Hey guys!

My name's Marshall and I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I drive a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport. Fairly new to Overlanding but have been on a few 1-2 week long trips with the truck and am in the planning phase of my first American PNW trip.

Hello. Just joined the forum. I’m from north Alabama. Me and my family have been riding utv’s for several years but as the kids get older we have switched gears to overlanding and have really enjoyed it so far. I have a second gen Tacoma with a few mild mods and a fourth gen 4Runner that is stock for now.

Hi all, just a quick intro from me.
Been travelling/exploring for a few years now on 2 wheels and 4. Mostly UK, Europe and a couple of trips to North Africa.
Hoping this year to explore Europe a little more with extra time on our hands having retired (early) from work.
Driving a 2005 Landrover Defender td5 110, and towing an expedition trailer.
Going to be taking our dogs on the trip so we'll be interested in hearing from anyone who's done similar of any recommendations of places to stay or avoid etc.

Hiya Marshall (@Adventurevanisle) and welcome to Overland Bound from just across the sound from you! It looks like you have a pretty nicely equipped rig that has already seen some great adventure. While you are planning to come over to the PNW for adventuring, I am actually working on planning a trip through Vancouver Island and would love to hear about what exploring you have done there. As I am sure you have already experienced, your province is filled with beautiful sites to see for an overlander. It is also a fastly growing area for Overland Bound members, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound Canada West (B.C.) Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well. Of course, coming up at the end of June is the BC Overland Rally [link], which draws hundreds of overlanders from your province and beyond.


I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hello all from sunny South Dakota.

My name is Adam.
I have an 86 CJ7. Currently finishing up some of the winter repairs.

I am new to overlanding but have been a camping/outdoors enthusiast for my whole life.

I am hoping to learn more about overlanding opportunities in my state as well as getting to know more in the community.

Welcome! Great parent move to push the kids outside as much as possible!

Hello everyone, glad to have found this place as it seems more up my alley than many similar groups. I feel I have a lot to contribute here, and look forward to meeting others and helping where I can!

About me:

- Former Combat Medic and Paratrooper, US Army
- Currently stay-at-home-Dad! It's pretty rad. I take the kids out on adventures as often as I can, and am eager to make those trips larger and longer as they grow.
- Always have been adventurous, lived in Europe for several years, love road tripping, but finally got a proper rig this year.
- Currently in SC but moving to WA at the end of this year. Gonna be a hell of a trip there!

My rig:

- Brand new 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, Voodoo Blue

My Experience:

- Lots of trauma medicine
- Driving HMMWV's off road in Germany and Italy
- 10+ years of road tripping and overlanding
