[joffreyhammit]

Hello! My name is Joffrey Hammit. I am from the Arizona, originally from Prescott but I attend school in Phoenix. I currently drive a 2003 Dodge Dakota, and although it is not exactly what one would think to drive when Overlanding, but it has worked well for me so far and I think that is all that matters! When it comes to Overlanding experience, I would probably be considered more of a novice, but I am excited to gain more experience with Overlanding.

 

[NewTxJL]

New member from Dallas, TX.

Current rig: 2019 JL Unlimited Rubicon + Opus Offroad (4 sleeper)

Experience: Never been off-roading, some camping experience. If you count camping around Ring Road in Iceland for 10 days as overlanding, then i do have some experience.

 

[Ken B]

Ken here in Cherryville, NC. Been camping, car camping, hiking and generally loving the outdoors all my life. Been doing the Scout thing for about 15 years now in a number of roles - Den Leader, Scoutmaster, Charter Organization Rep, District Vice Chair - on and on.

New to the "Overlanding" lifestyle. Things changed for me when a black bear tried to crawl in the hammock with me about 2 am in the Pisgah National Forest. Needless to say, I was spooked and decided to go up on the roof. Well, that required a new ride. My new ride - 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD ORP. So far, I have added King shocks, SCS wheels, BFG 285s, Front Runner Rack, Hi-Viz RTT and ARB fridge. Only problem - not seeing any end in sight (just too many goodies). Looking forward to getting involved.

 

[BourbonBuho]

Miguel from Vancouver Island British Columbia.

Current rig: 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser TT

Experience: Plenty of camping on foot. Just got a RTT and want to make plenty use of it.

 

[Redneck7490]

You'll be back. Once you live in places like Utah you cant live back east anymore. Just look at all that beautiful country in the pictures. You have a great group of OB members there in Utah. I have enjoyed many Utube videos made by them. I hope to be able to join them someday. Anyway welcome to OB forums. There is a lot of good people here I have found. Is your Explorer a 4x4 or all wheel drive ? The SUV's make really good campers especially if your solo.

Ive wanted to move back east since right after I moved out here. I’ve lived in NV in the past but had family here so gave it a shot. It’s too dry for me to live here and I am not a fan of snow at all. Lol. People say I’m crazy but honestly I prefer the humidity lol. But the Explorer is a 4x4 and I’m too tall to sleep in the back even with all the seats folded down so I’m in a tent til I can afford a roof top tent then I’ll be going that route.
