Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Mitoyam]

G'day everyone,

I'm a new member from Victoria Australia and I do a fair bit of camping and 4wding/trail exploring around my local area. I love seeing were people from around the world are exploring and the vehicles they are doing their adventures in.

Cheers,

Tim

Greetings All,

We've been watching the Overland Bound YouTube videos as we've been researching overlanding. Decided to join and buy a Gazelle tent for our first foray into camping. Kids are grown so time to get into the adventure mix. Going slow as we figure out what we need. Currently driving a stock 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD OffRoad. Bought it for daily driving and adventure. Indiana isn't exactly overlanding friendly, but there's a few state parks to get started on.

Cheers!

Frank

Been off-road to level most of my life. Last year? was talking to a longtime OB member up here in North Idaho about some stuff I was doing and wanted to do. Spent the last several months looking at OB and the whole overlanding community to see if there was a fit. Anyway #26580 now. Looking forward to seeing folks out there in the years to come

 

[ak.bronco]

Hello! I'm new to Overlanding and while not able to do it yet as I'm awaiting the arrival of my vehicle I will be outfittting for overlanding, I'm elbow deep in the research phase. I'm currently living in Southeast Alaska but will be moving south in the next year or so. My vehicle will be a 2021 (maybe 2022) Ford Bronco. I'm very excited to get into Overlanding. I'm also a photographer hope to use this adventure to get me to remove locations to photograph.
