In this edition of the Subie Scoop I give a visual recap of the event with Subaru of America from Overland EXPO West 2026 in Flagstaff, Arizona. This was such a great trip meeting new people and seeing people I hadn’t seen since last year at Overland EXPO East in Virginia.

Camp Subaru was elevated this year and was such an amazing space put together for all the campers and others who were truly blessed to experience Camp Subaru! The food was AMAZING!!! Not your typical camp food, this was gourmet food we all experienced! So, so good!!

The space for Subaru at the EXPO was also elevated with a permanent structure for the pet adoption, an area for genuine Subaru accessories, and more space for all the vehicles and people to move around with ease. There were three factory vehicles, all Wilderness editions; Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback. The Forester Hybrid that Carey Mtn Subi drove in the Rebelle Rally was also featured in the booth along with two owner vehicles, a Crosstrek Wilderness driven by Mercedes and Andy of Crankshaft Culture and a Forester Sport driven by Chris Silverroo Offroad.

There is more content to come from this event, so stay tuned…

This is going to be the shortest Soobie Scoop ever.

It's been a long few days for me at Overland Expo, so I wanted to at least post something

so that if you didn't see my story on Instagram on my podcast page, that if you're listening

to this, I can direct you to Instagram and check out The Real because I'm doing kind of like a

video Soobie Scoop this time for this Monday. So I didn't want to not put something out here

in case you just happen to tune in automatically because you want to check out the latest Soobie

So this is just to let you know that you can go and check out my Instagram Reel and see a snippet

of what went on this past weekend at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona 2026. I will say

because there's no audio with the video. I had a really good time. I met some new people. I was

able to see people I hadn't seen since last year and I got a lot of really good video content. I'm

going to be, I don't exactly know how I'm going to put it together, but I'm going to be putting

together some probably three separate long form videos on YouTube. One for the space that

Sooboo occupied at Overland Expo where they had the factory vehicles and the owner vehicles.

And then another long form video for the trail ride that we did out to edge of the world on

Thursday. And then yet another video for all of the activities that went on at Camp Sooboo

because I don't want to put it together all as one long video which I may end up doing that,

but I'm still not sure yet. So I'm either going to do one long video kind of like in

chronological order starting from Thursday and then going through the booth space at

Overland Expo and then Camp Sooboo or I'm going to end up doing three separate videos. I haven't

decided, but I'm also going to put together several shorter videos that I can put on Instagram

as Reels and then other videos I can put together on TikTok and then create some various YouTube

shorts. So I have a lot of footage and you know I'm going to have to edit a lot of it.

So I don't know exactly when I'm going to put that all together. I also did some audio recording

like I did last time and I will put that out as a bonus episode. So there's that and then I also

recorded episode 229 with somebody in person there at the end of the whole event on Sunday.

I recorded it kind of late afternoon and that was really really cool because it was somebody

that I got to see again that I hadn't seen since last year. Somebody that was at Overland Expo

in Loveland, Colorado last year got to meet up with this person again here at Overland Expo West.

So I said, hey, I want you to be my next guest and we will record on while I'm there. And so it

worked out well because I'm not coming home until today Monday and this person was not leaving until

Monday also. So we had Sunday afternoon to just take time and record and then after we ended

up recording we went and had dinner together. So it was really great to get some one-on-one time

with this person and because that's like you don't always get a chance to do that when you're at

events because a lot of times you see a whole bunch of different people and you talk to a bunch of

different people in little segments here and there. But because we both had time Sunday afternoon

we were able to record and then go spend some time together even further by having dinner together.

And that was really that was a really special moment and it really meant a lot. So

again, go check out my Instagram reel. I guess I'm doing a Soobie Scoop here. You know,

I said it was going to be really short and this is still short but go check out the Instagram

reel where you can see some video clips and little I've every single clip is a one and a half

seconds. So it's just really quick clips of like a brief recap of what happened or you know what went

on over the weekend and it's like a minute and seven seconds total. So go check it out,

comment, let me know what you think and thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next Monday

for episode 229 with the person that I recorded with in person at Overland Expo West 2026.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Much Soobie love.
