Hey OB Gang,

Ethan from Southern Missouri.

New to overlanding & off-roading but I’ve been an avid hiker & camper for many years so the outdoors aren’t a stranger to me.

Decided to go off the deep-end a few months ago and sold my 2010 JK for a 2019 Ford Ranger 4x4.

Looking forward to learning from you all and of course seeing you out on the trial!

Hi everybody!

My name's Ryan, I'm a New Zealander based in Montreal. I've done a ton of travelling and backpacking and am no stranger to the outdoors, but I'm brand new to overlanding. No real rig to speak of, just a Hyundai Tucson with no rack haha... for now. Looking forward to learning from everyones' experiences, it seems like an awesome activity and way of life.

See you all around!

Hi, I’m Taylor and I joined yesterday. I’m slowly converting my daily driver (‘16 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro) into a true overlander. I’m experienced when it comes to exploring while pulling a trailer but new to overlanding. I’m excited to be here and learn from all of you along the way.

Welcome Drew and Fam,
I am the Northwest Director. @Munga Brown and @Greg Eigsti are your closest member representatives. Due to COVID-18 and the verrying degree of closures throughout the northwest, as well as the rest of the world, all Expos and Rally’s for the year have been canceled. However small excursions and meetups are still happening throughout our region keeping within the Social Distancing standards of our communities. Check out Member Meetups and Overland Bound by Region Northwest, for more information about what is going on near you.
Feel free to message me or the member representative team with any questions or comments you might have.

Hello from the foothills of the North GA mtns! I am Jonathan. I have spent a lot of time in the outdoors, but vehicle over landing is new to me. Looking to make some new friends to go exploring and camping with. About to pull the trigger on an RTT, so I’m itching to put it to use, and most importantly looking to introduce my young son to the great outdoors.
