...Glad to be here and probably won't be talking much but will definitely be gathering ideas and using some of the resources here for Trip planning.
Welcome, Sean! Let me give you some advice for your adventure with your brother: find the local Overland Bound Rally Point social meets and get out there to meet a few people. You'll be stoked, and can get great ideas for gear and tips all in one spot, not to mention getting and giving invites for a run or two!

Hi everybody!
My name is Simon. I have a 2014 Silverado, two kayaks and a 1990s tent my uncle gave me and my wife.
We are looking forward to spending more time outdoors
Welcome Simon!
Sounds like you're good to go! Just might need a little Camp-Dry on that tent ;)

Hi all. Am a very new beginner member who got interested in Overlanding after watching Mountain State Overland and Expedition Overland on YouTube.

Location: North New Jersey, so miles from any real Overlanding territory.
Rig: Chevy Equinox 2008 AWD, pretty good for road trips.
Experience: watching YouTube :)

Good to have you around. Good content and inspiration

Location: Dubuque, Iowa
Rig: 2013 Land Rover LR4
Experience: Minimal, just got my rig in 2013. My kids are just getting to the age where we can really camp and be a bit more self sufficient. I think I fit in with the demographic that is forming here. Next gen overlanders! My kids love camping and we have taken a few trips, mostly car camping and scenic drives, but not quite real overlanding yet. I plan on getting into it though and my goal is to join a group for a real trip in the near future.
Hej Mike. Outdoors are super important. Glad you are teaching your kids this way.

Hey everyone! :) I just signed up and am excited to connect. I am new to overlanding. In fact, I don't even have my 4x4 vehicle yet, but is about to buy it. I'm living in Denmark, Europe and want to explore Norway and the Pyrenees (Spain, France, Andorra) soon. Anyone else here from Denmark (or close by)?

Hej there Kent. I just did. Am I right that this forum is mostly for North America, and to a much lesser degree for Europe?
