The Overland Expo Sourcebook is your guide to get inspired and outfitted, no matter where your overland journey takes you. Each year, tens of thousands of attendees take the Sourcebook home, and it serves as a comprehensive directory of vendors for every overlanding modification and accessory you could ever dream of. Plus, each year, a selection of stories, how-tos, and featured products provides inspiration for your next trip or build. Now, you can check out the 2026 Overland Expo Sourcebook online.

Overland Your Way to Overland Expo
We teamed up with the navigation experts at onX Offroad to find routes near each of the five Overland Expoes happening all around the country. If you’re heading out to West, PNW, Mtn West, or East, be sure to check these out to tag some trail-time onto the beginning or end of your trip to Overland Expo. Just like the routes you’ll find in the onX Offroad app, these five routes include important stats, difficulty ratings, and helpful summaries from the onX Offroad Trail Guide network.
Backcountry Cooking with the Experts
This is arguably the tastiest article we’ve had in the Overland Expo Sourcebook in recent years. We invited some of our favorite overlanding chefs to share their go-to recipes for a delicious camp meal. Needless to say, they came through in a big way. You’ll want to keep these recipes handy before you stock your fridge for the next trip. They range from a quick and delicious dip to a group meal that promises some awesome leftovers, and they’re the perfect “excuse” to head to your favorite camping spot sooner rather than later.
Small Things Make Big Changes
It’s easy to get caught up in the rigs and build specs, but at the end of the day, overlanding is really about the exploration. That’s why we rounded up some small pieces of kit and gear that you can add to your load out that provide whole new ways to explore your route and destination. Some of them are pretty straightforward, but one or two might surprise you.
Doing Our Part and Giving Back
Finally, we wrap up the Overland Expo Sourcebook with a look inside the purpose and work of the Overland Expo Foundation. From attendees to exhibitors, the overland community’s support of the foundation translates into real-world change. Every year the Overland Expo Foundation diligently works to increase trail access, to support nonprofit groups working in the overland space, and to make sure that this activity that will enjoy is there for future generations, and they couldn’t do it without you.
Plus, when you get access to the 2026 Sourcebook, you also get access to the archives featuring previous years and more great content!
