Currently setting up my Tacoma with overland gear as we speak. My family and I are super excited to start this and meet cool people

Welcome to the OB crew

 

[Big G]

Hello everyone.

I am Mike.

View attachment 182446

I drive truck for a living, and waste my money on Hunting, Fishing, Camping gear, and buying my wife NEW 4Runners.

I have a lifted 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport w/ winch and front bumper, a Back Rack and a Decked Draw system.

I grew up in the Northern sections of the Western Provinces, NT and the Yukon.

Outdoors and camping was and has always been a lifestyle and not a hobby, so I have a fair amount of bush experience.

My rigging, winch and recovery experience is from Oil Field work as a driver operating Winch tractors and bed trucks( single steer and Tandem steer axles) and lumping for boom trucks and Cranes.

I am also a licensed Amateur radio Operator with my Basic, Advanced Licenses, and 5 word Code. I also hold Licenses in the Maritime and Aeronautical radio Service. I normally have my VHF/UHF and HF radios in my transport truck and Hang around on 14.300Mhz on HF, but currently my boss has me driving Demo trucks for the next few months so nothing installed right now.

Hello Mike, welcome to the OB community. That's quite a resume.

 

[T. Stanley]

Hello All.... finally got my number and am a part of this group. Looking forward to meeting others...

Welcome to the OB crew, if you are looking to gain some overlanding knowledge, head over to the Boot Camp threads, lots of good info

 

[Magic Mike]

Hello, My name is Christopher. I'm not completely new to Overlanding but I am new to overland Bound and I'm happy to be here. I have been thinking of joining for a couple of years now but just never did until recently. I have a 2012 JK 2 door based out of Northern California. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I did our first desert run and completed the Mojave road. It was an amazing trip!

[Magic Mike]

Greetings folks. Benn lurking here a bit.

Waiting on my 2021 Bronco to get built.

I had a 1968 Bronco for years. More of a 3-4x/year rock crawler truck. Traded it <kicking self> years ago. My current overland rig is a BMW R1200GS. I'll include a pic. I'm located in Manteca, CA and sometimes in Boulder Creek, CA. (long story).

As far as overlanding experience, well.... Lots of week long trips into the woods on the motorcycle, and some rock crawling with my old 68 back in the day. I was sooooo stoked when Ford announced the new Broncos. I'm one of those folks who plopped down $100 on the first day.

I guess I'd consider myself a n00b. in the grand scheme of things here. Hoping to learn, make some friends, go on some trips.

Here's my current "overland rig"

[MarioT'sCJResto]

Hello my name is Rick

Thanks for having me. For years I have been a bit of a extreme hiker, having hiked several hundred miles of the Continental Divide Trail; Pacific Crest Trail & John Muir Trails.

Being outdoors in nature is important to me. I recently purchased a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, which will become my overlanding rig over-time.

While not novice to leave no trace behind, I am a noice when it comes to overlanding with vehicle.

Look forward to learning.

My roaming area is varied, I am currently in the USA, but frequently head back to Scotland.

Welcome Rick, Best Regards from UpState NY.

 

[MarioT'sCJResto]

Good evening. My name is Derek and I have finally became a member. Been a fan for a long time. I am an experienced overlander and love everything outdoors. I live in Northern Kentucky and my rig is a 2016 Wrangler 4 door.

Derek, great looking Jeep.
Best regards from UpState NY

Been reading threads on "light weight" recovery gear. Things have come a long way from the shovel, 2x10s, rope and come along of my youth. After dragging a 29' travel trailer around the country, we are now looking at the AT Overland Atlas. Not looking to get into serious mudding or rock crawling, now looking at some more remote camp sites near trail running events. Truck is my DD so only mild mods to meet our needs. Liking the flow of what I've read here.

 

[DarkWolfAdventure]

Hello hello!

I'm Andy
Based in Colorado.
No rig at all at the moment, unfortunately.
I'll go with experienced-ish? Grew up in CO spending as much of my free time as I could out in the mountains and exploring new places every chance I had.

Spent the last year in Guam for work. Excited to get back home here in a couple months, get me a new rig to start building, meet some adventure buddies and hit the mountains and trails again!
