Hi, I’m Zac. Currently stationed in Southern Maryland. Have been car camping to hunt for a couple years now but want to get into it more not just for hunting. Want to get the family and kids outside more. I’ve got a 2003 Honda CRV AWD. I know it’s nothing fancy but it’s been fun for me so far and plan to run it until it dies. Just hit 245k with no signs of stopping, it’s been a great little vehicle. Looking forward to learning as much as possible here.
Hello Zac, welcome to the OB family.

Hello! I am new to the group and this looks like an awesome community to be a part of. I'm located in Acton, Los Angeles County and I look forward to meeting up with some members, check out their rigs and plan some trips. My next big adventure is going back to Baja to see the whales in February. We have a 2006 F-350 CCLB.

Hello everyone

I'm new to overlanding/off-roading activities but not to the outdoor. I love fishing, hiking and camping. Recently purchase a Bronco Sport Badlands and started make some modification so I can enjoy some overlanding.
I joined the forum to get some inside on the community and the dos and don'ts. Looking forward to interact with some of you and maybe in the near future share trip. Thank you

Greetings from The Queen City (Charlotte) North Carolina!

I am originally from the Bay Area of CA and moved out East over the past 8 years. Lived in KY, East TN, and now in NC. I do miss CA and plan on doing adventures and head back out west to explore.

I have been wanting a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for ever and finally I jumped on a JLUR 4XE! One month owner of it so far and I have code named it H!VLTG.

I am a novice to over landing and getting started and expanding my knowledge here.

Planning a trip for a short 2 day trip with my son for Father’s Day weekend.
Welcome from Arizona!

2) Space Coast Florida.
3) 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Pretty loud color, but I live near the beach in Florida and hey my first car was a Clementine Orange VW bug.
4) Recovering RV’r. Still love backpacking. The only off-roading I’ve experienced were gravel National Forest roads in my 2wd VWs. But I am ready to learn about getting into more off roading than I am familiar with! I just like being in the woods!

Hello ya'll. I have been a closet OB member for a little while but now have some more time and energy to do fun things like overlanding.

I love backpacking and camping, but never have I really done anything with overlanding, some off-road trails and long haul roadtrips. That is the sum of my experience. I am currently working on building out a '96 Fzj80 LandGoat and look forward to putting it to use.

I am super excited to read up on all these articles and forums, the mass amount of experience and knowledge that can be gleaned from them seems endless LOL.

1. I don't know what I am doing. And I would like to figure that out.
2. I would like to be able to contribute to keeping our lands clean and available so I would be interested in learning about volunteer activities hosted by the community.
3. I used to teach first-responders, CPR, and was once an EMT. (certs well gone by now.). I would love to learn about what kind of classes or groups specialize in firt-aid to learn more and refresh old skills :).

I am located in Salt Lake City, UT. Hope I get to meet some of you folks in the future!

Cheers,
Welcome from Arizona!
