The Most Exciting Things at Overland Expo Mountain West 2024

[@briannagorman3119]

Some pretty cool stuff. Thanks for taking me along on this venture

[@iVisual.sambonkowski]

The amount of accessories and level of comport with Overland and outdoors these days is so high, so good, so luxurious and so comfortable, that I decided to just stay home. I get the same comfort at home...

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

But the views are better outdoors. 😂 Of course if you want to be uncomfortable that’s definitely a choice.

[@iVisual.sambonkowski]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures true. But it is getting a little bit ridiculous and very very commercialised . Don’t you think?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Hey, man, you don’t have to leave your recliner and iPad to adventure anymore. So many good KZbin adventure channels now!

[@DesertPackrat]

[@Playmudd4by4]

Great new items out there. Just in my own opinion. When you’re investing so much $$$ for items that we don’t really need. Some of us just forgot the fun factor. It’s suppose to be stress free. Just go out and have fun.

Glad I found your channel. Buying a raptor ranger in the next few weeks, so Overlanding is new to me, but did sprinter van life for a few years, so stoked to see this type of content

[@daywalker4029]

i've had the XL lite for over a year now. super happy with it. we added the cloud topper to the mattress and it has been super comfortable to sleep in.

[@Pinzman27]

I saw that airframe tent. It was amazing they were doing the same demo you showed. Might have to get that for my Crosstrek. Plus it was good chatting with you. Thanks for taking the time to chit-chat.

[@carlstanoyevic3070]

Great video, that is some of the coolest stuff I’ve ever seen. Thanks

[@peterbawden3864]

This is the video and products I have been waiting for!!!!!!!

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Im real skeptical of some of this stuff. The air blow up tents, well it loves to wind out here in the west, like really wind 30mph sustained is not abnormal. Suctions cups are cool, but kinda suck!! Not in a good way. If theres any dirt or dust or anything that gets in the way the performance is affected tremendously. The T Mat is a FANTASTIC idea. I really like that.

[@kevinshirey4151]

Matt thanks for the review I purchased the Tmat after seeing your review. I installed it into my Gladiator.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

Well, good morning. And it was good to meet you, Yeah, that was my first Overland expo, was a great time. Introduced us to a lot of things we did not know exist. And met a bunch of cool people and new friends & Stuff to make Overlanding very enjoyable. Sure liked the Sasquatch Trailers Dang, I just photo bombed your video at 14:50.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Interesting air frame RTT, feels like a bunch of stuffing around though compared to other fold over hard shells, and particularly that there's sub 40kg options on the market here now. Great to see all the other space save options starting to get around 👍 Looks like an awesome show!

[@thomasflippen4341]

Air frame tent is there a back up to run a manual pump if needed?

[@williamolliges2622]

The suction cups are the solution I’ve been waiting for since I don’t really want to install racks for rotopax and traction boards on my daily. As far as the interlocking system towards the end of the video, I’d probably double up and place my propane tank in a milk crate, and then use the system to keep the crate from sliding around rather than the round bucket supports.

[@cgillit]

Agreed. Those suction cup mounts are gamechangers. I hate drilling holes and screwing things into my build.

[@alexcosta7020]

How much is that air frame tent? That compact design gives me so many ideas. 118lbs is really nice as well.

[@Houswin]

The heater from 4x4 Colorado is good one, an economic device!

[@jasonmapotts]

Skipped right passed the Tmat packout mounts, Did they use the same clip system the packouts use?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not sure.

[@GATORADDAM]

I hate "reviews". But you made it fun. Great job.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks!

[@Winter-zv1dv]

FWIW, these aren’t “reviews”, these are recorded demos. A review would be after usage or at least make any attempt to explore potential weaknesses, like how to recover from a punctured airframe. This is just a video high five.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@Winter-zv1dv definitely not a review.

[@GATORADDAM]

@Winter-zv1dv That's kinda why the "reviews" is in quotation marks. But thanks for the educational lesson.

Hi Matt, we took your Gaia deep dive class and it was great! Thank you! What trash bag are you running on Sully?

[@jonathannolan3857]

That airframe tent is sweet

[@JTube571]

I might have to look into the Seasucker stuff, especially the Rotopax mount. Would be nice to use for extended trips where extra fuel might be needed, and it's temporary so don't need to have the fuel canisters on the car at all times.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

You should!

[@TheOffroadCamper]

I’ve long thought about making a trailer shell from extrusion and foam composite panels maybe extrusion overland could help with that. I am painfully aware that the trailer shell on my current off-road trailer is not going to last forever. I’m doing repairs on a weekly basis.

[@bluecruiser2019]

We just did two trips up on the Flat Tops and now heading to the Alvord Desert and Owyhee Canyonlands. Saw you guys at Expo in Loveland, but🤷‍♂️😊

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Have fun!

[@SMafam5]

Saveaqua is to me the tiniest most useful item for everyone! For those of us mainstream who have not yet bought the Dometic or other fancy USB faucet/water dispensers. And we are SO weary dealing with those Walmart water container faucets that break and leak and don’t tighten to the right direction! 🤣 SAVEAQUA is our answer to solve so many water dispensing issues.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've seen it at other expos but they weren't at this one. It's a cool product for sure.

[@Austin-gb1cq]

19:00 Hi, how much was it and how far does it recline? I’d love to buy a couple.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s not released yet. The recline can be fully adjusted to almost straight up to very reclined.

[@womanofchangeministries702]

I have an ICECO also. Love it. Biggest reason I picked them is customer service and 5yr warranty on compressor. Did you say you dropped yours and they replaced it? No questions asked?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Yes but remember that I'm sponsored by them so I don't know that user damage is covered under the normal warranty.

[@jackthefunshack8618]

@stevemurray2737 places like costco do sell heavy duty carports that you do set up like a tent. They are big & bulky & heavy. It's probably not ideal for overlanding. I am interested in a tent such as you described too!

Hello Matt. I was at this Expo. I sat next to you at the lunch Hall. I wanted to chat with you some but you were talking to a guy that you camp with so I didn't want to be rude. I know a couple that was at the same table, Dustin. I hope I have a chance to meet you again and chat a little.

About that diesel heater..... Combustion intake is too long and has unnecessary bends. Bends on the exhaust could cause trouble. Exhaust should also be pointing down not up. Air output hose seems too long and all those bends could cause issues with the heater. Lots of heat will also be lost on the way to the tent.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I used it this weekend. It's totally fine to lose heat on the way to the tent because it's SUPER hot!! LOL

@SeaSucker products are so amazing! There are so many options. Just like you said, there's no need to drill any holes. We have their 3 & 5 gallon RotopaX mount, shovel/flag mount, universal suction cups great for everything, especially tying things down, the Naked Flex monitor mount. So nice to be able to move them around from rig to rig or just take them off after a trip. Brilliant and best part made in Florida US! We're scheduled to be in their booth at Overland Expo East with my 2019 Ford Ranger. We can't wait for your XO.SKELETON. Guessing that will be going on the newest newest Gladiator 🤫 😂 🛻+⛺️=🙂!

I’ve got a 3 year old inflatable paddle board that’s been drug over rocks, into trees, etc that says otherwise. This isn’t made out of your pool floaties.

[@marceld6061]

That inflatable tent is *STILL* way too heavy. My Free Spirit Recreation Odyssey is only 134lbs. There is another inflatable I know of, Gentle Tent, It's only 68lbs.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

How is 118lbs "way too heavy"? It's lighter than your Free Spirit. The GT tent is nice but VERY expensive, does not have a hard floor for half the tent, and the pump isn't integrated into the tent and not being counted in the weight of the tent.

[@marceld6061]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Yes, I admitted that it was lighter than my tent by a whopping 16 pounds. But compare it to the FSR Aspen Lite at only 100 lbs. and it becomes the porker by *18 pounds* There are no air bladders that could leak, a similar: size; shape; materials/construction and price. The Atmos Air is 37 pounds lighter than the smaller version of the Intrepid tent that you have- so a better demonstration of weight savings? But compared to only 68 lbs of that European one? That's crazy light. You have more than a lot of room to carry a pump and still be ahead. Sure, they are expensive- I know I won't be buying one anytime soon! One other "deception" in these tent demos that gets me? They always show them at waist high. I had a soft shell in the past and when it was over your head I found them a lot harder to pack away. Love your content Matt, (especially Goose and Izzy)and all I am saying is that there are others options for lightweight tents if you *really* want to save weight. 👍🏾

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@marceld6061 Yes there are other lightweight options and everyone's needs are going to be different. You aren't going to put an Intrepid like mine on a Rav4. The Aspen Lite is a smaller tent when open. There's compromises no matter which option you choose and this is simply another option. And more options are good for the consumer. Aside from the GT (which I had never heard of before) this new tent is ONE of the lightest options available and provides more interior space than anything other than the GT tent. I appreciate your opinion but think your claim of "way too heavy" is just silly when compared to anything other than the GT.
