[El-Dracho]

Just joined the Overland Bound Community and am feeling my way around. I consider myself a novice , but in the late 70's I did my graduate field research (I'm a geologist) in the Death Valley area and did a fair bit of off-road travel there. I've also camper vanned in New Zealand, Tasmania, Utah, California and Idaho.
I've spent many days backpacking, kayak camping and car camping. I've just ordered a 2024 Tacoma TRD off-road with a 6 ft bed and a Tune pop-top camper to go with it. I plan do do a simple build out and am hoping to get some ideas and advice from the forums and other members as I do so.

Hi Bill and welcome to Overland Bound!

Location: Southern Utah
2023 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss
Overlanding Experience: I have been camping for a little bit, honestly got into it while I was in the Army, every time we went out somewhere, i loved being out in the middle of no where, living off the land. Europe defiantly has to have been my favorite place to "camp" overseas. But in regards to overlanding, Im definitely a noob. I sorta started getting into it with my old 2013 Ram, just a basic truck bed tent. Now I have a new 2023 Colorado TB and planning on getting a softtopper for her. I personally dont like roof top tents (absolutely love them on everyone elses rigs, just not a fan for mine). Can't wait to get into it, I love the aspect of just being able to get up and go to a sick new spot! I find alot of really cool locations while flying helicopters in my area.

Hello Luke! Welcome to Overland Bound and thank you for your service! Hooah!

Hello all, been looking for a site that shares an appreciation for the overland adventures and you seem to fit the bill.

 

[BasketCaseTech]

Greetings fellow travelers! New member here but have been doing this for a while now, although until recently just figured I was just driving through the woods and camping when I got tired... never realizing there was a name for it lol! I am a wrecker and recovery operator which is slightly helpful when off roading and needing to help someone or myself get out whatever mayhem just happened. Graduated from my 07 FJC to a 2023 Gladiator (JTR) about 6 months ago and have been upgrading and modding as much as my time and finances can afford, seems to be an ongoing process and most definitely an addiction. Most recent long trip was solo last fall on the WABDR sections 1-5, having to bail the last section due to a battery problem in Conconully. No lift at this point but the 35's on the rubicon suspension seem to be a pretty good combination to get me where I need to go. Looking forward to meeting some great people out there!
