[Gus Guerrero]

I am a newbie from southwest Michigan.
I just retired and want to learn about overlanding.
Got myself a 2021 Landie Defender X 110 and,
to break it in, will drive it to California and back to
Michigan this June-July. If it does not fall apart,
I will then start overlanding.

Hey Paul Drawhorn here from southeast Texas! My wife and I are recently retired and are going try out overlanding in my new 2020 Gladiator and Smittybilt RTT on a trip to Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. I’m hoping to get my wife hooked! I hope I can learn to use this forum too! I’m sure I’ll be calling for help. Lol

Hi everyone!
I’m Robert from Lawrence Kansas. My family (wife, 4 year old, 5 month old, and lab pup) have been primitive camping around Kansas since the pandemic. We are so excited to extend our journeys beyond this beautiful state. We’ve slated a 19 day trip to New Orleans and down to Miami, dotted w visits to friends and hopefully some adventurous camping.
We just sold our 2015 CRV which rocked in the car camping for us, and we’ve upgraded to a 2021 SR5 4Runner. Photo included is the beginning of a DIY shelf system. :)
I’m really looking forward to connecting with others, sharing and learning, and becoming more ready for the wild family adventure this summer.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I am Joey from La Quinta, CA. I have been camping and enjoying the great outdoors my whole life, but I am new to the overland experience. My last two vehicles have been a 2006 and 2019 Toyota Tacoma. I had plenty of fun with both trucks, but my wife says I am too old to be in a Tacoma. Now I have 2021 4runner. I look forward to building this 4runner up and learning as much as possible from the Overland Bound community.
