My name is Nick, and I'm generally out exploring with my wife and two border collie pups. New to the trailer overland life, but I gotta say that I am loving it. Hoping to meet some fellow overlanders in the region now that we have made some changes that will allow us to leave home for as long as we want.

Looking forward to learning and contributing to the Overland Bound family!

Hey everyone! Just found this app and figured I would join up! My name's Dreux, I live in Coastal VA. Long time camper, newbie offroader! I just did my first "Overlanding" trip over New years weekend and loved it. My cousin and I checked out Peters Mill Run and stayed at the camp on the trail. I'm running a stock 17 Tacoma with a bedrack setup and newly acquired RTT! Currently planning some more weekend get aways, and am excited to meet like minded people!

Hey Dreux, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello everyone,

I'm Michael, 54 from Emmerich, Germany near the Dutch border. My Toyota GRJ78 got his first home in December 2021 and makes me absolutely happy! I oded the bushtaxi because of the offroad and outdoor assortiment, folding Camper and teardrops we sell! Joyce and Jeroen from the Netherlands and me information about the community and invited me to join. So here I am! Hope to see you guys in Europe!

Hi there. Christoph from Vista, Ca here. Originally from Germany, but in the US since 1998.



The picture is a bit outdated (suspension upgrade and tires/wheels) , but I am sure I will have more opportunities to share the upgrades. I am sure it will give you an idea of what I am doing. lol

2) Location: Vista, Ca (just 45 minutes north of San Diego)

3) Rig: 2022 Ford F250 Tremor 7.3 L Godzilla engine

4) Overlanding Experience Background: Not much. Watched a few videos (well, make that a lot of videos). Drove a tank professionally in the army (1988/1989) and there was a lot of off-roading involved. Been on a couple of offroad day trips in the last 6-8 months, but that is it. A lot to learn.

Last year was a bit crazy for me, but I ended up buying a 2022 Ford F250 Super Duty Tremor in August. I am turning this into an expedition vehicle for long-term, full-time travel. My goal is to travel offroad as much as possible and take this monster all across the US, Canada, Middle and South America, New Zealand, Australia, and who knows where else. I have an offroad capable slide-in camper on order. I am able to work remotely 100%.

This year my son will finish high school and head off to college. Since it is only the dog and me, why should I be stationary?! Planning to start traveling the US and Canada for the first 2 years and then work my way from Alaska all the way down to the bottom of Argentina.

The Rig: I upgraded the truck with an air compressor, offroad lights, Winch, Carli Pintop Suspension lift, and replaced the 35s tires with 37s. Still quite a few upgrades planned. The camper will be ready in August or so. It is an off-road capable camper (Supertramp campers).

Until the camper comes, I am trying to go off-roading more to learn the lay of the land (off-roading) so to speak. I am concerned about my 9 year-old Yellow Lab dog (Shelby) and how she will handle the change. Been training her to be more in the truck. Been taking her to the local parks so that she starts associating driving with cool stuff. She is very skittish, so I am hoping she gets used to it.

Anyway, now you know most of who I am. Looking forward to meet and connect others out on the trails or even locally. Thanks for having me here.
