Howdy, I'm new to the "overlanding" thing, most of my previous experience with the great outdoors is tent and hammock camping, but my wife and I are looking into travel trailers to take with us that have a little more amenities, but are tough enough for crappy back roads.

I would love to learn from your experiences and and special sights.
We were travelling in an old Mercedes G-Class we bought from Swiss Military. As we are now 3 we needed to upgrade to a 4 seated car :-)

Hi all.
Viv here from Margaret River, West Australia. We (me, wife, kids and sometimes the lazy hound) have been overlanding for about 2 years. We got into it mainly for the children (7,4) so we could get them out and about, reality is, we probably do it for ourselves....
Have a 2005 Nissan Patrol, fairly stock. We travel as light as possible using a touring tent and stretcher bunks. The best thing is just getting out there and exploring whether it be a weekend trip or a 2 week mission.

Hi, my name is Shane im from the Western NC area. I have been offroading most my life and camping all my life so I figured why not combine the two. My rig is a 99 XJ with 6.5 lift and 35's.. it has made quite the transformation in a short amount of time but still alot of work left to do. Looking forward to meeting some members and exploring new places.

Hi all, Michael from Newberg, OR. I just found out about Overlanding via a local veteran's group this year, and bought a 2000 Toyota Tacoma to learn technical driving and build out a vehicle. I've upgraded the brakes and suspension so far, researching what to do next. My goals are just to spend more time in the outdoors, and to learn a bunch of new stuff.

My current truck with a truck tent on it until I figure out what bed rack/RTT to choose:

Hello quick introduction, new to overlanding via a 4 wheel vehicle, but have been doing it on motorcycles, both dual sport and sport bikes for years. Started a 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4X build this year after I broke it in with 5K miles on it. Scratches are character... Plan to do lots of trip unfortunately there are no areas near me so will be doing some miles to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Have for lack of a better word, wondered into Wonderlost at a car wash and have really enjoyed the films you two have put together. Looking forward to meeting some of you in the future.

Hello Overland Bound community. I am brand new to Overland Bound and overlanding in general. Going to be heading out with some buddies late February 2020 to give the Mojave Road a shot and see what it's all about. My starting platform in a 2006 F-250 which I have owned since new, done nothing to and only put 60k miles on in the last 13 years. Looking forward to getting out there and exploring.
