Hi, been watching the YouTube channel and thought I'd join and see what this is about. I have a 2019 Raptor that I put a tonneau cover, rack and rooftop tent onto and I'm looking to keep building it out. My goal is convenience, to be honest. The idea of exploring in my truck, stopping somewhere and then setting everything up super quick and easy sounds amazing. I've done a lot of car camping and I've done a lot of off-road exploring, but I rarely mix the two.
Hello Sean, welcome to the OB family.

Hello all, I'm Larry Kephart from central Indiana. Been wheeling and camping for over 50 years with starting to love the outdoors as a young boy. Now I enjoy the overland community with my family and friends. Every time we go out we have a fantastic time. Hope to see you on the trail.
Welcome Larry!

Hello everyone. My Name is Ryon. I am retiring from the military in January 2022 and moving back home to Oregon. I just got a new (to me) 2013 Lexus GX 460, and I'm looking forward to getting her off road and doing some camping. If you have any recommendations for the Central Oregon area, I'm all ears.

Ryon
Thank you for your service and welcome to Overland Bound Ryon. You are going to love that GX.

Hello my name is Bryce and I and very new to over landing and camping as a whole. So far I have camped in Mt. Charleston and Lytle Creek California, both with my amazing and beautiful girlfriend. We are traveling in a new to me 2013 Chevy Silverado with a bed tent. We have built a raised platform for a queen sized bed so we have ample room in the back. We live in Las Vegas and hope to explore all around.

ITM, Robert here from central Kansas.
I am working on a 1975 Dodge Ramcharger SE to be our overlanding rig.
My experience is lots of vehicle based camping, etc. in my youth, but mostly camper based exploration of regional lakes and wildlife areas in recent years.
Welcome from NE Oklahoma Robert!

What’s up OB- I’ve been following Michael for over 3 years on his YouTube Channel and have always been passionate about the great outdoors. Professional life has gotten in the way of adventure/exploration, but I’ve decided to get back to what I love, equip myself with a proper rig, and go exploring!

I own a ‘18 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon on 33” BFG K02’s, with plans to build out over time as/if needed.

Located in the SouthEast in Chattanooga, TN

Glad to be a part of this community!

My name is Paul. I just got a 1999 Land Cruiser that I am building out. It has had the same owner for the last 20 years and now has 244k miles on it. So far I have just done some baseline maintenance. I have sliders and a lift on order. I also have a truck/travel trailer that I like to boondock in. I look forward to meeting some fellow members in the Bay Area/Sacramento Valley, and beyond!
