Hello, my name is Ray. I am in the Fresno, California area. My rig is a 2019 ram rebel. (One part said to post that but another said it's not important ‍♂) I am a novice who decided I would deep dive into this lifestyle about a year ago. I spent a long time shopping for the right vehicle and putting it together. My first trip with it is in a week. I am very excited. I am a very social person who would live to meet some people, share a beverage and explore the world. I hope I get the chance too meet some of you.

New here! My name is Mike Mc. I live in Los Angeles area and travel to Mexico quite a bit, mostly Baja and Baja Sur. I love the outdoors, adventure. off roading, travel, surfing, fishing, kayaking. Kinda retired so I do have some to pursue the fun
I play with a 2012 Ram 2500, 4door, 8ft bed with shell and OH rack. Her name is "Ballena Blanca".
Have been camping all my life, we drove and camped Baja for our honeymoon. Most of my trips are 14 days or less, I hope to change that soon.

Hey Everyone!

I am glad to have become a member, my name is Brandon but some people call me Bronco
My rig is a 2015 Jeep JKU Sport, and a 2008 DR650 :)
I am in the Greater Atlanta Area, I wouldn't call myself an experienced overlander but I do go offroading quite a bit in both my jeep and on my motorcycles.

I recently participated in the Southern expeditions overland challenged in North Carolina.

Overlanding Experience Background:
I'd say experienced in off-road driving, somewhat novice and new in overlanding / multi-day remote trips.

Hoping to get to know some groups in Australia since I basically know nobody here. As well as in my home bound Canada and US!
Still trying to navigate around the platform & figuring out how things work...

Hello From Ontario Canada, My name is Dan and my wife is Cory. We own a stock (for now) 2018 Jeep JK Sahara unlimited and recently purchased a NO-BO 10.6 adventure trailer. We are new to the overland game but have been camping our whole lives and plan to expand our adventures to more remote places. Looking forward to finding new ways to satisfy our need for adventure with the help of this group!!View attachment 99611View attachment 99612

Hello OB community.

I am located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. For those that don't know the area, Ponte Vedra Beach is about 30 minutes SouthEast of Jacksonville. We live about a mile from the Atlantic coast.
At the time of this posting, I have a practically stock 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium with a bunch of Offroad gear waiting for me to install it stacked up in my garage.
Overland Experience level is Noob for sure, but I' looking forward to getting out there, getting dirty and meeting up with others. I'm married and have 3 kids, so the likelyhood of actually being an overland adventurer feels like a pipe dream. I work in Healthcare IT, but used to be a recording engineer (music). I've got my HAM license (KD9CYN) and a German Shepherd that likes to track and find stuff. Surely there are some conversation starters in there somewhere
