Hello everyone, new member but not to the custom car community. Have had many show cars over the years but now just want to be able to enjoy life and my family and overlanding and camping is something that we all enjoy!

Location:South East Missouri
Rig: 2018 f150 4x4 with the 2.7 ecoboost, will be starting a build on this from one hundred percent stock in the next few months
Experience: Novice to intermediate, have done some dumb stuff in a rig that was more capable than I was at the time. But now with a family of five, I am way more cautious.
Hello William, welcome to Overland Bound!

Located in north central Louisiana, I’m a frequent camper, overlander, kayak Angler, and overall outdoorsman. I have owned my 4Runner for two months and already completed PeeWees Crossing at SMORR!

I’m down to meet others here in the forum and just add me as a friend. My Facebook is Kyle Hines and my Instagram is @ bayou_angler87. I’m a Vibe Kayaks Regional Staff, Bending Branches Paddles Regional Ambassador, and Savur Outdoors Pro Staff!

1) Denver, Colorado
2) 2000 Jeep XJ - XJ Revkit Link - Still building and expanding like everyone else...
3) Overlanding Experience Background: Novice - intermediate for the 2nd time. My wife and I just started back up camping and exploring again after a VERY long hiatus. From Tents to slide-in campers, then into a truck with a 5th wheel along with a boat. We were either camping, boating, or both every weekend during the spring/summer throughout the fall. Until we were severely hit by the dot-com crash and lost everything including the house and all our belonging. However, we survived and are doing very well and decided to start exploring once again.

Hey everyone! I’m new, joined a couple months ago. Own a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon JKU. Live in the San Diego/Temecula, Ca area, retired USMC. Started overlanding when Covid kicked off as a way to get outdoors and back to nature! As I post this, I just picked up my 22’ Jeep 392 XR…can’t wait to build it up and hit the trails!

Hello All
New to overlanding but have been backpacking/camping my whole life.
As my name suggests I live in NC and I am a Denver Bronco fan. And by the way my ride is a new 2021 Bronco
I am looking to meet more like minded people who like to do mini trips to trails and overland to places people normally don’t get to see

Hello overland people, I'm Sean. After decades of backpacking, I've begun to enjoy overloading and car camping. I'm in the 805 area if others are looking for someone to join on adventures. My T4R is more capable than I :). I'm excited to meet and learn from the kindness of others in this space. While I'm a newbie to off road travel, as a wilderness ranger, I'm a huge believer in leave-no-trace and wildness emergency medical preparedness.
kindly,
Sean

Hello Abigayle (@Abigaylef), welcome to the OB family. Happy to have you onboard. Like Corey (@Coreymol) said, your closest meetup would be the one in Round Rock: Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet. You'll want to keep an eye out on the meeting thread because we've been changing the location for the past few times.
