2) Location (General area is fine)
North Central Illinois - where I-80 and I-39 intersect
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
2008 Hummer H3 Alpha, 1967 M416 military surplus trailer
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
Way back in the '90s I used to edit the Dodge pages on off-road.com. Never been a hard-core off-roader, but have had lots of fun over the years with a 1983 Dodge Ramcharger, a 2006 TJ, and, since then, my baby Hummer. Love camping and using a 4x4 to explore interesting and hard-to-reach places.
I put some videos of some of my adventures here:
I'm active in Illinois Overlanders:
Illinois Overlanders - Cornfield Explorers
Illinois Overlanders a site for like minded people who enjoy exploring the roads less traveled.illinoisoverlanders.com
I've been a guest in the forums for quite some time, and am a big fan of the videos - really helped my upgrade my gear and up my outdoor adventure game in general. Finally decided to pay for a membership to help support the community!

Hello Bjorn and welcome to Overland Bound! In addition hello from a fellow PNW'er and Ram owner/lover! Thank you for your service!Hello Fellow Land-Vikings!!
Live in the PNW, retired military, new to owning a truck and to over-landing. Purchased my 2021 Ram; "TANK", in March, and have did a couple things to it already (rack, and RTT).
Joined the forum to find out about more places to disperse camp here in WA. State, and maybe make a friend or two.

Hello Everyone!
New member here and little something about me, I always wanted to go do dispersed camping. Never camped in my life or any outdoor activities. Being the sole provider to a family of 6, it was hard to go out and do the things I wanted to do. Now 2 of my kids are old enough to help around the house, I now have a little bit of time for myself. So when I turned 40 a few months back, I made a decision to go out and do what I've always wanted to do. Since I cannot do this more than 3 days at a time and just to get my feet wet with the experience, I will be using my 2004 BMW X5 3.0. It's got 129k miles and currently refreshing the whole cooling system, ccv system to cold weather, valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets and upgrading the disa valve. I am doing it myself a few hours a day and looking to get everything done by end of week.
Looking forward to learn from everyone and maybe get access to easy trails, campsites around northern CA.

Hey Guys!
My name is Hunter and I’m from Thomasville, Ga (30 miles north of Tallahassee, FL)
Just got a Toyota Tundra last month, and kinda became obsessed with overlanding videos and podcasts. I’m going to start slow and can’t wait to get out there!

Hello all!
I found OB through YouTube while researching drawer systems for my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Currently it’s bone stock and still needs some maintenance items addressed. Seems to be an okay purchase for $200.
I’m definitely a novice at overlanding, my general camping experience has always been camping over weekends with the long haul trips reserved for hunting camp.
I’ve been watching the Aussie show on YouTube, 4WD 24-7 and watched all of the Expedition Overland series on Prime Video which has got me interested in overlanding.
We’re currently based out of Moscow, Idaho.
Excited to learn more and get my family out for some vehicle based adventures.
