Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Look what came in the mail.

Hello Andre, welcome to the OB community.

 

[Big G]

Hi all from Westbury Wiltshire in the UK, current vehicle is a Land Rover Discovery 3 HSE 2008.
Past vehicles Denfender 110 1988 and a Freelander 2.
Discovery 3 is named "Doris"
My old Defender 110 was named by daughter "Kiity" and that is where the name came from for our blog Kittylandrover.co.uk.
I was toying with the idea of becoming a member after following the YouTube channel so ive taken the plunge and look forward to new adventures.

Hello Ian, welcome to the OB community. Glad you took the plunge.

Hello all!

Obviously, I am new here so I'll start with my name. I am Jacob Scott Kelley. Call me Jacob or Scott, I should respond to both. Scott Milk is my online name since I like milk for some reason (and there ain't nothin wrong with that). I am an Eagle Scout that loves the outdoors. I am in Flagstaff AZ but considering I just graduated from mechanical engineering online (COVID) at NAU, I probably won't be here long since there isn't much for engineering jobs here. Starting my sophomore year, I started using my spring break to go on a camping road trip to various places like canyon lands, arches, zion, grand canyon, bryce canyon, etc. with many other in between places. I never really planned where I would camp but just find places when evening came along. At the time I had no idea it was called overlanding. With many other weekend trips around Flag I came to be fairly capable in my truck.

My first vehicle, and only so far, is my 2004 Toyota Tundra double cab limited edition V8 2WD. Ye, only 2WD, but it was a crackin deal when I got it back in high school and I didn't really know much about cars and off road. I have built the front bumper, put a winch in (for when I do occasionally get stuck)[not pictured], light bar because I like night driving, and a leveling kit for just a tad more clearance and looks good. Otherwise stock and planning to build a topper very soon. Oh, and I tried to make a custom grill but it kinda turned out bad, but will change one day. The build is never done.

Is the expo still happening? I would've imagined it'd be cancelled but I guess they are starting to soft open from quarantine here. Maybe by then there won't be concerns of such a big event

Hello Matt, welcome to the OB community. As a former Michigander I'd be interested to know where you lived in Mi., and where you camped?

I grew up in Fremont, and Pentwater and went to Michigan Tech. As a kid we went to PJ Hoffmaster several times, St Ignace, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Wisconsin dells, and various others. In college we did some car camping in the keeweenaw, and backpacking in the Porcupine Mtns and Pictured Rocks a couple times each.

 

[VBUGMAN]

Finally made the leap, just trying to gain more knowledge and maybe meet some of you on the trail. Been a desert rat (Las Vegas, Nv) my whole life, will have a lot more time to get out in a few months. Looks like theirs a lot to be gained from being a member Thank You

 

[Dawgguy101]

Hello, Overland Bound Community! My name is Todd, and I live outside of San Antonio, Texas. I drive a 1995 Ford Bronco XLT, which I named "Betty" for my traveling adventures. She's currently still in the shop, receiving some much-needed upgrades and servicing. I am a novice when it comes to Overlanding, but looking forward to learning about self-sustaining travel and all of the experiences that go with it!

 

[SHagler_2017]

Hello! My name is Sarah and I'm very new to this. My husband has been getting more and more into overlanding since he got his Jeep about 4 years ago. Took me a while to jump on the bandwagon (mostly because I was annoyed at the constant packages from Amazon arriving on the doorstep containing stuff for his Jeep). Well I just bought a 2017 TRD Offroad 4 runner and let's just say I'm now in love. Anyways, we live in Fayetteville, NC and are always looking for fun trips and new camp spots to take the vehicles so I'm excited to explore that more on here. I'll take any suggestions around the NC area!

[Marco Escalante]

Good evening OB community. I am Marco reporting in from Patterson, CA. Don’t look for it, I don’t think we have made the big map yet. So my wife Jen and I have been members for a while, but due to circumstances had not been active. We are now back and need to establish in the community and get back to living a little. Our current tool for adventure is a 2020 Wrangler JLU that we are working on getting back to as capable as our last Wrangler, and hoping to get out soon. Hope to see and meet some of you all soon.
