Hello from Nash Vegas!

The other day, my Doctor said "You need to get a hobby." I am a semi-retired workaholic who has decided revisit the activities I enjoyed in the past. Fishing, camping and traveling the highways and byways. I feel confident this community can help fulfill my needs.
Hobby turned obsession for me lol! Welcome!!

What’s up new member here! I have been in the overland/off road community now for 3 years but have been an outdoorsman my whole life. My current load out is my 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO and the off road camp trailer I built. I live in the SoCal area so I’ve done a lot of overlanding and off-roading in the San Bernardino Mountains, Eastern Sierras, Anza Borego and Mojave Desert. I am looking forward to heading out to different places soon. I am also looking forward to taking delivery of a new rig I’ll be building. I have on order a 2022 Ford F-150 Tremor. So stoked for that. Looking forward to being apart of OB community and learning from y’all.

Hi Overland Bound community!

I actually joined back in early December 21, so now I am finally getting around to introduce myself. I live in Arkansas and enjoying the retired life. I am one of those folks that called "overlanding", camping back in the day. I haven't done serious overlanding in quite a while, but I am ready to get back into it. Back in the late 60s, 70s and 80s I did quite a bit of overlanding/camping in Baja, going to beaches both in the Pacific side and the Sea of Cortez side. I also did explorations in the mountains of Baja, namely the Sierra Juarez and Sierra San Pedro Martir. The vehicles we used ranged from a 60s vintage VW cargo van, a VW Thing and my favorite, a Land Cruise FJ55. The latter was a rust bucket, but it got me everywhere I wanted to go.

My current rig is a 1984 Land Cruiser FJ60, that I have been preparing for overlanding in the last four years as budget permits. I think it is pretty close to being ready.

Hopefully I will meet other members of the OB community to ride along with.

Hey, finally got around to joining! My name's Josh and I'm located in Trenton Ontario Canada. My current "rig" is a 2012 dodge journey. Not the most capable but for what I had available to me it will do. New to overlanding but I grew up in northern Ontario and my weekends were spent wandering the bush and exploring. Lots of backpack camping.

Great to have you, Josh. Welcome to Overland Bound! It’s not about what you drive, it’s about the passion.
