Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hi all, excited to be a part of this group. Fairly new to the world of overlanding but have been building up my dream rig for the past two years. Moved to the Seattle, WA area a little over a year ago from Austin, TX and am really enjoying getting used to the new terrain out here on the PNW. I would love to learn more about overlanding safety, recovery, and driving best practices. I mostly travel alone, so I'm a little more timid than I would like to be but have still managed to put about 5k off road miles on my truck in the rear I've been out here.

Dig that setup. I like the hammock too. Is that a Trasharoo bag I spot on the spare?

Hi All,
I live in southern New Hampshire and just traded in my 07 Tundra for a shiny new 19 Tacoma OR—in quicksand. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I love it. So much so that I can’t bring myself to take it out and pinstripe it just yet. I will post a picture later, but wanted to get my first post completed. Don’t know much about overlanding, but I think I would like it. I went “off roading” a few times in the last few years. Let’s see, I went squirrel hunting once on a logging road with my 07 Elantra, I went deer hunting with my 11 Ford Escape in some secluded backroads in Weare, and I crawled on about 5 cubic yards of New Hampshire river rock that was delivered to my driveway for a landscaping project. So, in other words, I’ve got almost no experience with any of this stuff. That said, I like to camp, hunt and have always wanted to do some cross country unpaved driving, but not necessarily serious rock crawling. So there’s my book and my first post. If you’re in New Hampshire, reach out and let’s see what this overlanding is all about. Thanks!

Welcome from WA, I happen to be one that likes the sand taco but went with the cement in the same model as you. I’m also pretty new to the group so take what I say with a grain of salt. Everyone will have a different opinion on what overlanding is and isn’t. What you drive doesn’t matter as much as getting out and using it. Don’t go buy things you don’t need, but instead get out and find out what you need, based on what you do or couldn’t do. On the forum use the search feature but don’t be afraid to ask questions. Remember at one point everyone here started knowing nothing about driving let alone ““overlanding” . So no matter how amazing the builds are or adventures look they all started with someone just wanting to drive somewhere cool. That said there are a lot of experienced members here that are willing to help. Just my random two cents, and again welcome to OB.

I am a retired 71 yr old grandmother living in San Jose, CA
who loves being in nature, camping and hiking. I am uncomfortable solo camping on ground with human and animals roaming so just got a Tepui Ayer on my 2006 Honda CRV. I borrowed a RTT from a friend of my son's and went on a solo trip close to home prior to purchase of my Tepui. Taking off next week for first solo in Ayer. I have a strudy 3 step folding step stool to assist with set up and take down.

Hi everyone ( Hafa Adai and Aloha)
No rig here yet, I do have a Kia Sorento that we use for simple local camping, lakes parks, etc. My wife and I are Overlander wanna be's. I grew up in the islands - Guam, Hawaii now live in the biggest island - Texas. Hoping to buy a jeep here really soon. As far as experience I am definitely a novice, hoping to do research here and ask questions from all of you pros. Thanks for the add to the group!

Good morning. My name is James and I'm very excited to sign up here. I am new to overlanding for the most part. I've run the K Trail in Oklahoma before it was closed. At least I think it was before it was closed! I generally take off weekends and run forest roads in the Ouachita national forest. I have a 09 Jeep Wrangler I use for my trips. I live in Gun Barrel City Texas.

Hello James (@RubiJames ) , welcome from Oklahoma. I may live in Oklahoma now but I am originally from Texas and I had to look up the town you live in. I had never heard of it, cool town name and right near the water.
I also see that you are a ham, feel free to join in on our Friday evening Echolink net.

[Taco]

Location: Cincinnati Ohio
Rig: 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD
Experience: Really don't know how to put this since I don't really enjoy off roaders who brag about how good they are. I've done a decent amount of overlanding in Kentucky on the DBBB and the KAT and have done a little bit here in Ohio especially in the Hocking Hills area. Overlanding on the DBBB is what brought me here trying to figure out where certain trails were and seeing some of the members YouTube videos for the area.
