Sup errbody!!

My name is Jamie Watson & I’m from Helotes, TX. My current vehicle is a 2017 GX460. Been around camping & offroading for quite a while now. Not sure why I waited so long to join this community, but like they say “better late than never!”

Hope to see y’all on the trails!
Welcome from Georgetown. We used to live in Helotes long ago. Like when 1604 west was a 2 lane road ago. If you're ever in the area, we'd enjoy meeting you at one of our monthly meets.
Awesome! I’ll check with the wife to see if we’re available. Haven’t been up towards round rock in a long time!

Hello everyone! My name is Carolyn, I am a very new overlander from New Mexico. My rig is a 2018 Toyota Tundra double cab. It is still entirely stock with the exception of the tires which I have upgraded to BFG ko2’s. I’ve done several small trips over this last year but look forward to getting into some more technical stuff as time goes on.View attachment 197200

Hello Everyone!

I hope I am doing this correctly!? We just joined OB our number is 27195. We are very excited to be a part of the community. We love overland camping and exploring wilderness trails. We run a 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. We use it as a dedicated trail rig and so far we have almost 9k of adventure miles on the odo. We love nature, T.R.E.A.D. Lightly and really enjoy the opportunity overlanding gives us to spend time as a family (except Fudge, our bulldog, he hates camping, LOL). We live north of Atlanta, GA so we spend most of our time in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Pisgah National Forest and Cherokee National Forest. We love the mountains and camping up above the bugs and humidity. We run slow paced, stop at waterfalls, eat well (not OVRLNDX / Mama Bear well but we try) and are not looking to break our rig. We are always looking for groups to go with on adventures and other couples and families to team up with on smaller runs. I am an old Eagle Scout so being prepared comes with my background. Really looking forward to all the community has to offer and hoping to provide some value to other members along the way! We look forward to seeing you all out on the trails! - Mike and Beth
Hello Mike, welcome to the OB community. Nice looking set up. Looks like to me you have things pretty well figured out.

Hey all! New member from Rindge, New Hampshire here! My name is Bob and, while I’m new to Overlanding, I have years of experience off road and outside. Before my daughter (now 6) was born, I built/drove buggies, crawlers, and a couple trailer queen built Jeeps. I’m also an avid hiker (I have the NH48 and NH52 under my belt, and my kid is working on it too!) and life long camper and backpacker. We’re also both big snowmobilers! I recently picked up a 2012 R51 Pathfinder and the build starts now.

Can’t wait to meet some of you, and enjoy the roads less traveled with my best little buddy’

Love being out doors more in the last few years. Just put new tires on rig. Looking at building a drawer system in bed, and hopefully Redarc system as well.
