Good evening OLB. Just getting my feet wet to these forums, but long time camper and new to overlanding (used to backpacking, so bringing all of the amenities is great!). Currently have a stock 4 door Geo Tracker and a Thule Tepui tent on it, but looking for something that's a little more comfortable/capable of driving longer distances and maintain highway speed in the hills, thankfully there's not many near me in Central Ohio! Looking forward to learning and sharing with like minded people.

Sam here. Just moved out to Springfield Missouri. I've always been an avid camper when I lived in Southern California and wanted to add to the experience with my love for trucks. I was always a 4runner guy, mostly 1st and 2nd gens, but recently bought a 14 ram 1500. I've never but a vehicle from scratch looking forward to it with this truck. Im a novice when it comes to builds and off-road so any tips are very appreciated.
It’s great to see such a large and widespread community of overlanders here! I’ve always enjoyed camping, but it’s been some time since I’ve gotten out there. I’ve done some short adventure trips with my vehicle here and there, but it was a recent trip to Michigan’s UP that really got me itching for more overland adventures and wanting to take it to the next level. I’m eager to get out there with my vehicle and do some more exploring!

Hello from Sherwood Park Alberta Canada
A bit about myself, enjoy the great outdoors camping hikes bikes skiing and adventure seeking. I have a 2004 Nissan Titan named Bubba which seems to keep my wallet empty and our RZR named the Earth Rover inspired by the Moon Rover a few KM,s over head. Look forward to the new year and more adventures

Northern California here, looking to go on a few first time trips doing true overlanding. Experienced with camping and car camping only, but not offroad. No capable rig yet, explorer only which I don't want to bang up.
Looking to possibly rent a rig for our first 1 or 2 trips this year and next, to see how we like it, and what we like to drive.

Hi Kevin,
Welcome to Overland Bound!
That's a good looking Outback!
Even though my primary adventure vehicle is an old Jeep, I also have a Subaru Crosstrek. It's great for our slightly less aggressive trips to nowhere.
Enjoy!

Welcome to Overland Bound
You should have no problem getting advice on the forum about the Gladiator (Swiss Army Knife of Overlanding) Just pose the question on several of the paiges that seem to fit the question.
