By the way, Persephone and I really want to reiterate how phenomenal this overland community is. We have made so many friends over the years, and it's always such fun to see everyone....Lance, Zach, Dave, Phil, Paul, Ben, Clark, Anthony, Martyn, Clayton, John, Doug, Jay, Alice, Carla, etc, etc - the list gets bigger and bigger every year!

We had a great time this weekend! The Rendezvous Conspiracy was there in force, I lost track of how many Rendezvous shirts I saw on saturday
Overland Gourmet BLEW IT UP with food and parties each night (Rendezvous camp on thursday, Bundu Gear and Snow Peak on Friday) culminating in the GIANT "End of the World" party Saturday night with Equipt and the Maya Rally - we cooked and served food for what must have been hundreds of people.
Zach and Clint of OVG were backed up by Mark, Justin, Robert, Mike, Mitch and Apryl - HUGE THANKS to the Conspiracy for coming out in force and helping Overland Gourmet feed so many hungry Overlanders! :bowdown:
Paul and Ben from Equipt kept their famous Tiki Bar rolling through the night with Cuba Libres and copious amounts of refreshments for all. The combined efforts of Overland Gourmet/Equipt/Maya Rally delivered what had to be the biggest overland party ever. Kudos to all who worked and to all who came and made it such a blast!
There had to have been at least 2-3 times more vehicles/people/vendors/gear/training/food/everything this year and the venue was PERFECT! Huge thanks to the Hansons and crew for all the hard work, you guys rock and your event is top notch.
We'll be back!
Great job, Saturday night was certainly one of the Highlights of the weekend

Any word on the gentleman's name in the 'chair? Was it Bob perhaps? I think he looks like a guy from a backpacking forum I post on. Great guy. Very motivational and accomplished.

I didn't speak with him directly. I listened in while he explained the trike to some people who were interested. We watched him pull in and then eavesdropped.
Here's a CU of the flyer:
His name is Vince. We did a full video interview of him for Expo. Very inspirational indeed.

Team Equipt wanted to thank everybody that came out to our "End of the World Party" Saturday night! We also want to thank the guys at Overland Gourmet (Zach & Clint) and their Rendezvous Conspiracy! Also, Christian and the Maya Rally folks! This party took a huge group effort and we all worked and succeeded as a team.
We had no idea how huge the participation would be when we came up with the idea while deep in the jungles of Guatemala. Thank you all!!!
A few pics that I took with my snappy while at the EXPO:

I was camped near him, and talked to him. His Name is Chris, company is Backcountry Fabrication out of Montana. It is all aluminum frame, and skin including the pop up. He built it about 5 years ago for an Alaska trip but was talking about possibly using it as a prototype.
