Maybe I should have posted here instead of a new thread lol! We're new. We'll be a 2 Ford Maverick FX4 family allowing us some limited opportunities at overlanding. Our son suggested it and, if your 17yo child wants to find more ways to spend time together, you are wise to find a way to make it happen. We don't have unrealistic expectations but with my physical limitations we shouldn't do anything crazy anyway! Looking forward to learning while we wait for my Maverick and see what we can do with my son's.
Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Why Overlanding?: I've always been an outdoor type of person and love traveling, camping, and exploring new places. I hunt, fish and travel a lot for work. Overlanding is a great way to combine all those experiences!

Morning all,

New to the site, and relatively new to overlanding in any formal setting. Before kids, I spent many nights using the back seat of the truck as my "tent" when on fishing trips in remote areas, but kids and a wife necessitate me being more "civilized". I do have to admit, the RTT is much more comfortable than the back of the truck. haha. Family of 4 plus bubba our beagle. We love any and all things outdoors.. camping, hiking, fishing, riding, etc.... Good to be here. Thanks all


1) Picture... check
2) Location- Northeast Pennsylvania
3) Rig- 2017 CC Lariat EB F-150 as the overland rig, but the 4 wheelers and SxS see some duty locally for gound camping.
4) Overlanding Experience Background- Novice in a formal setting, but been camping/hiking/outdoors since i was a little kid,

Not really new here but had issues with my old account when I got a new phone it was showing me as free member. But my computer said I paid so I had to cancel my old number and subscription and now have a new one. I like the maps but almost not worth the hassle
