This January, the FLATED team had an incredible time at the 2026 Outdoors Extravaganza, hosted by the Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA) in Dallas, TX. The show brought together passionate hunters, outdoor brands, and truck gear experts from across the Lone Star State and beyond for three unforgettable days of community, innovation, and celebration of the hunting lifestyle.

A Big Texas Welcome
From the moment we arrived, it was clear this event lives up to its name. With the show floor officially sold out and buzzing with energy, the Outdoors Extravaganza has quickly become one of the most important outdoor and hunting industry events in Texas. (Outdoor Wire)
Our CEO, Ryan Guay, was there meeting fellow hunters, chatting with exhibitors, and sharing the FLATED mission with attendees who know that the right truck setup can make or break a hunt. It was a powerful reminder that the hunting community thrives on shared experiences, knowledge, and gear that works as hard as hunters do.
Community Beyond the Show Floor
Beyond the exhibits, the Extravaganza offered occasions to connect on a deeper level:
🥂 A delicious dinner brought hunters and industry pals together to break bread and share stories after a full day on the show floor.
🌙 A few late nights enjoying Texas hospitality reminded us all what makes this community so special — camaraderie, laughter, and the love of the hunt.
And a few early mornings that the AirExec Couch came in handy!
You Never Know What You’ll See at a Texas Hunting Show
Walking the show floor reminded us why this event is so legendary. Around every corner was something that made you stop, laugh, or say, “Yep… this is Texas.”
Here is the infamous Furkini!
Highlighting the Best Truck Accessories for Hunters
At FLATED, we’re truck lovers first — because we know that for outdoorsmen and women, a truck isn’t just a vehicle, it’s a hunting command center. That’s why we were thrilled to connect with attendees about the best truck accessories for hunters who truly need their trucks to perform in every environment - from the AirTopper to the AirDeck, every hunter knows the bed of a truck gets more abuse in hunting season than any other time of year.
FLATED Loves Texas
We can’t say it enough: FLATED loves Texas. From the diversity of hunting terrain to the legendary Southern hospitality, the Lone Star State knows how to bring the hunting world together. Being part of the TTHA Outdoors Extravaganza wasn’t just a business move — it was an opportunity to celebrate a culture that stands at the heart of who we are.
A huge thank you to the Texas Trophy Hunters Association for hosting such a standout event and to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect. If you missed us this year, make sure you mark your calendars for the next one — because FLATED will be back, bigger and ready to help hunters take their truck setup to the next level.
