Overland Expo 2011

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

The weekend of April 1-3 we attended our first Overland Expo showing off all the gear we have to offer from luxury camping to minimalist camping.  The Overland Expo is an event held annually in Amado, AZ located just south of Tucson. The Expo is public show for Overlanding enthusiasts who are interested in furthering their knowledge and driving techniques through various classes offered.  Also many manufactures were available on site to provide expertise on outfitting people and their vehicles for Overlanding.

Overlanding is an activity for those who travel for days, weeks or months around the world sometimes through multiple countries either by vehicle or motorcycle.  Overlanding trips typically consist of traveling on off pavement back roads.  To learn more about Overlanding check out Overland Journal, their magazine is full of adventure stories and some of the best outdoor photography.

At the event we lent our expertise in kitchen camping gear and our experiences with preparing food in the field.  It was enjoyable learning more about the community as well as taking in a few classes on traveling through Mexico on a motorcycle, one pot cooking, and preparing your vehicle for Overlanding.   Like many Snow Peak enthusiast a lot of the attendees of the Expo were happy to see the wide variety of Snow Peak products first hand. We did our best to set-up a grand display of bamboo tables, chairs, cookware, and stoves and we believe many people were impressed with our breadth of products.

At the show we introduced one of our newest products coming available in May, the 2 Unit Iron Grill Table.  This smaller frame size will be great for those who desire an even more compact configurable camp kitchen.  Check it out if you haven’t seen it already.

To check out photos from those who attended the event go here there is also a video on the expo available.

Ultimate Tailgating Barbecue Set-up

Friday, October 15th, 2010

One of my favorite outdoor activities in the Fall is college football and one of the best parts of football is tailgating. When tailgating a good grill is essential.  At Snow Peak we make a lot of cool things but tailgating grills you wouldn’t think of, however the best part of camping gear is that it folds up to fit into any car car.  Our Iron Grill Table (IGT) is one of those products that is beautifully designed, very functional for a wide variety of activities and tailgating happens to be one of those things that it’s awesome for.

We’ve just introduced two new sets that are perfect for tailgating.  These sets have been put together by picking the perfect inserts to make outdoor barbecuing an enjoyable experience. The great thing about our IGT sets is that they’re only the beginning of what you can do with the IGT system.  We make a wide variety of inserts and add-on accessories that allow you to configure the IGT to what best fits you.

The first set is our IGT Weekender which features the IGT frame, Double BBQ Box, Baja Burner Stove, and a canvas carrying case for the Iron Grill Table & Legs.  This is a selection of some of our most popular IGT products and we put them all into one simple set.

Out second set is the IGT Tailgater which is very similar to the Weekender but features an add-on bamboo corner piece and extension table.  This is the set I use for my weekend tailgating parties. I love being able to create a buffet with the add-on bamboo tables and IGT Grill.  It has a perfect amount of table space for Grilling and the tables are great for laying out your condiments and side dishes.
