Hi All,

I'm Dave and my rig is a 2014 FJ Cruiser. I'd consider myself a beginner to overlanding. I got into it when family and friends wanted to get into camping but didn't want to/couldn't backpack to the good spots.

I'm in San Mateo, California and excited to join the family.

Hello been camping car camping schooling camping for years. Got my Jeep and gues now I’m overlanding. Just went my first overlanding adventure with a another person in eastern Montana. Ready to do it again and I’m still have two days of this trip left. Thank for a group for like minded people. I’m very simple and a blast with very little here is my 2010 Jeep unlimited rubicon and tent setup.

Been a member for a few months, but finally made it to the East Bay / Tri Valley meet up today and realized I should finally post!

Name: Kurt Bales
Location: San Francisco
Rig: 2016 Chevy Colorado
Experience: In a prior life it was moderate/intermediate back home in Australia, and feels like falling back into novice territory all over again!

Getting back into things after all my international travel plans went out the window!

Most of my trips include my trusty co-pilot Maggie (the black lab) who absolutely loves road trips!

Hello All...I'm a new member as of today. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos the last several months and I am looking forward to learning more about it. I have not bought a vehicle yet, I'm still trying to figure out what kind of truck I want to get. I'm not sure if we want a lite slide in camper or just a camper top or if we want to pull a small lite weight trailer that's built for over-landing. I am open to hear suggestions. We live in the Travelers Rest, SC area and we love the mountains. Next year sometime we want to travel out west to do some beginner type over-landing, camping and fishing in Montana and Colorado. I'll be traveling with my wife, I think she's looking forward to this next adventure. Thank You in advance for any recommendations on any type trucks, any information would be much appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
R Coker

Hello and Welcome to the OB family!

Noob here. I’ve lurked for a while and finally became a member. I drive a 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 as a daily family hauler that gets me around the cattle pasture for fishing. I’m here to get out, explore more, and meet cool and interesting people along the way.

Hello and Welcome to the OB family!

 

[Punk'n_Willy]

Been interested for a while, but now finally moving forward into it a little bit more. Working on purchasing a RTT on the trailer and setting that up and have the kayaks on top of the Jeep since it's a DD and don't go camping as much as I'd like to. Adulting gets in the way.

1) View attachment 209184
2) Northern Virginia
3) 2021 Jeep Gladiator
4) General camping, hammocking. Usually with Trail Ragnar Relays or up in WV.

Hello good people, I am from Sparks, NV and am so excited to part of a good group. I recently purchased a new Ford F250 and want to build it for the overland challenges that await.

Hello friends! I'm Dave from the Napa Valley in California. Glad to have finally joined! Looking forward to being a part of this community. Love my first and 4th gen 4-runners and used some extra time at home during covid to build out a nice camping vehicle. This is a great community I can tell. Have watched every one of the Overland bound youtube videos and have learned so much.

Hello all. Finally retiring in one week and ready to hit the trails

Hello and Welcome to the OB family!

 

[Punk'n_Willy]

New member from central coast area California. Previously did motorcycle adventure touring but I'm getting a bit long-in-the-tooth for another trip up the Dalton Hwy on a motorcycle. Just starting a Silverado build-out with a pop-up style shell camper. SCUBA diving in remote lakes is what I'm after.
