My "surprise" was a Canyon roller cooler! Great price with no shipping costs and some show discount too!

Sounds like a different experience than mine. Yes, it was windy, a little rainy, and a tad cold in the mornings and evenings. In terms of pricing, if you want a $500,000 or $1,000,000 overlanding rig, that show can hook you up. On the flip side, there were a lot of vendors there that sold...

Walmart has cheap 3-packs. I might check a Hobby Lobby in the future for an alternate source. Thanks for the tip.

I will also note that Flagstaff seemed to be ruled by pretty heavy-handed show organizers who seemed to be corporate shills, so not as welcoming as other shows I have been too

I had a great time at Flagstaff and met a lot of vendors there. Great selection of the stuff too. The venue was a bit scattered and it made finding specific vendors hard using the map and aisle numbers. Camping wasn't nearly as crowded as I expected, but it was pretty far from the venue...

Reports suggest is works better and has better wind protection, along with things like Magnetic butane canister attachment.

I'm looking for a good single burner that uses those cheap butane disposable tanks you commonly see at buffet tables and similar places. The Kovea X-On Portable Stove looks like it might be a good option for me. Specifically, does it work in cold weather? What about high altitude? Does it...

Regarding Canada, outside of the coasts, central Canada has been pretty friendly and welcoming to me. I will say that was my experience before Trump started talking about making Canada our "51st state". I was pretty reluctant to venture into Canada around the Great Lakes though during...

How do Tariffs impact these Aussie-built trailers?

I am looking for a hard shell RTT for a trip through Alaska and back from Texas being likely with a possible adventure going South pending political considerations through the Darien Gap and places less friendly to Americans. The RTT needs real 4-season capability to deal with rain and snow...

As usual, I hooked up with an AWESOME group out in the camper area over the long weekend.

There are shuttle bus details on their website. Seems like I remember seeing 3 drop-off/pick-up spots. I'm camping there so, be sure to confirm details on their website as my camping directions changed between reserving my spot and getting my most recent email from them with updated directions...

I have been told the Flagstaff event has larger crowds than what I see at the MTN West event in Ft. Collins, CO. Traffic to get in is apt to be pretty bad.

Thanks! Really helpful!

How do those two compare? I was looking at the High Performance version for my Overlander before things went haywire in my personal life with inflation and other COVID-related stuff.

Is the Mini now the only antenna available? What happened to the High Performance and the Standard antenna receivers? Is the Mini antenna really a replacement for those in Vehicle and Remote installations that are not commercial?

Tariffs on foreign vehicles made before 2000 don't apply to new imports into the USA?

In the past, a couple of years before COVID, I was actively looking for a Series 70 Land Cruiser and the few I found in good running condition were overseas and out of my price range. I did find a Series 70 Troop transport in France that was apparently an NGO vehicle out of Africa but, at...

I have been thinking about getting an old-school HiLux and most likely a clean one is coming out of Japan or the Mid-East. I know shipping and everything else is in turmoil with tariffs and various shipping/logistics issues. CONUS options are exceedingly difficult to find in a reasonable...

Sounds like my past attendance at the Fort Collins, CO Expo events. Some serious mud there a few times, and high winds as well on other visits.
