Hey Everyone!

Glad to be part of the community! I’m taking a moment to introduce myself. Looking to participate with folks in some memorable adventures.

1. Photos of my rig attached
2. I’m based in Orange County, CA
3. 2017 F250 mated with Four Wheel Camper Hawk Slide-in.
4. I’ll call myself a Novice. I’ve only been on a handful of expeditions with my rig. I’ve separately enjoyed UTV off-roading and camping with a prepped mentality. Looking to put those together in a big way!

Hello friends!

Stoked to join the community, learn a few things, and hopefully get involved and find some events to go to and people to meet to share the experience with.

1) Picture :
D28946C8-5300-4946-90FB-609518BAF5F6.jpeg
2) Location : Richmond area, VA
3) Rig : 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium
- Just traded in my '07 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD after 12 sweet years together and couldn't be happier to start this journey with the new love of my life
4) Overlanding Experience Background : I've followed overlanding/offroading forums, pages, social media accounts, etc. for years, and I drove my '07 4Runner on two week-long cross-country moves (from VA to CA and back again 4 years later), but I count myself as a novice with no *true* overlanding experience.

Thanks so much for all the helpful information! My dog Gibson and I were at Overland Expo East (we had a day pass on Saturday and Sunday) and loved seeing all the great gear. Maybe some of you even saw us! Looking forward to next year :)

Hey Everyone!

I'm Rob, my background is in engineering and I currently work as a Product Manager for Redridge Industries, a small business located in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula developing high-quality off-road recovery equipment. I also made a personal investment in Overland Bound in 2022.

VVILD_SUBARU.jpg

I'm both a car-guy and nerd, I love exploring new places for their natural beauty or their unique history. I enjoy driving our local trail systems and checking out waterfalls, remote overlooks, and abandoned mining-era buildings, I also love cooking both indoors and out. While I previously have done some basic off-roading and trail exploration I just recently got more into camping and have been much more involved with the overland community through work. On the more indoorsy side of things I am an avid gamer (board, table-top, card, video , you name it...) , and technology enthusiast dabbling in anything from home-servers to 3D Printing.
