I'm in Illinois, and want to find something like an expo for different new camping supplies. Idk if this even exists? But is there something like this at maybe a gun show or something? any suggestions are appreciated. And I know there are websites with tons of stuff, but if like to see it in person before I rush to buy.

Answer
Visit a larger REI store. Many kinds of gear are displayed or set-up. Much of the emphasis is on high-quality and lightweight backpacking gear, far superior to what you will find in many shops. Hoffman Estates has Cabela's. Bass Pro is another interesting outlet for cheaper gear, but not high-end equipment.

The best way to find demonstrations of camping equipment is to meet other campers either at developed campgrounds or on remote backpacking ventures. Owners of gear are usually very happy to provide you with recommendations and demonstrations of gear. If you are looking for backpacking gear, then Backpacker Magazine provides reviews. You Tube offers many demonstration videos. The Meet Up groups may assist you as well.
