We also want to thanks all of the great brands that contributed gear to our raffle! What was your favorite part of Overland Expo West? What did you think of the new venue? Let us know in the comments!Ī serious THANK YOU goes out to Expedition Overland and Equipt Expedition Outfitters for letting American Adventurist join in on the End of the World Party. If you’ve read this far, you’ve earned it. I know that what you’re really here for is the photos, so feel free to just work that scroll wheel. And it’s the place where the person in front of you in line could have just ridden around the world and have some awesome stories to share. It’s an event where you can learn so much, be it driving skills or what the options are for expanding the capabilities of your rig. If I had to try and wrap it up in a few dozen carefully crafted chosen words and images, I would say this: It’s an outstanding event where you can meet real people who all share a common love of the outdoors and adventure travel. Overland Expo has grown to be an event that’s hard to capture in a single article-there’s just that much going on. Big budget is parked right next to big dreams, and everyone just seems stoked to be outside in sunny (and windy) Flagstaff. A quick walk through the woods leads you to the moto village, where all kinds of gear and demo bikes from KTM, BMW, and Ural await. Walk the vendor areas and you’ll find awesome products from some very big brands just down the aisle from a brand that’s launching on Kickstarter, working to get their first product to market. All of these events are attended by some great folks, and the small talk in the beer line typically turns into a great conversation with good people. Likewise, you would be hard pressed to even make an appearance at all of the social events where you’ll find tons of free adult beverages, and in the case of a certain End of the World Party, tons of free gear. There’s so much that happens at this event that there is no way you can attend all of the classes, from world renown instructors, on topics ranging from bushcraft to battery-powered stick welding. The sun seemed to be excited as well, considering that it decided to bless us with plenty of sunburn inducing radiation over the three days of Overland Expo West. It’s like someone just handed them the keys to a McLaren P1 and said “have fun.” They’ve built driving and skills courses that are, thanks to the new venue, “the best yet.” Consider me excited. You can hear it in their voices, and the way they talk about the classes that they’ll be teaching for the next few days. I’m talking to a couple of the driving instructors from Land Rover about the driving course for this year’s Overland Expo West, and I’m starting to get the impression that this year’s event is going to be different – in a good way. We’ll have a cold beer ready for you courtesy of Historic Brewing in Flagstaff, bring your cup! Editor’s Note: Enjoy the ride as we look back at last year’s event and remember what an incredible time everyone had at this great big “family reunion” in Arizona~ 2018 is shaping up to be even bigger so please stop by and say hi at the American Adventurist booth at site PS1.
