Just joined today and looking forward to many adventures. Live in SLC, UT but also spend time near Bozeman, MT. I will be overlanding either by myself or with my wife and 2 daughters. First trip this year is Death Valley. Fully vaccinated and ready to go! Have ground equipment, a topper or pop-up campers to choose from. Just bought a Gazelle tent to try out. Primary interests are camping in the trees in warmer weather and the desert in the cooler months.

Hi all

Glad to have found this resourceful and inspirational group.

My wife, Sandra and I have been location-independent since 2016. We have been travelling primarily with carry-on luggage only with the exception of the year we did #vanlife in New Zealand.

We are currently in the planning phase for our next adventure - the big lap of Australia (starting in February 2022) and then further afield.

At the moment, we own a 2007 Toyota Hilux 3.0TD 4WD Extra Cab 5-speed manual Ute. We are planning to purchase a slide-on camper/truck camper so that we can separate them and upgrade the vehicle as and when required.

You can find us at Minimalist Journeys or through various social media platforms as MinJourneys: Facebook | Instagram

Cheers, Paul

Hey Everyone, Newb here and new to overlanding! I love camping and have done all my life, but have always lived in the city and have had cars. Well I finally got a "suv" and have already starting it for overlanding and adventuring.
Anyways just a quick hi before I really dig into the site, hope to meet some other members near me if they exist!
Here's a quick pic of the Foz that I started to outfit and equip!

Hello everyone Frostfamilyvt here my name Stephen. Just saw the app video and here we are. Looking forward to learning as much as possible here because we are new to this. Advice is very welcomed and look forward to receiving it.
We are using a 2005 4runner with a 3" lift using combination of toytec icon and total chaos. 33" falkan wildpeak A\Ts , smittybulit XL rtt and annx . roofrack is a Stephen built because honestly I'm not impress by the strength or price of the major brands and I'm a decent welder. We are currently working on a trailer for longer trips because we are a family. I have been watching the YouTube videos for some time as well as the other major overland channels and it has help greatly. So we look forward to the adventures ahead as work allows.

Whats up everyone!?

New member here, starting a my official journey as an overlander. Just purchased a truck and plan to add a bed rail, and roof rack. Will also be looking into suspension mods to add bigger wheels. The truck is a Ford F-150 XLT [4x4 package and sport package]. I am from California, and soon will be in Austin Texas. I have family properties and storage businesses in Williams AZ, and Lake Havasu / Parker AZ. Grew up going on the water, running in the desert, and always love venturing out. I often fly to various locations and road trip for work as well. I have driven from Vancouver to Ontario in Canada, across the USA, and looking to do more local trips with my rig. I love to wrench on things, have a shop and a few RZR's in AZ. Glad to be here, and share in the experience. Looking forward to learning more about the amazing world of overlanding. I am plantbased (vegan), not judgmental or anything like that, but would be cool to meet others as well!

Will be at the Flagstaff Overland Expo - About WEST — Overland Expo®

Newbie here from Texas, originally from the islands (Guam/Hawaii) Starter rig is my 2013 Kia Sorrento AWD, hoping to hop into a 4Runner by the end of the year. Have always loved the outdoors coming from the islands, now want to explore this beautiful country of ours. Family and friends all over.

 

[Bergie]

Hey everyone, thanks for the welcome. Total off-road novice here, but I want to be able to get to places a normal vehicle can’t. Been working on my truck for about 6 months but I’ve only been on one trip so far...

Welcome to Overland Bound
You live close to a great place to get off road, but Death Valley is one of the best spots for adventure in the US. Plan on as much time there as possible. And on the way hit the Mojave Road from east to west, you won't be disappointed.

Finally jumped onboard and became an Overland Bound member. I have been a lurker and Youtube follower for a while now. Happy to finally be here and see what the forum has to offer!

We have been camping for years, switched to overlanding about 5 years ago on a Jeep Wrangler platform, but had to upgrade to a 2021 Chevy TrailBoss to fit a growing family (including a dog). We are in San Diego and have been exploring Anza-Borrego and Southeastern Sierras to start. My wife runs our Instagram, UrbanFamilyOverland, trying to show that even city folk can overland, though tough to park the rig (haha).

I am very proud to be a part of this group, I have been wanting to become a member for a while and I finally pulled the trigger. Running a 2002 Sequoia now...previous GCO which we had a lotta good times in but I am glad to be rid of. I love this Toyota.

Howdy. wife and I have 2020 Jeep Gladiator w/RTT. Haven't done much with it other than sleeping in hospital parking lot for months. It's a long slightly tragic story. Anyhow, this year we plan on using to surprise, overland with. We are both proven campers. Not sleeping on the ground will be a change. As we outfit the truck with stuff that better suits our needs (not a family of 5). We aim to have fun.
