Hello My name is David, I live in Riverbank CA. I recently registered on this forum.
I have experience in camping, backpacking and off-roading.
I hope to meet new friends that enjoy fly fishing and exploring the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range along HWY 395. I also enjoy the western slope of the Sierra Nevada as it's a relatively short drive for me.
I'm currently driving an Isuzu Trooper, it works well off-road and has plenty of room for my gear. It has a mild lift and slightly oversized tires.
I recently got my ham license and look forward to meeting you on the net.
Hello David, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey all, just got done watching a show about Overlanding. Never heard of it so I googled it and here I am. I have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD. I’m from South Jersey. I am wrapping up striper season fishing, driving on the beach, and boat fishing for the year and looking for something new to get me outside. I’m a novice for driving in the woods but have experience driving on sand. This looks interesting. Have a lot of questions but that’s all for now.
Welcome Steven Overlanding or over water, just get out and have fun

Not new, but finally introducing myself.
Name is Greg and I live in northeast CT., USA
65 years old
Vehicle is a 2006 Land Rover LR3
Spent the summer of 2021 building my Land Rover LR3 to take me on a journey. Fell 3 months behind so the journey out was very short, about 28 days.
Worked out some bugs and am tending to them now so I can have a much more fulfilling 2022.
I travel solo. Have done so for many years, but have discovered that solo is becoming too hard. Really hoping to find others, groups to tag on to, as to ad to the experience and mostly learn from
Been off and on off roading since 1977 in various vehicles. Traveled in a motorhome and full times in that for 4 years. I'm now combining the two for what I consider a more intimate way to see this country.
So I will now spend more time here to try and make these connections.
Thanks for the opportunity.

By the way, I am seeing post starting from oldest to newest. I can't seem to find a way to switch that. Help?

Attached are some pics of my LR to which I did all the work meself. ;)

Hey guys,
I have been present here in the forum for about a month, but haven't introduced myself.

I am from middle TN area. I have a 2007 Toyota 4runned Limited V8. It has slight modifications, leveling lift kit, slightly larger A/T tires. Simple, but capable. Future mods may be a roof rack and rock sliders.

I have camped regularly since I was a child. Most of our travels have stayed close to the beaten paths at campgrounds a state parks, but we have a had a few dispersed camping trips. Either way we are out enjoying the nature around us. If there is an unpaved or gravel road, I will be seeing where it goes, if it is public access, of course.

Thanks for the opportunity to join and welcome to all the other new members.

Adventure is necessary. Let's go!
Hello Darrell, welcome to Overland Bound!
