Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the Crew Jesse. What are you paddling? Old Towne? She looks well maintained.

That one's an Old Town Charles River 159, and the not pictured ones are an Old Town H2Pro and a pair of Wilderness Systems Tsunami Kayaks (140 & 145). The Charles River did well on the Allagash 2 years ago, though I wish I had the Royalex 17 footer. It's a beautiful boat.

That Old Towne is a nice boat. The Royalex needs a heap of gear inside to keep her on track. We’ll have to start a canoe thread. Tell me what you think about the Ally DR 16.5. I don’t have room on the RTT for a ridged.

I’m excited to be a part of this community, and look forward to meeting some of you at future events, or just in passing.

I’ve been a 4x4 guy since early in my Navy career (subs), as well as an avid backpacker, but as my body gets older, the overlanding adventures look more and more attractive.
My current rig is a pretty stock 3.6 2011 WK2 Overland, which is my 7th GC, and my third 2011 Ovi. I have built a few, and not built a few. I think my plan is to have some fun with this one, though.
I live in Southern California and work in SD. Originally from Boston (go B’s!), stationed everywhere that we have subs, and have taken the subway around the world on several different tracks. Now I would like to do that with the normal earthling side of the planet - the land.

Again, I’m excited to be a part, learn some new knowledge, or perhaps share some of my own.
Cheers!

Hello Everyone,

I'm Jesse, and I live in Portland, Maine, USA. Currently I drive a 2016 Ford Escape 2.0L but am hoping to pick up a '21 Tacoma next month. I would say I'm somewhere between the advanced beginner and competent level with overlanding. It's been over 8 years since I last did any off-roading style adventures. I'm planning next year to build a teardrop trailer to have a more timely camp setup.

I've been meandering the forums for a while, and thought I'd join in occasionally on them. Some great discussions, and many different folks which I love.


Here's a photo, and I'll try to get one after I trade in the Escape. During the non-snowy months my car almost permanently wears a canoe or kayaks as a hat.
