Hey guys! I live in Lancaster PA, but grew up in Utah on the trails. I'm running a 2004 Subaru Forester XS build, and loving it. I'm new to overlanding on my own, but grew up four wheeling in southern Utah, and going on excursions in other people's builds. Excited to get my kids out so they can enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks Prerunner1982!
I'm actually headed up to Oklahoma this weekend in search of some trails to camp on. Do you know of anything that might be accessible with all the COVID shutdowns going on? We were especially looking at the forest service roads around the broken bow area, such as east of the lake.

Thanks!

I think this is pretty much a requisite spot for overlanders in this area. Has a great view, though it is on the west side of the lake. Not familiar with the east side.

Howdy folks,


Miller from SC here. I’ve been dabbling in this for some years now, but the current pandemic has me pining for fields afar. Planning my great XC road trip for 2021 from the east coast to the Pacific and then making a left and driving on until Todos Santos. Currently have a full stable, though it’s probably time to part ways with my modestly built surf rig LC And focus full time on the 2019 4R. Starting with the shoes and working my way up, I’ve got a pretty decent idea of what I’m going for but still flexible as to the finished project. Look forward to connecting!

Hi y'all, I'm Michael and come from Northwest Georgia. I'm kinda a novice to this but there's not that many trails around here like out west (That I know of). More or less a weekender for camping. I have a stock 2002 Tundra 2wd as a starting point. I am open to any and all ideas. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I'm Howard, and I'll try to follow the OP's format closely!
1) Picture View attachment 151361
2) I'm moving soon to DFW area and look forward to exploring everything within driving distance, especially in the OK and AR areas.
3) My "Rig" is just a stock 2013 Subaru Forester, but it serves my needs well and I feel very blessed to own it!
4) Experience: I'm BRAND NEW TO THIS! Most of my travel experience has been foot-based travel. I have a just a handful of offroad driving experiences and have never completed an overland trip, so I'm a blank page in this regard.

I'm interested in learning all about well-planned, responsible overland travel. I am a brand new medical doctor interested in disaster relief and expeditionary medicine to remote areas, and though I'm a long way from being capable in those environments, I'd love to be connected with any members with experiences related to remote medicine.

Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to learning from you!

Hello y'all! We are The Meyer Life and we are from the Bay Area, California. We just purchased a 2019 Ram Rebel and we are setting it up for our overlanding adventures. We used to use our Jeep Compass but the kids (3 Boys) quickly outgrew that! We are no strangers to camping and exploring! Excited to be new members of Overland Bound!IMG_3388.jpg

Hi everyone!

I am new here, so I better respond to the “Start Here” tread.

I live in Norrtälje that lies just outside of Stockholm Sweden.
I drive a 2010 Land Rover Defender 110

Have only done a few trips with the family to Norway, Denmark and Åland. Nearly no off roading.IMG_3301.jpg
