[Kent R]

Hi folks,

I’m Nate from Athens, GA. I’m new to overlanding but excited to get started. I did quite a bit of camping as a kid and served several years in the Army but haven't spent as much time outdoors as I would like in recent years. I recently purchased a 2019 Toyota Tundra but didn’t have overlanding in mind (bought the truck for working around the house and to replace the accord I had for 14 years). I was looking for camping equipment and came across overlanding and had no idea what it was but it seems to be just what I'm looking for. My truck is completely stock but I’m happy to go on short trips in the area if anyone has something planned. I’ll work on getting the truck up to speed as I go.

Hello. I'm Ivan from Texas. Have a 2006 Tacoma DCLB that im building out slowly. We recently became empty nesters and are trying to fill the void. Used to 4 wheel a lot when I was younger, in Puerto Rico, but that was a long time ago. We owned a '77 FJ-40, '87 4Runner, '88 Zook Samurai, a Baja bug and a sand rail.

Location: Cincinnati Ohio
Rig: 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD
Experience: Really don't know how to put this since I don't really enjoy off roaders who brag about how good they are. I've done a decent amount of overlanding in Kentucky on the DBBB and the KAT and have done a little bit here in Ohio especially in the Hocking Hills area. Overlanding on the DBBB is what brought me here trying to figure out where certain trails were and seeing some of the members YouTube videos for the area.

Good morning. My name is James and I'm very excited to sign up here. I am new to overlanding for the most part. I've run the K Trail in Oklahoma before it was closed. At least I think it was before it was closed! I generally take off weekends and run forest roads in the Ouachita national forest. I have a 09 Jeep Wrangler I use for my trips. I live in Gun Barrel City Texas.View attachment 115874

hello, my name is Alan, I live in Oklahoma. I have been offroading since I was 18, I am now 60. I have owned some great vehicles, jeep, toyota, chevy truck. I have done everything from mud racing to sand, and rock crawling. I am in no way an expert on anything. recently I needed a newer truck and got a 2013 Ram 1500, 5.7 hemi, 6 speed trans. I hope to make an overland camping, fishing, etc. rig out of it. It will be slow, as I am on disability, but I hope to get good info here. and one day have an awsome rig.

Hi all, excited to be a part of this group. Fairly new to the world of overlanding but have been building up my dream rig for the past two years. Moved to the Seattle, WA area a little over a year ago from Austin, TX and am really enjoying getting used to the new terrain out here on the PNW. I would love to learn more about overlanding safety, recovery, and driving best practices. I mostly travel alone, so I'm a little more timid than I would like to be but have still managed to put about 5k off road miles on my truck in the rear I've been out here.

Good afternoon,

Hello all. My name is Trevor. Never heard of overlanding before but it sounds interesting. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 that I just purchased. I do enjoy off roading but do not do much of that as of yet. I have traveled East coast to west many many times. I have driven through Canada to Alaska and have enjoyed it. While I have had specific destinations to go to I always choose to drive as I love seeing this country. I would consider myself a novice overlander. I am currently stationed in Alameda CA while my wife and kids live in Idaho. I will be able to go home for good in a year's time. Thank you for the opportunity to join this group and learn more about overlanding.
