Hey there,

I'm new to the group, and new to Overlanding. I've driven Range Rovers and Subaru Outbacks in some cool off-roading areas, but wasn't aware of such a large network of trails near me. I recently purchased a 2019 Forester Sport, and have taken it out in the Pine Barrens of NJ for some fun. It has less then 5,000 miles on it and was able to keep up with the big tired Jeep's that were off-roading the Pine Barrens with me. I live in CT and would love to hear what trails are around me.

Hello, I'm Ky. I drive a 2013 wrangler unlimited. I live about an hour away from the red river gorge in Kentucky so I frequently visit the daniel boone backcountry byway. My favorite place to explore is out in the rocky mountains and Utah.

Hi my name is Marc and I am from Central NC area. My 9 year old and I are trying to do more expedition trips.

The Current rig is a 2015 RAM 1500 Hemi with complete factory skid plates, a 10k Smittybilt winch and Ko2 tires. I have a small 3 inch lift waiting to be installed.

Looking to put a better bumpers on the beast and a expedition rack over the bed for a tent.

I have off road experience but not much experience in setting up a truck for expedition trips, I am looking for any input I can get and look forward to learning as much as I can.

Here is a beauty and the beast.

Hi all!

Kaylee and Mike here. We’re in Surprise, AZ.
Our 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport 4x4 introduced us to this lifestyle a couple years ago and we’ve been slowly building up gear and experiences traveling all over Arizona. We camp/offroad just about every weekend here. Check out IG @theterkwiththesnerk to explore our state with us

Good Morning all,
My name is Ron Watford and I’m from Evans, Georgia. I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. I’ve been wanting this platform for years and finally, things fell into place. I can’t wait to get it off the pavement.
My Dad and his buddies didn’t call I “Overlanding” when I was a kid, the just called it off-roading and camping. We went a lot when I was little but I got away from it until I joined the Navy. That’s when I unofficially raced on-road vehicles....off-road...in reverse...until they broke. (Disclaimer: This post is not an admission of guilt to he destruction of government property.) Looking forward to meeting you out on the trails...

About time you finally showed up =)

Hi everyone,

I'm Jordan with Jasper Outdoors (which isn't really anything other a new personal blog at this point, but we'll see what happens). I moved to Casper, Wyo. in November of 2018 for work, and I'm originally from Jacksonville, FL. I have just started getting into the overland scene, and I try to get outdoors every weekend. There are many beautiful places in the state and I discover something new each time I head out. You can see where I've been by checking out @JasperOutdoors. My college roommate and best friend (Matt) is working on finding a job out here by the end of the year. He's got a 2019 SR5 and I've got a 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. Looking forward to being a part of the overland community.

Greetings all.

I'm Eric and currently live in Maryland. Used to off-road, backpack, hike and camp a lot when living in AZ, CO and NM. Got away from it after moving east with young kids. Started to get back into camping again a couple of years ago and did my 1st "overland" trip last year with my son ... a good old fashioned 4K+ mile road trip to the Rockies. Love the outdoors and exploring new areas. Current set up is a 2017 Tacoma with upgraded suspension, sliders, skids and a bed full of camping and fishing gear.
