How goes it everyone,
just getting back in to tours and adventures after returning to Australia from the U.K. Have got myself a Mazda BT50 tray back and getting a canopy with solar fitted next week. I then have the best bit of setting up the canopy for adventures.. will start looking thru the forums for ideas. Sounds like there is huge amount of info and knowledge out there.
Take it easy

Hello Kyrone, welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[caspoint220]

Thank you for adding me as a guest.
I am a retirey from Oxford the United Kingdom.
I have travelled Overland all over Europe and North Africa in my Land Rover 110 and done fly drives to many other countries worldwide.
Recently I have downsized from the 110 to a Freelander as many of trip I have in the pipeline are more road, forest tracks orientated although another desert trip to search for Pelican 16 is on the horizon.
I'm hoping the forum will be a constant source of inspiration and advice.
Cheers, travel safe!

Hey everyone

Happened upon this site by accident.

Getting back into vehicle based travel and looking for inspiration. Have our eye on the Nordic countries and Spain at the moment. Hopefully Covid eases and we can all travel safely soon.

1. bought a LR D3 last year, was a bit rough but getting her there, planning on adding rooftop tent, awning etc soon
2. currently live in North Wales / Shropshire borders
3. Discovery 3 2005 2.7 TDV6 with 90k miles in Vienna Green
4. Experienced off-roader and qualified 4x4 instructor in South Africa, with extensive travel experience in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland and obviously SA. I have also made the odd mistake.

Hello, my name is Terry, living in the Reno, Nevada area. I have enjoyed camping my whole life but I am new to the overlanding community. My vehicle is a 2018 Subaru Outback (Gray Lady). I’m very aware of what this vehicle can NOT do and I’m excited to learn what it can do with the proper guidance. I look forward to meeting like minded folks who are willing to help me navigate this new adventure. Thanks

Hello Terry, welcome to the OB family.

Hey everyone, I'm completely new here and completely new to overlanding. Not new to camping or anything, but it has been a while. Got my Eagle scout at 18, and that's about when I stopped camping, but I'm so ready to get back into everything.
I'm in Columbia, SC (US) and probably will start exploring around here first.
Just bought a 2020 Toyota 4Runner (unrelated to any camping/overlanding goal, just was what I wanted next).

I'm really eager to get started with stuff, but I know I've got a lot to (re)learn and need to get at least some basic gear, but can't wait to start!

Hello Brian, welcome to the OB family.

Hello my name is James West. I’m new to overlanding from the Denver area. I’m getting into overlanding to show my kids there is more to life then video games and YouTube. I drive a ram 2020 power wagon.

Welcome, James! Colorado has a lot to offer for adventure. I’m a native and am still finding plenty of places to explore!

Hello from Pocono PA, I hope everyone is doing great! My name is Dory and I happened to come across this site and found it very informative. My wife and I have never been overlanding or off road except for gravel and dirt trails. We both love the outdoors and found overlanding very interesting. we currently own a 2012 Subaru outback 2.5 and 2014 Lexus lx 570 (both stock) that we use for camping and would like to eventually build one of the vehicles up to do more challenging trails. Hope to meet some of you on the trails...

We are the Shaws from East Texas. Yep a couple from Texas by accident got into overlanding and rock climbing because I had to officiate our sons wedding on top of the world in Moab and loved it. We decided to downsize from our class A and bought a Opus 4. We are so excited to get back off road. Look forward to really making overland trips for weeks. Look forward to seeing yall on the trail . Thank you for the invite.
