When I switched from a percolator to a French press on camping/overlanding trips it really made me ask myself why I took so long to make the change. It also really improved my wife’s perception of overlanding.
So, has Regina retired and has more time to be away? Whatever the case, it’s super cool to see the both of you out there campin and exploring. Couples camping!
Brad, I’m thrilled to see Regina on the channel, and happy to hear she’s be transitioning into semi retirement. I love the way Josh has incorporated red lights on his tailgate. It’s a nice way of having some light to work from, yet not harsh enough to be overpowering or blinding at night.
So glad to see you Regina enjoying your retirement with your husband Brad...I'm looking forward to all these wonderful destinations you have planned...Looks like I'll finally get to see the Great USA in a very special way...Stay safe...have fun...love your new chapter in life...HUGS...
This was my first overland expo. I traveled there from Dallas because I wanted to see all the products I've been seeing online in person and figure out what works for me. I've had the pleasure of stopping by your set-up and saying hi to you and Regina. That was one of the highlights for me so thank you
First off, love that Regina is traveling more with you. What an inspiring example of love. Secondly, of all the great technology Josh has, did he not have an aftermarket code reader on hand? I would definitely recommend folks to get one so you can be more self sufficient. Glad it was nothing too serious.
You and Regina reflect us! My wife is now going out with me RVing (Not over landing, yet.) and hitting the off-road trails. We did Poison Spider and Hells Revenge and with the exception of a few gasps she’s loving it. 😃 Happy guy! 😎
Nice too see Regina along with you again. It looks like she's getting into it. And the Expo looked like a lot of fun. It's so good to see things opening up.
Glad to see you made it to this side of the state. Thanks for the tour of the Expo, and great to see Regina in front of the camera as well. Until next time..... you and Regina Travel Safe.
I think the biggest downside to the whole overland market is the prices. It feels like the market has made the switch from what's simple, effective, and well engineered to who has the fanciest gadgets that offer the most comfort. Again to me, it's about great gear that works and allows for longer trips and not what gadgets/tech you have. Its gear not toys. It seems like there's more costly toys than great gear these days.
I'm becoming addicted to your videos and your life style. When I grow up, I want to be like you mr. Brad, just have to get myself an overland rig and a wife. 😅
I drove all the way from south Missouri for this expo. It was my first solo camping trip ever and my first time driving over 3 hours(it was an 11 hour trip one way) and I would do it all over again tomorrow if I could. It was an amazing experience that opened a new passion for me and I can’t wait. I was parked right across that white XJ
Thank you ! Awesome content and video ! I always look forward to receiving your video’s. It’s so cool how your son and wife go on these outings with you from time to time. I enjoy the walk arounds, so many folks have inspiring ideas that I try to incorporate into my rig. So cool !!
Glad you've retired the percolator. Life's too short to drink bad coffee when you have a choice. That carbon fiber hard side roof top tent was very cool. Here's hoping a more affordable version comes to market.
Great show the rigs people build are cool to see different interpretations and what works for them. Just in the short time we decided to move forward with our overlander box van conversion camper build we have looked at more of the smaller gear trying to sort out the must haves, needs, wants, and dream land haves. 😀
That blue taco and puppy in the background were me and my wife's! Nice little surprise while watching the expos post videos. Great vibe from your videos, little subscribe button hit!
I was lucky to be able to work at the Jackary booth at the Flagstaff Overland Expo 2019. We stayed 5 days free. It was the 1st time I ever saw a Sherp! And I got to test drive a Cake e-motorcycle. Within 6mo I bought a Sur Ron X e-bike. 5200 watts of power, 45mph. Amazing bike! Love that expo!
Wow appreciate you sharing, just setting up back of my 01 Silverado Z 71, this has given me some great ideas I’ll be following for more happy camping keep it safe
The fire restrictions are getting so tight in California National forests. A propane fire pit is one of the only options if there is high fire danger. Always check online to see the current fire alert/restrictions before you go,
Super cool spot Brad!!! Glad to see you and your Wife Regina doing more traveling together..... Looks like the overland expo in Co was a good show, can't wait for the show in Fort Tuthill. Hope to see you and Marco there. Awesome Video as always Brad!!!
Just fell on your site since I am trying hot talk the misses into off road camping. Oh ya. We worked together at some time when you was a Senior and I was a Chief. Can’t remember where… I am better with faces than name and places.
Cool video. My wife and I want to attend one of these next year. We bought the Coleman stainless French press for our trips. It's nice cause it can sit right on the fire to heat the water. Down side, usually have to make 2 or 3 batches but it's all good. Awesome Regena is traveling with you. I love the time my wife and I spend traveling.
Hey, you cut my Conqueror out of the shot at the 3 minute mark! Expo was awesome, I think I’ve made a last minute decision to go to West as well. Too much cool stuff to see. Cool video bud.
Going on a trip myself in a couple of weeks. Right now all the National Forests in California are closed due to extreme fire danger so its going to have to be out of state. I just ordered one of those propane fire pits. You mentioned ADV bikes. This is how I really started with overlanding. I owned and rode ADV bikes for years, still have one. But as you get older, falling off gets exponentially harder...
I was there on Saturday. Sorry I missed you. This expo was only 30 minutes from home. Great event. Like you, I was looking for more small items. Hope it’s back in Loveland next year.
Looks like the weather was great. That's always a crap shoot, since the event is planned so far in advance. Thanks for looking at the smaller items. All the other tours I've watched so far concentrated on the bigger "wow" items and rigs.
It was in the mid 90's during the day, a bit hot to walk around. I wish there had been more smaller new innovative items to showcase.... hopefully at Expo West in Flagstaff we can find some.
@TrailRecon i can't believe i missed you. We were literally at every place but obviously different times. Would have been cool to send best wishes in-person. Saturday was hot @ 94°
Awesome video gorgeous area, have to say you an Regina are the new ken an Barbie of over landing great looking couple, cool she has the time to get away enjoy an as always be safe 👍👍👍
Great to get to see what Overland West has to offer. Overlanding is definitely something I am building towards. It allows me to stay off road and camp and enjoy the great outdoors. Will you be making it to Overland East this year? Looking forward to your next video!
Amazing video, your editing is great and can't wait till you come back to AZ, and hope that next time you are joining Summit 4x4 for an adventure that I will be in there too!!!
New subscriber who is really enjoying your videos. Great content and excellent photography. Looking forward to receiving my Bronco so I can do some off roading. Well done.
Glad you got to enjoy more of Colorado. Bummed I didn't run into you guys at Expo, but you're a popular man anyway! Everyone must have wanted to talk to you. 😁 Also, I was surprised at how huge it was! Great first year in Colorado! I think they should do it in the Fall next time though. It was HOT! 😆 Plus our state is so beautiful in the Fall.
We actually just chilled at the campsite most of the time, was kind of nice. I totally agree, I didn't expect the event to be that large, something tells me it will be even bigger if they do it again next year. Love Colorado!
That carbon fiber RTT is cool, if you're into RTTs. I watched a TFL video where they interviewed one of the owners. They can make that 19k price rise to almost 40k with all the extras. My great dane can't climb ladders so I use a ground tent.
No more percolating coffee !?! That's a signature move of yours. Kind of a throw back to cowboy coffee.... and cough cough frying steaks 🥩. P.S. I fried a steak and it was good. I got more of the seasoning/butter flavor while a grilled steak is more singular in the flavor profile, smoke & beef. Their both good and very different. Can't go wrong either way if you're outdoors gazing at stars.
I wish there was an East Coast Trail Recon correspondent. It's just seems so regional and relegated to the West Coast. There's an Overland Expo East but you wouldn't know it because it doesn't get a fraction of the coverage.
I'm really hoping to see some bed caps and solutions around those at Expo West. As cool as campers are, I do not want to deal with taking that thing on and off my truck and finding somewhere to put it when there's a perfectly good truck bed I can put a simple platform on with some 4x8 and a mattress.
$19,000 for a roof top tent with a fan. Am I the only one who thinks that is insane? Great video Brad 👍🏻
I’d rather put that money into my rig and go with something more reasonably priced.
i think he misspoke $1900.00 im thinking
@@josephpaul6791 🤣🤣🤣
My entire rig, including the truck, didn't cost that much.
@@josephpaul6791 the Redtail tent is $19 thousand, and some go up to $30 thousand for a roof top tent, crazy expensive
Brad, so happy to see Regina out with you in that amazing landscape! Quality time. Warms my heart.
We are so happy to be able to do more of these adventures together.
Another reason to keep watching! You always take us to all the new places that some of us have never gotten to visit and we thank you.
Hopefully you'll get to go to some of these places one day!
When I switched from a percolator to a French press on camping/overlanding trips it really made me ask myself why I took so long to make the change. It also really improved my wife’s perception of overlanding.
Aeropress. I have one in my camping kit. All the benefits of a French press with zero cleanup. You just pop the spent puck into the trash.
So, has Regina retired and has more time to be away? Whatever the case, it’s super cool to see the both of you out there campin and exploring. Couples camping!
She has sort of retired, but yes, she's going to be joining me a lot more in the future, which I am so excited for.
I’ve resigned from my dream job as a civil servant to pursue a new dream! 😁
Brad, I’m thrilled to see Regina on the channel, and happy to hear she’s be transitioning into semi retirement.
I love the way Josh has incorporated red lights on his tailgate. It’s a nice way of having some light to work from, yet not harsh enough to be overpowering or blinding at night.

Aunt Denise? Is that you?
Regina is a gem !!! So glad you are traveling together and making videos with her in them. Thanks for the videos ! Off to the new webpage .
Thanks for taking us along. It so cool that you are looking for the everyday things that we can use. Plus it's always good to see Regina.

It was great to have here along and 100% agree, so nice to be able to attend an event like this again.
You always find the best spots Brad, we appreciate the videos. Thank you.
Glad to see you made it to this side of the state. Thanks for the tour of the Expo, and great to see Regina in front of the camera as well. Until next time..... you and Regina Travel Safe.
We used some inflatable Kayak’s this summer. Pleasant surprise at how well they were made! Thanks for the video.
I've never liked red on any vehicle. The red on that Wrangler just looks so good in every setting . 😍
Thanks so much for featuring us, you made Mako look look amazing! It was great meeting you, happy trails! 😄
I agree with the rest. MORE Regina! I can see her inspire so many people like my fiancé as much as you have inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
It will get larger, Loveland is a great spot to have an event like this along with The Ranch. You can't beat it.
So happy to see Regina happy and laughing joining you! Cheers from Colombia!

Sooo pumped for the new Recon website. I am excited to see what you have. This is long overdue and I hope it's a huge success.
Thank you!
Wow appreciate you sharing, just setting up back of my 01 Silverado Z 71, this has given me some great ideas I’ll be following for more happy camping keep it safe
I have a Four Wheel Camper but I’d trade it for the crusty classic in the thumbnail! Excited to see your Expo journey.
I swear I heard “what kind of booze and vehicles are going to be there” 😂😂
Thanks for another awesome video Brad
Same :)
So did the subtitles 🤣🤣🤣
I heard the same thing. I think he said "booths" LOL.
LOL!
That's what I heard too!
Today's video didn't disappoint. Unfortunately for me after discovering your channel last week I have binged watched all of your episodes. 👍
Welcome aboard!
Amazing! Now I’m getting the itch to make a trip 😎
Go Regina! Woot woot... You're an overlander now. Pretty soon we'll be seeing your yellow jk all outfitted and Brad barely keeping up ha ha ha.
I would highly highly recommend that you get a Solo Stove. With all of these beautiful trips you should always be able to have a real wood fire 🔥.
The fire restrictions are getting so tight in California National forests. A propane fire pit is one of the only options if there is high fire danger. Always check online to see the current fire alert/restrictions before you go,
So cool to people out enjoying outside
Thanks for sharing this amazing video.👍
Really enjoy the videos with you and your wife. Hoping it will inspire my wife to join me!
Super cool spot Brad!!! Glad to see you and your Wife Regina doing more traveling together..... Looks like the overland expo in Co was a good show, can't wait for the show in Fort Tuthill. Hope to see you and Marco there. Awesome Video as always Brad!!!
Great meeting you guys at the Expo.
So glad we got to connect!
Just fell on your site since I am trying hot talk the misses into off road camping. Oh ya. We worked together at some time when you was a Senior and I was a Chief. Can’t remember where… I am better with faces than name and places.
I figured it out DOC.... BHR
I was born and raised in Loveland! Enjoy my hometown!!
Cool video. My wife and I want to attend one of these next year.
We bought the Coleman stainless French press for our trips. It's nice cause it can sit right on the fire to heat the water. Down side, usually have to make 2 or 3 batches but it's all good. Awesome Regena is traveling with you. I love the time my wife and I spend traveling.
And Regina exercised the wife prerogative! Got to love it!
welcome to my home town!! I was in buena vista with friends during this (just bad timing lol) but glad you liked it here!
Looks amazing, so much to see
The french press is awesome an makes coffee taste yummy!!🇨🇦
How cool to bring your wife and her needs!
What a wonderful life! How hope i can join your trip!
Miss Marco and his camp cooking. ....hope he is doing well.
Would love to attend the Expo.
Marco is doing great, but family and work have been a bit of a priority recently.
Love the videos Brad. Keep killing it.
Josh sure seems to be a camp chef!!!
He and Regena made some great meals this trip!
Hey, you cut my Conqueror out of the shot at the 3 minute mark! Expo was awesome, I think I’ve made a last minute decision to go to West as well. Too much cool stuff to see. Cool video bud.
Hope to you see you at West!
I’ve been using that Stanley press for years, it’s so legit! Best way to make bean juice! As always, amazing videos!
Going on a trip myself in a couple of weeks. Right now all the National Forests in California are closed due to extreme fire danger so its going to have to be out of state. I just ordered one of those propane fire pits. You mentioned ADV bikes. This is how I really started with overlanding. I owned and rode ADV bikes for years, still have one. But as you get older, falling off gets exponentially harder...
Ya, bummer about the CA forests, hopefully we get some rain soon. Safe travels on your upcoming trip!
We recently got the Stanley French press. Great product. We love it.
I was there on Saturday. Sorry I missed you. This expo was only 30 minutes from home. Great event. Like you, I was looking for more small items. Hope it’s back in Loveland next year.
Loving all the camping videos lately, I’ve been mobbin around camping in my honda fit taking as many drone clips as possible 😂
Looks like the weather was great. That's always a crap shoot, since the event is planned so far in advance.
Thanks for looking at the smaller items. All the other tours I've watched so far concentrated on the bigger "wow" items and rigs.

Brad: I'm looking for something small
Shows us a $19k roof top tent. Brad, I think we have a little different definition of what is small. LOL
@TrailRecon i can't believe i missed you. We were literally at every place but obviously different times. Would have been cool to send best wishes in-person. Saturday was hot @ 94°
So close to our place, we are in Eagle! Can’t wait to go to that Expo next year!
Lots of cool stuff at the expo. The camper shown at 13:26 is by ROC Trailers
Great! Hope to make Expo West in Flagstaff in a couple of weeks.
As always, fantastic informative videos!!!!! Love the new hat too, I need one…… I’m off to the new website!
Darn, my friend and I were planning on attending but plans changed. Definitely got to go next year!
I went to high school in Loveland at Mountain View High! Hope you enjoy:)
Awesome video gorgeous area, have to say you an Regina are the new ken an Barbie of over landing great looking couple, cool she has the time to get away enjoy an as always be safe 👍👍👍
Thank you! So thankful that she is going to be able to join me more often!
2nd reman in my WJ blew up 10 days before my trip out there! Careful what you buy. Sorry I couldn't make it fellas.
Great to get to see what Overland West has to offer. Overlanding is definitely something I am building towards. It allows me to stay off road and camp and enjoy the great outdoors. Will you be making it to Overland East this year? Looking forward to your next video!
I thought you would be driving one of those giant rigs out of there. Great video.
Amazing video, your editing is great and can't wait till you come back to AZ, and hope that next time you are joining Summit 4x4 for an adventure that I will be in there too!!!
I love the plug for Marcos cook book.
Been waiting to watch a new episode!
New subscriber who is really enjoying your videos. Great content and excellent photography. Looking forward to receiving my Bronco so I can do some off roading. Well done.
Nice👍
Success is always
I was at Expo on Saturday. It was my first time, I thought it was great. Hoping to make West next year.

The small items make trips more comfortable sometimes.
That Chinook’s a sweet little rig!
100% agree!
I love your videos man!! Keep it up!
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Welcome to Colorado! Or, rather, welcome to the eastern side of the Rockies!
Love CO!
No more percolating coffee !?! That's a signature move of yours. Kind of a throw back to cowboy coffee.... and cough cough frying steaks 🥩.

I wish there was an East Coast Trail Recon correspondent. It's just seems so regional and relegated to the West Coast.
There's an Overland Expo East but you wouldn't know it because it doesn't get a fraction of the coverage.
Yay!
“Josh was having problems with the jeep”
Me:: oooff lol
Is great 1 stop shop sounds good
I agree that French press is the way to go!
I'm really hoping to see some bed caps and solutions around those at Expo West.

@9:02 That's Arkansas Offroad's Tacoma😍
Awesome thanks for sharing we will see you there would love to meet up!
Unfortunately, we won't be there this year but hope you enjoy the Expo!
