For the last few years, we’ve been setting up at several of the Overland Expos, from Arizona’s West to Oregon’s PNW, and finally on to Overland Expo East in Virginia as the year winds down.

The Overland Expos are outdoors, overlanding, and off-roading havens, filled with education, vendors, and camping. All of them are set in beautiful locations, perfect for enjoying scenery and each other.

Typically, at the ones we attend, Bronco Nation hosts a Bronco Basecamp and brings in some of the best to lead our trail drives: Bronco Off-Roadeo guides from any of the five Off-Roadeo locations.

In between drives, campfires, and movie nights at Basecamp, the community likes to browse the expo, picking up compressors, lighting, sleep pads, tents, cookware, winches, armor –– you name it; Overland Expo likely has it.

Overland Expo also hosts a ton of classes and courses, from changing tie rods to off-roading techniques and how to best pack a camper. Other than dropping (maybe too much) money, the weekend is a blast, and you’ll leave for home better prepared with gear and knowledge for your next time out.
