Marco, is that you?
How are you?
I know it's been a while since we talked,
but I've been busy.
Life, all that.
I know I said I was back and I didn't come back.
You see Evelyn right here?
I don't know if I'm back now or not either,
but I've been thinking about it.
No, we'll go straight.
I'm actually at Overland Expo West.
Do you remember when you used to be in May?
I think it was in May.
Anyway, I was at 17 and 18.
19, I was in Japan.
20 got canceled and 21, they put it off until the fall.
So here we are.
What is the date?
September 24th, Friday, September 24th.
And my name is Jason Kerchey.
Anyway, we're here at Overland Expo West
and we're gonna look around.
And I just turned nine.
That's true, and I just turned 42.
You can tell I'm getting a little long in the tooth here.
So I'm actually super excited to be here
because like I said, it's been a while.
And it's also kind of nice
because I've been slow on YouTube and on the Instagram
and almost nobody recognizes me because of the beard.
So that's been kind of refreshing.
Kind of walk around a little bit in anonymity.
Anyway, I'm gonna kind of vlog today,
walk you around, show you the event.
And then I'm also gonna do some rig walk-around videos.
They'll be in a different videos.
But right now, right now, we're gonna go take a look
at something I have been greatly anticipating.
You guessed it, full-size Alucab canopy camper
on a full-size truck.
Tiny Rig Co. right here
has put this on their shop Power Wagon.
And I am beyond excited.
But you're gonna have to wait for the rig walk-around
because it's gonna come, like I said, on another video.
What do you guys think?
It's awesome.
Is this next, Cory?
Hey, what's up?
How's it going?
Hi.
Everybody remember Cory?
Yeah.
AKA Overland Dad.
Hey, how's it going?
Super bright.
Here we go.
So you just put a fancy camper on yours.
I did.
You're gonna get rid of it and get one of these?
I don't know.
It's pretty sweet.
It's really rad.
I like it.
So this is the Alucab full-size canopy camper.
Yeah, they're calling it the canopy cabin.
The canopy cabin.
Because it's capacious like a cabin.
Exactly.
Well, I am super duper duper excited
to take a better look at this.
Am I pushing a button?
And so we're gonna do a rig walk-around video of this.
Very, very detailed.
So you're gonna have to check back on another video,
but I just wanted to give you a little teaser.
By the way, this is Daniel with TinyRigCo.
He's also seekoutbeauty on Instagram.
You can check him out.
He's got a sweet Tacoma roof.
We'll take a look at that in a second, too.
You like my freedom samples?
I like the splash of color.
Yep.
And the freedom of toes.
I did the custom-making ones.
Really?
The Chaco custom-made ones.
Oh, really?
They were $10 more, $20 more.
They look so comfortable.
They're exactly what I wanted.
Yeah, a little splash of color.
I like it.
It's Micah.
Overland, under budget.
I'll show you his Tacoma later.
It's sweet.
We saw this one on Instagram.
Yeah, what are you guys doing?
Whoa.
Are y'all playing?
Whoa.
What are you guys doing?
Waiting for me to bring you guys on a walk?
Yes.
Should we go walk around?
Mm-hmm.
All right, we need to ask your mom.
Make sure it's cool.
No, my mom's okay with it.
I asked her.
Okay.
All right.
What do you say we do a little Rigs of Expo West action?
I think that's a great idea.
Oh, look at that.
What do you know?
We did a walk-around video of this at SEMA 20,
what was that?
SEMA 2018?
This is a cool, cool Jeep.
You don't see these every day.
When you open it, the demand would turn on.
You let off.
As soon as you feel pressure, it shuts off.
And it's just a handy.
And they're like 25 bucks on them, so it's gross.
Yeah, like a little on-demand water pump.
Remember that rig?
Oh, wait, check it out.
We got the potty man.
He was the thumbnail of my last Expo video three years ago.
Oh, you're good.
You want a picture?
I wasn't offering for real.
I was just joking.
He was like, no, I'm good.
This is so much bigger in person.
Wowee.
Justice.
Hey, how's it going, Jason?
Here we are.
It is so, it's so big.
Right?
That's what she said.
It's because it's proportionate in pictures.
So you don't realize how big it is
until you walk up to it.
What are you running?
Are these 40s?
So they're actual size 41 and a half.
Wow.
So they're 335, 80, 20 tires.
41.4 actual size.
Okay.
20 inch rim.
Correct.
Okay.
They're 20 by 10 beadlock wheels.
Actually beadlock?
Correct.
Yeah.
So they're three piece pulled together wheels,
and then we run an inner beadlock as well.
Wow.
This thing is a monster.
Oh, thank you.
That is definitely a compliment.
Does you have a, like a jack?
What is that?
No, so we used to run a slide in truck camper.
Oh, so that was the mount.
Yeah, so we left the mount on there
just because it's a little extra protection on the side
if we ever were to hit a rock over there.
So instead of tearing off the bedside,
kind of hit the truck camper mount,
figured no reason to remove it.
I like those light force lights up there like that.
I like that.
Is that?
No, you're, the roof rack.
Instead of a bar, you've got those.
And they are amazing up there.
So they put out a lot more light as well,
but the look of having running multiple lights up top,
I think just looks a lot better than running a big light bar.
We've got the dead man.
Yeah, so, you know, I'm, I don't know how bright it is.
I can't really see because it's so bright out.
It's so bright out.
But I'm here with the dead man guys and I'm walking by
and they're like, dude, we got a new design.
We got to show you guys.
Yeah, we actually launched it at the last expo
at Mountain West, but this is our second show,
obviously showing it.
So yeah, let me show you what it is.
Yeah, so I just got finished
hanging out with the dead man guys.
And my other one, I had a little vermin,
varmint get into it whenever it was in storage.
And so I picked up a new one.
These things are, they're pretty sweet.
Highly recommend you check them out.
I've got a detailed video.
They have a new design that they just came out with.
And you'll have to wait for the video on that.
Maybe I'll upload it in a couple of days.
We'll see how that lays, how that falls, whatever.
Man, this camera and tripod setup,
it's like, I don't know how much it weighs,
but maybe I'm out of shape.
I'm having a hard time holding it up
and getting my shoulder workout today, huh?
Hey, how are you?
How you doing?
Jason, what up?
Yeah, I know Jason.
You recognize the beard?
Yeah, even with the beard, I recognize you.
They have chopped a 200 series in half
and put a something or other.
Actually, there's a Navy series here.
Mule Expedition Outfitters, I think is what they're called.
They did the same thing.
Maybe I'll show you that in a little while.
It's been a good day.
It's been hot, hot, hot, hot.
Oh, here we go.
I'm gonna go get some water.
Thanks for giving her attention, guys.
I'm beat.
This has been an awesome first day at Overland Expo West.
Man, I miss these events.
It's been a lot of fun.
A lot of people.
I don't know if it's busier or less busier
than the last time I was here.
I'm not really sure.
I should find somebody to ask them
what attendance numbers are.
I bet it's pretty good.
Anyway, had a lot of fun.
Met RC cars racing around.
Met a lot of really awesome people.
And interestingly enough,
even though I've been super dry on the content
the last 18 months,
a lot of you great people have come up and said hello.
People still remember me.
It was kind of fun.
Shot a couple one-offs.
Trying to think.
I think I only did one rig.
I only did one rig walk around.
That's the AluCab.
That's coming up.
AluCab cabin camper.
And let me adjust this down here for you.
And I've got some more things
that I want to shoot in detail for you.
Tomorrow's another day.
I am wiped out.
We're gonna go find some dinner.
And I hope you enjoyed this sort of return of the vlog.
I hope y'all enjoyed that first video
of my comeback tour.
I don't know.
No promises.
I don't know that it's a comeback tour.
But I've got several things coming up here.
And let's see if I can.
So I've got several videos coming up.
I've got a detailed video of the dead man.
Got several walkarounds,
including of the new AluCabin camper.
Of the full size.
That's gonna be a really, really sweet one.
A Terra camper from AT Overland.
Couple of vehicles.
And then I've got some stuff from Expo East,
including rig walk around videos as well.
So I probably have six to nine videos coming up.
And then I've got a couple of trips planned.
Things that I'm gonna share with you.
And including some storytelling
on what we've got going on here.
You can't see it behind me,
but we cleared two acres of trees back there.
And I've logged that as well.
So with that, we'll see you guys in the next video.
Sam, are you playing in your holes?
Here's your charging cable, Lily.
Thank you.
Are you playing in your holes?
I'm scared!
Whoa, what's going on here?
