Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[RafterJB]

Potable water w/ pump for shower and dishes. Power for the pump, lights, and portable electronics. I have a 2 burner stove and propane bottle I'm trying to figure out how to mount.

This will basically be loaded so we will be trip/adventure ready at a moments notice.

Sounds like a plan. Have seen a few that I like with a slide out kitchen. It was pretty slick when it was set up for the night.

Welcome to Overland Bound Ezra (@ezod98)! I love the fact that you want to take your little ones out to experience more than just the developed campgrounds. It was experiences like that in my childhood the cemented my love for nature and exploring. The PNW is a great place to do that too, so I know you will have great family time. There are a lot of members throughout the Portland/Vancouver area and lots of stuff going on south of you in the Salem area. The best place to start is in our NorthWest Region forum [link]. To find out more about what is going on in western Oregon, you can hit up @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli, as they are the member reps in the area. You should also keep an eye on the Rally Point system [link], as we use that to announce events.

I look forward to meeting you in person. Until then, if you need anything, please feel free to hit me up on the forums @Jedi.

Hey folks!

My name is Jay.
Location: Currently Living in Northern Virginia, but home will always be Colorado.
Rig: 2015 Town and County Mini-van. It fits the wife, three kids and a small dog with stuff really well. Looking to add an adventure trailer to make Nomadic action easier.
Overlanding Experience: Minor. Little bit of Boy Scout adventuring, and my wife insists on camping where there is plumbing available (lot of tummy issues in the family, so this is not unreasonable) but I am looking to get out with the kids more as they get older.

Speak at you all later!

I live in a Southeastern, MA about 40 min ride to Boston or Providence, RI. Normally taking my previous vehicles 4 wheeling on the beaches in Cape Cod, but I am looking forward to more backwoods adventures up north in NH, VT or Maine.

Hello...
Glad to join the Overland Bound Community. My friends call me Paul. I'm new to overlanding and live in a small community in southern Louisiana ...I'm now retired and have more time to enjoy the great outdoors whether from my 4wd vehicle or motorcycle...I officially started my overlanding adventure with a few days traveling to and through the Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Moab, UT back in January of 2019. The views and scenery were spectacular. I'm very much enjoying my travels in my 2019 4runner TRD OFFROAD or riding scenic routes with friends on my 2018 Harley Street Glide Special. Viewing all of the scenic highways and offroad trails is a wonderful experience. And, I agree...adventure is necessary...

Hey Legends...
Name: Jonathan Ballesteros
Rig: Troopcarrier Toyota 1989 in Australia and a Sprinter Van in USA
Location: Floating between Gunnison, CO and Houston, TX
Experience: Feeling pretty good. Lived in a van for a year in Australia. Climbed Mt. Corel, got out of beaches/bogged mud. Still learning.

My expertise definitely comes with minimizing weight penalty due to water for showers. I've designed a product that provides people hot showers with less than 1 gallon of water. I'm eager to find out what the community thinks. Will be debuting the Geyser System at Overland ExpoWest with Tourig.

Jordan here. Born and raised in St Lawrence Valley in Upstate NY just a stones throw from the Canadian border. Now i have the good fortune of living miles from town, in the scenic Adirondack Mountain Foothills. I'm a US Army Veteran (68W Combat Medic), and former LEO. I currently work in private sector Emergency Medical Services. I've been Overlanding for the better part of the past decade to one degree or another and I've had a few different rigs over the years, including a 2006 Tahoe, 2004 TJ, and a 2010 JKU, to name a few. My current rig is a 2007 Jeep WK with a RC 2" BB, riding on 265-70-r17 Duratracs on stock wheels with 1" spacers. I've added an Apex rack to factory cross bars and will be fabricating some steel cross bars to get rack tucked in a little tighter to the rig in the coming weeks. Lighting and Comms setup to follow as well as custom jack, and traction board mounts for the rack. Looking forward to gaining some insight from the forums, and passing along what knowledge i possess to others.

Happy Trails

Hi all,
Stumbled on the forum researching mods and gear for my ‘14 F150 FX-4. I am based out of southern Maryland but looking to relocate to Denver in a few months. We do a lot of car based tent camping, and have been wanting to get out further. Until now, I’ve been an on road guy, having worked on ‘stangs and kit cars. Looking forward to getting off-road.

Hello everyone,

Just came on board, originally from the Bay Area but moved to Central Valley! Can't wait to join on the trail rides. I hope someone can point me to some of the easy level overlanding near me perhaps within 100 miles. My daily driver is a 2013 Nissan Xterra, 4WD just recently purchased and it came with the OB #1108. Anyway, looking forward to meeting fellow overlanders soon.
