Hi everyone,

Just a brief note to introduce myself. I’ve been backpacking/camping my whole life, but just started overlanding a few years ago now and cannot get enough! Eastern Sierras, Death Valley, Mojave Rd, Big Bear, Glamis, Sedona are a few of my favorites. Running a 2015 JKU Rubi with RE coilover suspension, 37s, Poison Spyder body armor, Warn bumpers/winch, and a RTT. Live in South Orange County and always up for a trail ride. Thrilled to be apart of the community and look forward to some fun backcountry trips!

Cheers,
Brian

Hello all,
Just joined couple of days ago.

I spent most of my youth and earlier adulthood and first couple years of marriage by as life has away of throwing curses at you I have been on a 20 year hiatus. Bought Jeep this summer and have loved every minute of getting back into camping and over landing.

Hey everyone. I am very new to the overland life however I have been an avid outdoorsman all of my adult years. I am very interested in setting up my 2017 f250 as an overland/camping trip. I am looking forward to learning from each and every one of you. I am located in Western North Carolina. Thanks for having my in the group.

Greetings all!
We are Oniel and Victoria.
We’re located in northern New Jersey and
currently our truck is a 2018 Chevy Silverado 4x4 crew cab. At this point it is all stock as we decided to first build our M105a2 trailer. As our family got bigger in the last 3 years and our kids got older we wanted to get away from the suburban lifestyle by just going down to the park, let the children play and then go home. We truly desired to show them real adventures first around New Jersey by hitting as many lakes as we could with our canoe and with our truck and trailer. We saw several videos by people at Overland Expo East in regard to Overland Bound and how much the community helps each other so there was no doubt in our minds that this is definitely for us.IMG_6009.JPGIMG_3268.JPG

HI everyone!

My name is Jimmy Anderson and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm finishing college at the moment so overlanding is more of a hobby right now, and most of my camping is in my family's cabin in the Jemez mountains. My rig right now isn't much but it's mine and I love it, a 2010 Volvo xc70. I've just gotten it after driving a BMW 3 series for a couple years and with classes I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to the build, but here's how it sits now:

Hey all, just an Ol Country boy here from central Alabama. I've always loved camping and offroading. Basically anything outdoors. We have 5 children and an old 85 Suburban. The kids will be grown and gone before i know it so I want to adventure more with them and make as many memories as We can. We are hoping to get a trailer soon to haul all our gear etc. Hope to meet some of you on the trails this coming year. We are planning a trip to Colorado in 2019. God Bless

Hi there.

This looks like a great forum and a very well kept and clean website - thanks for your efforts. I'm a new member from Canada - my passion is fly fishing and my jeep helps put me closer to stream :)

Location: Ayr, Ontario Canada.
Rig: Currently driving a Jeep Sahara Unlimited. Retired a 95 Lada Niva Cossack and 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport (still miss both)
Experience: Exploring skidoo trails in the summer.
Welcome to OB! Sounds like you have a lot in common with Overland On The Fly on Instagram.

Hank

Hiya everybody,

I'm pretty new to overlanding but not new to off-roading.
Rig is a pretty basic Wrangler 2011 2 Door.
I'm from South West Ohio, Red river gorge is a 2 hour drive but ultimately I would like to venture much farther west
