Hello ~ I'm Martyn, and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I have a 2008, Toyota, 4Runner that I recently starting using for more than just a daily driver. I plan on going on more trips, adventures, offroading and overlanding. Nothing too crazy, as it is my daily and i need to use it for work as well.
In the last year or so, I've occasionally been going out with a few new and more knowledgeable enthusiasts, that I've met along my journey.

Welcome Martyn. I guess we are practically OB twins since we joined around the same time! :) Nice to meet you man.

Hello everyone,

As of a few weeks ago we live in TorC, NM. My better half and I began overlanding about 4 years ago but really kicked it into overdrive when the pandemic started. Most of our time has been spent exploring Colorado and Wyoming but have made several 2-3 week trips in the past two years (CO to CA, CO to FL, and a two week WY summer vacation). We have plans to head to the PNW for at least a month at the end of July and Baja some time in the fall. I now work remotely (thank you COVID) so we hope to overland a lot more from here on out (thank you Starlink). We look forward to meeting other members and getting a chance to tag along on some of your planned expeditions.

Cheers,
Dennis G.

Hello Dennis, welcome to Overland Bound.
Thank you for your service, it is deeply appreciated.
Thanks man! It was the single best decision of a young punk with no desire to go to college from the Bronx like me could have made.

Hi,
New to the group and overlanding. My experience is with adventure motorcycling (BMW R 1200 GSA) but my son always asks, “papa, why do you always want to go on those trips and leave me at home?”

So this is his answer! Since I can’t bring him on the bike, I’m setting up a Gladiator for new family adventures!

Dont get me wrong, the bike will still get it’s attention!

First adventure is a short drive from Nantucket, MA to Alaska. One month living in the jeep and learning lots!

Rig - in progress phase 1. 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

Location - Nantucket Island

Experience adventuring in a Jeep - Newbie, but experienced on a bike.

Hey there fellow Overlanders!

I can't really call myself an overlander yet... However, we just ordered our RTT and bed rack a few days ago and my wife and I are beyond excited. I am in the process of setting up my 3.5L turbo V6 F150 for overlanding and I am looking forward to perusing the forums and getting all the advice I can get from experienced campers. We live in the PNW but want to travel all across the country.

Hope to see you all out there

Hello everyone

I'm new to overlanding/off-roading activities but not to the outdoor. I love fishing, hiking and camping. Recently purchase a Bronco Sport Badlands and started make some modification so I can enjoy some overlanding.
I joined the forum to get some inside on the community and the dos and don'ts. Looking forward to interact with some of you and maybe in the near future share trip. Thank you
Greetings Jose, welcome to Overland Bound!
