Hello Everyone!

I hope I am doing this correctly!? We just joined OB our number is 27195. We are very excited to be a part of the community. We love overland camping and exploring wilderness trails. We run a 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. We use it as a dedicated trail rig and so far we have almost 9k of adventure miles on the odo. We love nature, T.R.E.A.D. Lightly and really enjoy the opportunity overlanding gives us to spend time as a family (except Fudge, our bulldog, he hates camping, LOL). We live north of Atlanta, GA so we spend most of our time in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Pisgah National Forest and Cherokee National Forest. We love the mountains and camping up above the bugs and humidity. We run slow paced, stop at waterfalls, eat well (not OVRLNDX / Mama Bear well but we try) and are not looking to break our rig. We are always looking for groups to go with on adventures and other couples and families to team up with on smaller runs. I am an old Eagle Scout so being prepared comes with my background. Really looking forward to all the community has to offer and hoping to provide some value to other members along the way! We look forward to seeing you all out on the trails! - Mike and Beth

Hi. My name is Joshua. After working in public safety for most of my adult life, I was injured in the line of duty and was retired with disability. I did not know what I was missing out on. After learning about overlanding and watching all these videos in the subject, I have fallen in love with nature and the overland experience. I like to take my family out so my kids don’t miss what I missed. I have a 2012 Jeep Rubicon and I am here to help and share in whatever I can do. Thanks.

I see two different colors of Rubicons in those pictures! :)

Welcome!

Scott I’m from the PNW and currently live in Pendleton OR.
I’ve had a ‘98 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ for several years. Love it and hope I never have to part with it.
I recently acquired a ‘97 GMC Yukon 4door and have just gotten started on its build. Both are pretty stock.Have added 2nd batteries.
Both go offroad and Backcountry with me frequently. We end up on forest service roads at least one or twice a week.
I retired early to care for my stepdad with severe dementia so it’s sometimes challenging and other times engaging for both of us.
I’ve got CB & GMRS in both. As soon as I get a license I’ll install a 2meter/70cm. I also have a SpotX I carry just in case.
cheers!

Just introducing myself! From Northern New Jersey. I love the outdoors and adventure. I enjoy mountain climbing and camping. I have a lifted Jeep so Overlanding is totally appealing to me and been really enjoying all the great Youtube videos out there. I'm hoping to get out there and hoping to learn and meet some great people out here!

Hi y’all. My names Will, and I’ve just recently joined overland bound. Been watching on youtube for a while and finally decided to join

Location: North GA near Chattanooga TN

Rig: 2014 AM General Mobility Ventures MV-1

Experience: Very limited overlanding experience. Growing up I would go camping with my dad but being disabled tended to limit where I could go and for how long, but I’ve recently discovered overlanding (last several years) and at first didn’t think it was something I could do as I didn’t have and couldn’t get a large 4x4 vehicle but I’ve learned more and more that that shouldn’t limit adventure. Sure my vehicle is only 2 wheel drive and ways 3.5 tons but in the end it’s a great vehicle that does most of what I ask of it.

Thanks for making such a great platform. See y’all out there

Hello folks,

My name's louis and at this point I don't have an overland vehicle I think. My wife and I spent 7 months living in our 5er, traveling around AZ, CO, UT, TX, & NM until work forced me to move back to the east. Just sold my rig and truck (picture attached) as a set and so now I am trying to figure out what to buy next so I can try to recreate the sense of freedom while still tethered to a house. I think I have decide to buy a GX 460, which would be a Prado where I come from in South Africa. We plan on doing lots of miles to get from FL to the canyon lands and I think doing that in the luxury of a GX would be great. I am hoping to find lots of knowledge about how to do a build because I haven't done that before and hopefully find some like minded people in the Tampa Bay area that could go out with me on occasions to learn a bit more about how to do overlanding correctly.

Hi, I'm John and live between Denver and Colorado Springs CO. We have a Jeep Rubicon JLUR that we've slowly been outfitting, ideally for a combo of overlanding and rock crawling.

We're the kind of people that head out to spend time in Dinosaur National Monument, but somehow end up on the coast of Oregon / California and doing insane trails in Moab on the way home.

Late summer we're getting an extremely capable off grid squaredrop trailer that we're hoping will allow us to go into more extreme areas for boondocking.

Beautiful area to live! I used to live south west of Elizabeth, CO. It sounds like you will have a lot of adventures to share.
