Cheers, all. My name is Josh, and I am the founder of a Colorado club full of ruffians called 'No Known Boundaries'. I grew up camping and fishing with my grandfolks, but stopped spending time outdoors right around middle school. It wasn't until I had graduated high school and bought myself a Jeep WJ that I got back to camping. After one trip back out with a friend of mine, I was hooked on getting back outdoors.
I joined an offroad club years back, and outfitted the WJ with a mild lift and some upsized rubber. We would go and plow our way over, onto, or through any obstacle in sight. It got totaled in '12, and I bought myself a pair of Jeep ZJs. I sold both rather quickly, then got into an OBS F-150 and had it built top to bottom. After a few months, it became very clear that I didn't have the funds or time to destroy my daily driver every weekend. I sold it too and bought a 3rd gen Dodge 3/4 with a 24V Cummins motor.
I didn't need a rock rig, but wanted to still get outdoors and camp more. I camped out endlessly throughout the summers of '14 and '15 like never before. With only a leveling kit and 35s, I was still getting the Dodge through some rather tough terrain with half a cord of wood and a full galley for my friends.
Then last March I 'discovered' overlanding. I'd been wheeling and camping already all this time, but would really only wheel my way into a site and then plop down for three days without actually exploring anything other than the 500 feet in any direction from the campfire. I wasn't towing much with the Dodge anyway, so I sold it and bought a Jeep JKU. I started to get my feet wet with organizing the Jeep for trips, then realized that although I didn't need a freight train of a truck anymore, the bed was invaluable for my setup.
Which brings us here. Since last May, I've been driving around in my 1st gen Tacoma really diving into the deep end of overlanding. I started NKB to try and connect with some folks who were interested in doing more than just crawling for a few hours or staring at the same tree all weekend. We've now got an entire summer full of trips on the itinerary, and are full steam ahead.
I hope that I can bring my passion and experience to more people, whether that be through an internet forum, or in person on a meetup. I would be more than happy to meet more like-minded overlanders along the front range and invite you to join my team, as well as help anyone who isn't local with some tips and tricks as possible. Glad to be a part of the Overland Bound community and looking forward to sharing experiences with y'all.
