I live out in the sticks south of Wichita Falls, trying to homestead, but just got interested in overlanding. I have a 4WD F350 SRW long bed, almost all stock/standard stuff, so I'm starting out a little slow, mainly interested in easy/moderate routes with dirt/gravel roads. Also starting with a few campgrounds getting my gear situation figured out before I go out into the hinterlands. I have a RetraxPro XR on order that I plan to install myself. Later on, I plan on having a Yakima Overhaul HD with an IKamper 3.0 on top.
