Greetings & Salutations,

I reside currently in Yorba Linda, CA. I have recently acquired a 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road as my platform to begin this journey into Overlanding with my family to create memories and traditions that they will carry with them well after I have shuffled of this mortal coil.

Hello Brandon, welcome to the OB family.

Hello All, New member located in Vacaville, CA. We have a 2004 Hummer H2. Our Overlanding Experience is Zero.
I have done few easy trips around Vacaville this year. Trip is usually myself and my 4 year old son.
So wanted to get to know more people and get more advice on safety. Looking at putting a winch on this.

Hello Rajiv, welcome to the OB family.

Location: Ft Worth, Tx
Rig: On the lookout for one
Experience: I don't have any overlanding experience, but man do I love traveling! For the past 3 years I've been able to travel to a few states and got to experience some amazing memories. Now I want to take traveling and adventure on a whole new level. And I believe overlanding will do that for me. Haha so I'll have a ton of questions for this place. Like for example., What is the best vehicle to start out with? Many of my adventures will be long and intense. I appreciate any help that comes my way!!!

Hello Santos (@Santos107), welcome to Overland Bound. I am your Southwest Region Member Rep for Texas. The answer to your vehicle question is going to depend on many factors. I suggest you start out with something reliable and comfortable. Living in TX means you will be on the road a lot just getting to all those awesome places we don't have here locally. I also suggest you stop by some of your local meetups and talk with the folks there. Lots of great people here with a ton of experience.

There are a couple DFW area meetups you can check out here: DFW OB meet and greet & DFW - Meet & Greet

Location: Hello from the SF Bay Area!
Rig: 2021 Toyota 4Runner Venture
Experience: Just got back from a 3 week trip to ID and WY. This was a kind of shakedown trip; we (me, wife, dog) stayed with family in ID and ventured out for 2 or three days at a time to explore and test out our camping gear and skills. I grew up in Northern B.C. (been in CA for 20 years now), where I went with my dad and brother on many trips which could definitely called overlanding. Mostly fishing trips, anywhere from a few days to two weeks, over distances of 100s or 1000s of km. Usually tents, sometimes truck bed campers and camper trailers. We even did the occasional trip on horseback. So you could say I grew up overlanding, and I'm now getting back to it :)

I'm looking forward to learning, exploring, building out my rig, and meeting like-minded folks!

Kris

Hello Kris, welcome to the OB family.

Hello from Wyoming and thank you for having us! We are the Dulaney's and we have been camping since childhood and have a deep love and respect for the outdoors. We have a '11 Tundra DC and a truck bed tent. Our overland experience includes many short local trips to the mountains as well as childhood memories of early morning hunting trips where dad's truck was base camp. Can't wait to get involved and meet some of you. Also, thank you for the founding principals. Especially leaving things better than you found them!

Hello Austin, welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Hello! New to the forum and overlanding. My family and I love the outdoors and go camping at least once a month in our Airstream. I've been camping since I was a kid, though. My first vehicle was a 1985 Cherokee. I currently have a 2016 F250 and just bought a 2006 Commander. I'm looking forward to possibly meeting up and doing some more offroading. Thanks!

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
