Glad to be on the Forum. Retired mechanical engineer. Using my 2017 Forester as a soft roader, mostly forest roads and fire trails in the Southeast. Have plenty of time now to learn what I need to know to get out into the forest or desert or wherever I can safely go with my mild rig. Baby steps first. Thanks for adding me!

Hubby and I recently moved to the *Colorado* flatiron foothills after 23 years of wanting to live here! Youngest child will finish college in a year. We bought a hard shell rooftop tent and put it on our *2017 Subaru Outback* last May. *Very little* overlanding experience and our little Subie isn’t very tricked out but we yearn for the open road leading us to forest and water to relish in nature and just “be”. Hiking, hammock-time, writing...

Currently interested in any Outback cargo info / builds... I’d hire someone to help us out. Looking to have a couple of drawers the width of the cargo area which will raise the cargo “floor” height and then have the solar powered cooler on one side... Also looking for recommendations about how to find BLM land.

Thanks for being a community and welcoming newbies!

Hello All! New member and super excited.
My name is Raj or RJ whatever is easiest. In my profile bio is my overlanding journey start. Super novice but am eager to learn, grow and get outdoors to have fun. I am fly fishing enthusiast which is what is the motivation for my overlanding start.
I decided to go with what I got right now which is a 2004 Ram 1500. I overhauled it a bit and will be upgrading a whole bunch more soon. Can't wait to get to know more folks! Attached is where I started with the vehicle and where it is today.

Thanks!

3.jpgHello Everyone, I am John. Here is a picture of My Rig.

Location: I am located in Omaha, Arkansas close to the Missouri Border
Rig: 2011 Jeep Wrangler JK
Overlanding Experience: I would consider myself new to overlanding. I have attended several events in the Midwest but mostly as a Vendor. I am the Owner of Long Creek Overland Apparel Company. I am not new to camping, or off-roading, I am new to combining the two for a whole new adventure.

I look forward to possibly meeting up with like minded adventurers in the area.

Hey everyone!
I’m Larry. I’ve been an avid outdoorsman for years but started Overlanding about 2 years ago. I have mostly owned first generation broncos but got into jeeps a few years ago. My current build is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ.
I still consider myself a novice and I’m excited about getting to know everyone!
