New to the space here! Hubby and I love to take the 2015 Jeep Wrangler w overland SoCal Teardrop trailer out of So Cal area. Have explored Mohave, Owens Valley and Eastern Sierras. I fear that too much ‘publicity’ in large forums could promote too much traffic of some of the pristine places we love to discover. But I’m hoping the group here is all about preservation - and keeping others informed - for the betterment of all.
the rooftop tent isfor when we’re a party of 4… we call it’The Duplex’..for Just two we leave the tent home.

Hey everyone, My name is Jeromy. New to overlanding but have been camping since childhood and seriously since 2015. We get out about once a month to do something fun away from the city.

After being unable to find camping spots at some 14'ers lately, we decided to find something we can disperse camp with better and jumped in to the GX club and picked up this '08 GX470 this summer. It's still setup for a Starbucks run but we're loving it and can't wait to start the mods.

Hello and welcome to the OB family!!

First I want to thank the members for providing an awesome collection of posts. I've done a fair amount of reading here.

We have lived on the Oregon coast for decades. We have always tent camped out of an SUV. Tents worked fine for 40+ years from USA coast to coast, Canada and Baja. We love backroads and primitive camping. I grew up in a camping family and spent 31 years with the USFS fire and law departments.

We retired in 2016 and bought a new LR4. We started camping more often and year round. We were roughing it more than we cared for. After a ton of soul searching we decided to get an off road type teardrop trailer.

We are loving it!

Hi,

My wife, son, and dog love the outdoors. We live in Colorado and while we are experienced tent campers, we wanted to get into overlanding to be able to access more areas to hike and explore. I have a 2009 Honda Ridgeline (standard) and a 2021 High Altitude Trailers XT-50. Charles at Earthship Overland in Denver recommended this site to us. Very new to this, so open to feedback, recommendations, etc.

Thanks!

-Bobby

Hi everyone. Complete novice at overlanding, but I have done a lot of high altitude climbing and spent months at a time in a tent. Had kids, left all that behind (wife didn't like the risk associated to it) but am keen to get back into the outdoors, albeit without the risk. Tried camping in a tent a few weeks ago, I'm too old to be on the ground so it looks like truck camping is where I am heading - probably ease into it with over night trips, weekend trip and eventually extend it out to week long and longer trips (or permanently? when I retire?) and Ive had a chance to iron out the kinks in my setup.

First stop - time to buy a truck.

(located in Atlanta, but 50% of my time is in the bay area).

Hi all,

I’m Ryan from Charleston, SC. New to overlanding and in the process of setting up my truck. Looking to find a community to get into and go out on the trails with and setup camp. I’m 22 years old and work full time. I am looking for something to do on weekends off work and this is something I am very excited for!
