Hey there, my name is Dave up in Northern California near Santa Rosa. Building up my '19 Nissan Frontier with a 2" Nisstech lift of Bilsteins and a HD Old Man Emu on the rear. 23zeros tent is still waiting to get used, thanks Covid:(. Just finished the bed camp box with a cooking station and will be adding under armor, when I get more $$$. It has been a few years since I went wheeling, other than a few Jeep trips over the Alpine Loop so it's nice to have another 4x4 in the driveway. Thanks all, DS

Hey,
From Colorado and have a Gladiator. I’ve had a few wranglers in the past along with a vintage Range Rover and LR3. Spend my free time 4 wheeling/camping in the mountains and also enjoy adventure motorcycles, currently ride an f800gs. I enjoy running the bdr in Colorado and completed a Moto trip through Baja. Hoping to get off the beaten path this summer.

I like that Jeep, and there's a lot of great places to go in CO. Welcome!

Hi everyone - first post from another new member. Been lurking and learning a lot from the forums and OB YouTube videos for a while, finally decided to join up.

Truck is a stock Tacoma TRD OR as of now. For experience: years ago enjoyed backpacking, climbing, skiing, (light) 4-wheeling, ham radio, and DIY projects in the Pacific Northwest. Am now located on the East Coast trying to figure out "online school" for the kids during the pandemic...and planning to get outside for future family camping/overland trips!

Hey everyone, I'm a student living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I'm pretty new to overlanding, I've been on two trips so far to VA and am looking forward to exploring more as time (and money) allows. I have a bone-stock 2000 GMC Yukon Denali that I am learning how to wrench on and am planning an overland build around. I'm looking forward to learning on Overland Bound!

Hi all,

Thanks for having me on the forums. Love you guys. And love the work you do at entertaining us and informing us Overlanding especially in these tough times. A little info from me!

Ottawa, Ontario, CA
Vehicle? lol, Mazda 3 Sport (coming: Jeep, not sure which model yet)
Overlanding experience?: Novice for sure, lol, not much I can do with a Mazda 3, but I'm an avid camper. A buddy and I go camping fall to spring, making our own shelters or sometimes tents. We love camping in cold temps, 5 to -30 celcius, or in Fahrenheit = 40 to -18. Deep snow, pulling a sled and snowshoes, bushcrafting and food on the fire.

Thanks for having me! And I know I can certainly help anyone with questions on camping in winter if you have questions for me, don't be shy, love to chat!
Fern (aka: fmcharley)

New to the forum and to overlanding. I am retired US Army Artillery, so I've done my share of "overlanding", but I have never done it on my terms. So, here I am, ready to start learning how to outfit my rig. I live in Central Texas, just outside of Austin. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and I want to build or buy an overlanding trailer to pull behind it. Maybe something with a tent incorporated into it.

Hope to get to a local meet and greet, maybe an Overland Bound rally once things recover from the current global mess.
