6061]

That fairlead at 13:00 is da bomb! What a fantastic idea. Keeps everything lighter up front too. Every little bit counts. If you can show the spectators rigs EVERY time from now on, that would be great. Best part of the video IMO (that, and your dog)

[@nyakundibose6972]

The parking segment was especially amazing.

[@darksideemt]

So cool to see the chat with Barry Bonds! Casey was at the Yankum booth when you stopped there, love his channel too.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Yeah Casey is a great guy.

[@markgriggs1808]

Definitely interested in hearing how you like the Elka. Im going to a Clayton 2 1/2" lift for TIE-FYTR but have not decided on shocks yet.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I’ll let you know.

[@richardmondelli8894]

Can you tell me where did you get the extruded aluminum Chanel from. Been looking for it for awhile

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

From Xtrusion Overland

[@davidritacurl797]

Hey Matt! Discounting the Ozark pinstripes, how do you think a F150 would Overland here in Arkansas?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It can make it. It's just not as easy. lol

[@davidritacurl797]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thank you that was my thinking, but you have much more experience than I do. Still working on getting my truck ready to hit some trails.

[@1GMU1]

Please do a review on the yankum fairlead. Very interested in that and running a winch line with no hook.

[@armadillobag]

Thanks for including Armadillo Bag!

[@niteranger6376]

That home made was Rad!!

[@johnrpizzaguy]

I’m jealous I was in Ashland Oregon during that event. I won’t complain over my 12 hour drive to get back home to Pismo Beach California. Take care and thank you for the great videos

[@radar-yp9br]

Some states you can only use gas cans that are red

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Sounds oppressive. Lol

[@tylaroverturf]

The Armadillo bags aren't approved in the US for fuel transportation officially but doesn't mean you still couldn't use them.

[@tonyglover1393]

Matt, what other utube overlanding channels do you watch?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

All the guys we hung out with plus Lifestyle Overland, Venture 4wd, and Epic Family Road Trip.

[@karlanderson1791]

Did I miss that guy changing the end if your winch rope? It went by extremely fast.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I didn’t have time to include it all. I may do a special video for Patrons with the full instructions.

[@karlanderson1791]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I guess I can forgive you this time

[@weathermandoug96]

Nice to see all the new gear for a "newbie" like myself. Speaking of newbie,I have the Ecoflow Delta Mini and just received a new Iceco vl75 pro during last weeks Prime sale and when I try plugging the fridge into the dc port on the mini, I keep getting an overload error on the mini and it shuts off the outlet and thus the fridge. Is this a voltage or amperage thing? It runs on the ac power cord plugged into the ac inverter on the mini. Matt or anyone else have thoughts??? Love your videos

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Make sure you prechill the fridge before plugging it into the EcoFlow and make sure the fridge is set to Eco mode.

[@weathermandoug96]

Well I did both of those things...hmmm

[@cravenadventures]

Not Bend, Oregon. Redmond, Oregon is where it was at. Sorry I grew up in Redmond. Bend is 45mins away from the fair grounds and Redmond

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I’m aware. But no one knows where Redmond is. 🤷🏼‍♂️ people know where Bend is.

[@cravenadventures]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures But if people Just said Redmond then they would.

[@stephenswearengin8003]

Seems to be a good community of people

[@lilivicordero8077]

Awesome video

[@davidcarrico3385]

So I’ve been running a factor 55 loop guard with no hook for the same reason (the f55 pops off when I need to use the winch and I throw on a soft shackle) but I still have the metal frame around the loop. The video didn’t really show him taking it off (I haven’t even tried), is it super easy?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s not hard. They have an instructional video on their website.

[@lunamaria1048]

Nobody has to work on Saturday? Tell my boss that, please🤣

[@markedmo8192]

Homemade camper was awesome 😀

Loved yhe part were you went out to the camping area to show you don't need hundred thousand dollars to go do this it was awesome

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@projectsonepercent924]

Weather looked awesome from your video. How hot or cool was it? That might make my decision on where to go next year!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It was in the mid 80s during the day. Not bad at all.

[@overlandingearth8440]

How great is this the Exbo awesome Barry Bonds awesome at the same time super awesome, this was a great video y'all just being at the Exbo is super cool plus Mr. Bonds awesome, love seeing all the new, again thank you for another awesome video....

Really hate that the video didn’t show how to take the metal piece out of the winch rope. Talked about taking it out and just skipped right over it.

Didn’t have time to put the process in. They have a full video on their website.

Okay, The Overland Avengers (advengencers) is kinda cool. Im kinda surprised at how many of of them I follow or have watched.

[@mattdagger1480]

Still shocked you don’t Have well over 100k subs yet! So thankful I found the channel! Great content and super amazing people! You two keep killing it! And hopefully I have a chance to meet you two one day! If you all are ever up in Montana next year I’ll be there!!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks. We are getting there.

[@frenchie4wd]

Thank you!!!!!

[@ricecowboy]

So no one is gonna comment about the missing footage regarding the thimble removal? 😂

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s not missing. It was just too long to put the whole detailed process in the video. I’m going to make it a separate video that I release to our Patreon supporters.

[@ricecowboy]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures ha, no worries. It was just an abrupt jump cut I noticed since I was curious about the procedure. Thanks Fat Thor 😂
