The Big Gear Show 22 – The LavaBox Portable Campfire
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022
There’s a new accessory for the LavaBox and it’s called the Over/Under Grill Thingy. It’s probably the best name ever for a product because it does exactly what it’s named.?
It can be configured under the LavaBox to offer clearance or it can be placed atop the LavaBox to be used as a grill.

The Big Gear Show 22 – Bus Bum
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022
Bus Bum was developed out of necessity by a longtime member of LA’s textile industry. She related that she had once sat on something that stained her pants so she sewed up a padded seat cushion which could be rolled up.
Bus Bum is available in a variety of colors. It is made in the US from anti-microbial and durable US materials. The slip cover can also be removed for cleaning.
The Big Gear Show 22 – Vaucluse Gear
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022Austin-based Vaucluse Gear designed a pack harness appliqué called the Cool-Dry Frame which is designed to make you sweat less and improve airflow.
Here you can see how it compresses between back and pack but retains enough space to facilitate airflow.
They are currently 3-D printing the Cool-Dry Frames but are transitioning to injection molding and expect it to stay at its current 6 oz weight.
2022 The Big Gear Show
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022
Now in its second year, The Big Gear Show is held in Park City, Utah, just miles above Salt Lake City. They’ve selected an excellent venue to bring together manufacturers, retail buyers and the outdoor media to check out the Las test products and get some hands-on time.
With the show about one-third paddle sports, one-third bikes and the remainder made up of the rest of the outdoor space, there’s plenty of room to take a bot out in the lake or hit the trail with a demo bike.
There is lots to see.
