Location: West Harrison, Indiana... Timberview Acres
Current Vehicle: 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Overland Experience: Beginner
Overlanding Interest: Well, that can be a long detailed story but in short, I love the outdoors. I am very mechanically inclined, I can fix about anything, or build about anything, so this overlanding adventure type of hobby if you will, made sense to me at my young age of 54. I feel like I got a little sidetracked in life with being so focused on work and I want to change all of that. I started watching you YouTubers like Lifestyle Overland, Expedition Overland etc etc and have been incredibly encouraged while watching that content. I wish I could quit my job, pack up the family, and go......:) For, one trip at a time!

Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice? But, until that day I will plan, prepare, and take trips to get myself acclimated so I’m ready when I can.
Blessings to you in your desires!

Hello everyone, I am Swamy and i am super excited about joining the Overland Bound family and making my first post.
I live in Los Angeles (Santa Monica area).

I drive a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek which is 99% stock, except for upgraded headlights.
I am a beginner overlander with some experience over technical terrain and a lot of overnighters in national forests alone.

Looking forward to making new friends and a lot of more overland adventures.

Vehicle: 2020 Jeep Gladiator
Overland Experience: ?

I grew up hunting, camping, and wheeling with my family, but this overland style of four wheeling is still somewhat new to me, and I'm still gathering all the gear to make everything smaller and lighter. I think my buddy has sent me links to this forum before, but I found it yesterday trying to look for tailgate trash carriers. I've been a gearhead for my whole life whether it be cars or trucks, but the whole Jeep thing is still somewhat new to me. I'm loving it though

Welcome to the team! If you find yourself in the Memphis, TN area, look us up. We want to do an overlanding trip in Australia within the next couple of years.

-Hannah Carpenter, H&B Adventures OB#30662
Thanks! Feel free to reach out if you need any assistance to prepare you trip in Australia.
We have traveled every state (some more than others) and in April 2023 we are setting off for half a lap of Oz.
We just have started building a new vehicle for this trip ;-)
