Overlanding Experience: Novice Novice :blush:

Hello All - Very Newbie here.


Have been watching many overlanding/adventure shows over the past months-years....

I am going to start this whole new adventure slowly and see where it will take me. I have done quite a bit of backpacking in my past but nothing with vehicles per se other than getting to a trail head or traveling the west. I have had some very minor overlanding but nothing I would call true overlanding.

My rig is a bit big and heavy for what many of you are doing but it will be my starting place and who knows what I will end up with.

I am looking to start off find some out of the way dispersed camping with my lovely sidekick in Eastern Washington/NE Oregon.

I am also heading to Yosemite in a month and will be doing a few overnight-ers in Easter Oregon and NW Nevada in route. Would be looking for some suggestions for areas to check out that will not be too technical. I do have some stuff kinda thought out but I am willing to change plans with some cool suggestions.

Anyway, Thanks for community like yours. Seems like a top notch group of people.

Hey guys I'm new here!
I currently live in Post Falls, ID and i am currently trying to build my truck into a more overland nature.
My Truck is a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn with the off-road package, so far i have only upgraded the tires to a bigger size than OEM. the tires are a 33" BFG K02 all terrain.
I would say that i am experienced in over landing, I have plenty of off road experience but right now i am just trying to get the truck ready.
Looking to get to know some people on here so i can start making new friends and join an over land team!

Hey everyone, my name is Eddie. I’m located in Tracy, CA or east Bay Area. Been doing some form of camping since I was a kid and I’m a huge car buff so it was only natural for me to get into overlanding. While I would say I’m an experienced camper, I don’t have as much experience with off-roading and vehicle recovery. Currently building a 2020 Jeep Gladiator to be a full time expedition rig. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
