[freak4life]

Hello from North Central Oklahoma. I currently have a 2017 Subaru Forester. I've been overlanding long before I heard the term overlanding. Most trips involve fly fishing. My rig is constantly evolving...

Hello Olen, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey everyone,

I've been here for a while but never got around to posting. I'm based out of the Chicago area and drive a 2018 Outback with a few upgrades to make it more capable and reliable.

I want to consider myself a beginner but I know that isn't accurate. So maybe cautiously moderate. Cautious because I wheel it like I need it to get to work on Monday.

By the groups definition of Overlanding, I've been involved since the early 80's tagging along with my dad on regular multiple country drives in his van. I started going on adventures myself with an XJ Cherokee in the late 90's.

Most recent we drove the 7 Hour Plane Crash Trail as part of the Fl4tFest Overland Adventure.

Hello there -

I'm a new member but a long time YouTube viewer.


Pic - attached
Location - Fort Worth., TX
Rig - 2010 Ford Raptor
Experience - can be subjective, but I've roamed and done some stuff here and there :) fully self contained except for a shower system (yet).

I've built the rig solo and very pleased so far. Not many Raptors in the overland community but starting to see some pop up recently. I'm representing the Gen 1's.

Pic of this weekends trip (not the best iPhone camera)

Hello All,

I just stumbled on this board and want and would like to pursue overlanding further. I’ve always been fascinated with nature and would just love to get out there more. Below is the required info:

1)pictureView attachment 245767


2) Location (ventura county, ca)
3) 2018 GMC Canyon Denali (2.8 DuraMax) 4x4
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Novice, but did lots of camping/overlanding while in the USMC and now National Guard in Humvees.

My rig is bone stock, but slowly but surely, I’d like to turn it into a beast. I would appreciate any info and suggestions you guys can offer.

Thanks!
-Jay

Greetings Jay, welcome to Overland Bound!
