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)?
Hi and welcome to Overland Bound!

I am currently traveling in Norway. Where are you located in DK? Maybe when can meetup on my way back to Germany?!

Look around herenand you will find plenty of information re overlanding. Therenis alsomthe european subforum and you could check the Rally Points for upcoming events in your area. In case you have any questions please let me know. Always happy to help.

Greetings from Northern Norway,
Björn

-) Oshkosh, WI
-) 2006 Dodge Dakota 4.7L (just bought it, fixing it up first)
-) My experience is pretty limited to gravel/dirt farm roads.

Just starting to get into it. I've always traveled around state parts, but nothing really off road, and I want some new experiences, so I'm starting to build a rig off the dakota.

Hello everyone. My name is Rodney Neill.
I've recently joined this website in an effort to learn more about the Overlanding community and its wide variety of vehicles.
I am not a 4x4 or an overlanding person per say however I would like to sincerely learn if my product line is a viable option for this community in any way.
Simply put, my products are magnetic methods of storage. Not earth shattering, but they have worked fairly well for those currently using them for their applications.
I have until recently stayed in the original industry which they have been designed for which is the Nuclear Security Industry & Law Enforcement.
I plan to travel this year for some of the meet ups and hope to meet some of you folks.
My IG's are @tactote , @tac_tote_travels, < My Tacoma can be seen there, and the newest account is @tac_tote_overland.

Location is Western Massachusetts. Look forward to meeting some of you!

Hey all!

Name's Justin, and I somehow was totally oblivious to this place until last week. I feel so cheated for all those years! Anyway, I love camping and backpacking (and overlanding, but that's a given, right?), and my spouse tolerates car camping. So, you know, overlanding is a good compromise there, right? I also inherited my dad's tendency to take the long way 'round where possible.

Anyway, I don't have much at the moment. Had a loaded backpack that was stolen out of my office a couple years ago, and still haven't gotten around to replacing most of that, owing to having had our first child around the same time. I drive a 2007 Tahoe, of which it would be silly to post pics (just Google "2007 Tahoe RWD silver"; that's what my rig looks like!), but I just sold my Chevelle, and when the time comes to make good on the promise of getting another arguably-useless vehicle, well, I just learned that the guy up the road from me has a yard full of IH Scouts...

I'm in SoCal, by way of NW Oregon. As far as experience... I'm probably solidly intermediate. Haven't gotten out much in recent years, but I've driven my fair share of of Forest Service "roads" and logging spurs over the years. And last summer, I circuited Haleakala in a rented Dodge Grand Caravan on the Hana/Pi'ilani "Highways", so there's that. :)
Hi Justin,

Thank you for your detailed intro.

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Greetings all,

I'm a novice that loves the outdoors and learning - there's something about this I find oddly intriguing and exciting. My rig is a 2016 Highlander and I'm located in central Indiana. "Adventure is out there" and I'm looking forward to finding it.
Welcome, great place to start for your new addiction!

Hi everyone,

My name is Matthew, I live in Georgia with my wife and 8 month old daughter. Trying to get into this so that we get outside more and set that habit for our daughter. We have gone camping in state parks but that's about it.

Vehicle wise I've got a 2016 Tundra crew cab 4x4 and she drives a 2015 Lexus GX460. They are basically stock, I put all terrain tires on the Tundra and it has a Yaesu FTM400 because I'm into amateur radio.

Looking forward to learning from the group,

Matthew
Welcome, my boys have been taking part since they were little and they love it. Gets easier as they get older, less stuff to bring haha.
