Hiya! We are Mark and Kristen from Orange County California. View attachment 148623 We are looking for a camping group to explore weekends in baja or camping about So Cal. We're happy to help out however. Willing lead, after we've had a chance to follow a few times. We tend to tow a teardrop trailer when we camp. Thanks

Hello from Alberta, Canada, new to overlanding so I am a novice always wanted to do it but have lots of experience in camping, and outdoors stuff.
Current vehicle is a 2019 Chevy Colorado crew cab 2.8 L diesel as for mods the only thing it has is a 2 inch front levelling kit with more to come, Future mods are better tires, storage in the box, a canopy and a rooftop tent and then we’ll see how it goes from there.View attachment 148571

Hi All,

Eric from Boston, and my wife Beth.

after 20 years flinging race cars around the track all over the country the slower pace (and dollar burn) of overlanding is our new interest.
We are Noobs. Our plan is to learn some skills and take some sort trips with our '10 Tundra CrewMax, and if we really get into this, we'll more than likely buy someone else's built rig instead of developing this one. BTDT with race cars.

Mostly here to research and learn right now.

BTW, the Tundra has served phenomenally well towing heavy loads all over the eastern part of the country. Great truck!

Greetings all.

My wife and I are near-full-time travelers, stopping occasionally for children, grandchildren and all the associated holidays and celebrations. Our base camp is in Southern California and we spend most of the time in our 2018 Punk’n Metallic Jeep Wrangler JLUR when not flying elsewhere. I’ve been traveling my entire life and have 30 something years in the off-road space. This is our second year of traveling mostly from the Jeep (Natasha) with prior years hauling one behind our RV. I look forward to connecting with others.

Warmest regards and stay safe all!

Hello, my name is gypsy, I am from the Ozarks, in an effort to appease my wife I just sold my former overlanding rig a 1987 Jeep YJ on 37's that I built and pretty much loved for the last decade, my brother bought it so I can still play with it from time to time but a Subaru Forester right before this all started haven't had a chance to take it off road and figure out what mods I want to do to begin with. Former wildland firefighter which is how I got into overlanding
Welcome To Overland Bound!
And yes Wildland Firefighting is a bit like overlanding, just not with as many people. ;-)

Greetings everyone,

My name is Aleem, I am very new to Overlanding as a whole and am looking forward to learning from all of your experiences and creating my own. I recently picked up a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR that I am planning to use as our overlanding rig and currently planning out mods. I am based out of Fort Collins, Co. I have some experience in off-road driving (rally style) but nothing like what overlanding will bring. I just ordered my membership, and look forward to growing with this community.

Here's my bare rig:

My name is Adam

I have been camping, hiking and actively practicing wilderness skills for many years. Originally from northern California, Anderson Valley area, now firmly ensconced in the midwest.

Happily married, 2 kids, 13 year old english bulldog.

Our rig is a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

I do all my own stunts as far as mechanical repairs and upgrades are concerned, and enjoy fabricating and making my own gear, it's not always pretty...

At any rate, glad to be here and look forward to becoming an active member of this community.
Welcome to Overland Bound Adam.
Big change to move from Mendocino County to Missouri. Lots of overlanding just south in the Ozarks, we were there last year and it was a blast.

I'll actually be doing more with the Midwest group as I am in the Missouri side of the Ozarks. Common misconception that the Ozark suggest in Arkansas.
