Hello all. I used to do alot of car camping before getting married and then when the kids were little. Then I got more into backpacking, mostly doing trips in the mountains of NC/SC. Now the kids are much older and enjoying their own thing. The wife refuses to do any more camping unless we're in a travel trailer (thinks monsters will get her), but I enjoy NOT having a small apartment with me, so I still enjoy camping. I never really thought much about overlanding but after considering it, I've probably done more of that in camping from my truck or Jeep than anything. I'm semi-retired now and have much more time to get back into nature these days. I already have alot of equipment from camping and backpacking but I could stand to get a new sleeping shelter, as I'm beginning to consider more and more getting off the ground and onto a cot or other platform. The last time I went backpacking I noticed that I was not really enjoying the stiffness that accompanied getting up off the ground in the mornings. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy getting away from it all, but I've been interested in getting way back on forest roads and old logging paths in a vehicle to get away for a long time. It's alot easier on my back and knees when my truck carries most of the weight! I haven't really done much in the way of modifying my truck. It's my DD so I don't want to mess with it too much. The cargo capacity on these trucks is notoriously low and I'd rather spend my money when I NEED something, factoring weight, rather than for the cool factor. But it'll still get me back into the woods!

So I'm looking forward to learning from the members here and discovering some new places to go now that I have the time. I'm looking forward to being here!

G'day folks:

1) Sacramento, CA
2) Just swapped my 08 4Runner for a '23 Ranger FX4
3) XP is somewhere between novice and intermediate.

Been down plenty of remote county/forest/blm roads and dispersed camping, but never organized my own multi-day, multi-camp trips. Now that I'm a new dad, back backing trips are perhaps a few years out, but overlanding has immediate potential. My truck is all stock at the moment, probably will be for some time, but looking to meet some outdoor-minded folks in Sac Valley to hit the Sierras, northern coast, and other areas I don't yet know of. New to California within last couple years.

Appreciate all the guidance and relationships I've yet to build. Best,
Brian

Hi everyone, Justin here. I've had this account for a while but haven't posted before. I am in Yucca Valley, CA and have a moderately modified 2007 FJ Cruiser that I call the Yellow Submarine. I would say I'm fairly experienced, having done many overland trips through CA, AZ, NV, UT, OR and WA over the last 10 years.

Hello everyone! James here. New to the overland community and am really exited to explore. Located in Beaverton, OR. Have a Go Rhino XRT rack with a hard top tent on an F150.
