Hello from the PNW! Somewhat new to overlanding, but an avid hiker, backpack and outdoor adventurer.

Recently bought a 2021 Tacoma and the first week of ownership went on a 7,000 mile adventure from Seattle to San Antonio camping and exploring 7 national parks along the way. Met a few local overland folks this weekend that pointed me here!

Hey Gang,

Just getting started here. I've been camping, hiking, and fishing all my life and got the overlanding bug about 2 yrs ago before I knew it had a name. Anyhow, glad to be a part of the community and look forward to learning and sharing with you all. I drive a 97 Tacoma SR5 with a high top camper shell that is an ongoing project. I call her Goldie and have outfitted the bed with drawers and a sleeper system.
I am in Central Texas and love trips to the coast, hill country, or Big Bend. Feel free to ask anything.

Hello Fellow Overlanders,
We are coming from San Mateo County, Ca. Our rig is a GMC Canyon with a Four wheel Camper. We're still learning but have been up and down the Southwest, and up to Northern Canada.

Hi OB Fam! I’ve been following you on IG and didn’t think to see if there was a forum. I love the places people post up and continue adding ‘must visit’ places to my list. Saw info for a meet up at Brasstown Bald in GA on Jan 2, and trying to plan a visit.

I’ve spent the last 2 years building out a Stewart & Stevenson M1078 into an overland vehicle. It’s a little bigger and not nearly as stealth as other rigs. Had the goal of taking this through Central and South America.

Looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals and having some adventures.
