Hello! My name is John. I just recently moved to Coeur D Alene, ID. Originally from Santa Barbara, Ca.

I drive a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Off-road.

I'm a beginner to off-roading, but not to the outdoor life. I'm an avid backpacker and hiker. I've been on several trips so far, with the most recent being in Sept. 2021 with a trip to the Overland Expo in Arizona. What a blast! Got to meet the people that got me started on this adventure (Lifestyle Overland, Expedition Overland, etc). The overland community has been very gracious and helpful.
Hello John, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hi all!

My name's David. I’m a San Francisco based woodworker who gets outside as much as work and family will allow. I grew up in the north bay and, thanks to my dad, got to explore some roads now long-closed to the public. I wish I could remember more of them!

My husband and I get out about once a month for a three or four day weekend. After retirement in a few years, we hope to spend three months a year exploring our amazing continent, a few miles at a time!

I daily drove my family's '71 Bronco for 35 years or so (when it was running). Did a big restomod on it a few years ago and discovered that, surprise, even with all that work it still drove like an accident aggressively trying to happen at any speed above 50. So we moved on (after a few tears) to the 2017 WK2 in my profile pic. I've installed a winch, some underbody protection and 70 series KO2's, but am trying to do more adventuring than wrenching with her. My current project is a kitchen drawer/sleeping platform that will hopefully make setting up and breaking camp a less-than an hour event.

I'm really looking forward to connecting with other members and getting out on roads less traveled.
Welcome!

Hello all Tommy here,
New this but cant wait to get my feet wet. My rig which will be my daily driver is a 2020 Subaru Ascent. Not looking to bury it but looking to go down the paths of the less traveled. Any ideas on upgrades and places to start would be most appreciated. Thanks
Welcome!

Hey Everyone, I'm Nate. I have a '19 Ford Ranger FX4 I'm making into my overlanding rig, who my 5 year old daughter has aptly named "Lyla", and is relentless about it. Welcome!
I'm based out of Sacramento CA but originally from Calaveras County here in CA. I'm entirely new to the overlanding world, but excited to start exploring! Hopefully I can meet some awesome people here to learn from.

New to over landing and am excited to make “adventure necessary” as I work less and begin to enjoy life more.
Recently acquired a 2014 Fj Cruiser that is becoming the vehicle to get my wife and I closer together outdoors.
Overland bound is helping this dream become reality.

Hi!
I’m Reggie. I’m brand new to Overlanding. I have years of experience remote camping, and being off road with dirt bikes and ATVs, but now I’m combining everything and just getting started in this new area. I am a complete novice, starting all over at the beginning and soaking up as much as I can.
I’m on an Africa Twin M/C right now for my first trip in WA state coming up in June. Next step is building a 4 wheeled vehicle.
Thank you!
Hello Reggie, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.

Hello,

I'm John, Army (Ret) vet and have absolutely zero experience adventure traveling but have many decades of road trips across the country via 4 wheel and 2 wheel (Goldwing). I've not done any form of camping since my active duty retirement some 20 years ago and actual camping during my knee high to a grasshopper scouting days. Currently call home in Fayetteville NC, and although I don't consider my car as an overlanding rig (2021 Subaru Crosstrek) as it's bone stock, one day it could be.

I recently decided to join Overland Bound and invest since I have been following Michael's & Corrie's Overland Bound, TrailRecon, LifestyleOverland, Epic Family Road Trip, Wayalife, Expedition Overland, and Marco at OVRLNDX YT channels for years.
Hello John, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.

Hey OB fam. I am Richard and this is my first post here. I've got a Jeep 4xe that I have begun to slowly build out. I have plans to take on the Washington BDR later this year with another friend of mine. Can't wait to read about it on here to plan for it, and get the advice from the pros.

Hello, live in the Omaha Metro area (eastern nebraska).
I drive a Lexus GX460 and so far the only off reading I've done is drive into my yard to get closer to the back door.

Just over 100k so I've got alot of PMs I'll be documenting to share here and on my YouTube channel.

I was just diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. So no long range trips just yet. But we will be camping at various places local to us and will pass along the good and bad about each, as I know many of you drive through on I-80 to get to mountains.

As I outfit the vehicle I am going to set everything up for a future me that may not be as capable as I am now.
Hello Brian, welcome to the OB family.

Hi! I am Rich from Ravensdale, WA. I am a lifelong outdoor adventurer, but new to the overlanding community. I switched from a full-size GMC to a Wrangler as my primary offroad vehicle a few years ago. After several years of research and planning, I'm in the process of building up my '21 JLU Rubicon for more adventures with my family. I will be doing a mix of my own builds and purchases and will be very interested in OB community feedback and recommendations.

Glad to be a part of the community.
Hello Rich, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.
