Hello all,

I am new to overlanding, but have done a bit of camping. Getting a little old for the sleeping on the ground thing.
I am from the Ft Lauderdale Florida area, where there is not much of what most of you would consider 'overlanding.' However, I have friends in NW Montana and have visited many times. Love the NW. I currently do not have a rig, but plan on retiring in the next few months, and selling the bigger saltwater boat and F250 to help fund an exploring rig.

I will probably lurk a bit and follow the comments as I gain experience. Glad to be aboard.

Regards, Halffast

Welcome to Overland Bound Craig.
I retired a little over a year ago. Couldn't be happier.
OB has given me opportunities that I didn't know existed in assisting others and volunteer work.

Old backpacker who can't haul 80 lb packs across the miles anymore but still like to explore the back country. I drive a 3/4 ton off-road friendly truck capable of L3. I have 4-wheeled off and on for 40+ years, mostly solo, but would like to explore overlanding and joining kindred spirits.

Hey Everyone, my name is Ricardo and am just getting started. I am from Northern California in Pittsburg, CA. I just recently bought my 2020 Ford Ranger and am looking to take my family of 5 on some new adventures. I have yet to go on my first trip but hope to learn and prepare before going out. We are all very excited to get started and learn.

Hi Everybody, - My name is Abe!
I drive a 01 Lexus LX 470 with some modifications. I very rarely get a chance to go out wheeling but when we do, we go out with the whole family (3 children under 13!). I wish there were more public lands to explore in and near WI.
Here are a couple of pics from a recent trip to Silver Lake Dunes State Park in MI.
