Hey everyone, new guy from the Central Valley California USA.

I’m new to overlanding, previous to this I tent camped or popup trailer camped at a single location for up to a week in the SoCal desert.

My current vehicle is a 2019 GMC Yukon Denali, I have swapped the factory 22” wheels and low profile Z rated tires for 18” wheels wrapped in 32” AT M/S tires, a Yakima EXO hitch cargo system, Yakima crossbars, and I have a FSR Evolution V2L RTT on order.

I have a full-size SUV because I have a family of seven and the Yukon is also my daily driver. In the mid future I plan on buying a travel trailer for full family adventures but for now it’ll just be me overlanding and possibly one or two others.

My buddies and I use CB radio for desert communication but I’m looking into GMRS, and have a call sign of WRWV937. HAM also looks interesting but seems daunting with everything you have to know.

I’m looking forward to meeting and learning. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am Ulises, currently live in Utah. Got a 3rd gen ToyotaTacoma OR (stock). I am a novice in this field, but definitely nature and being outdoors has always been a big part of my life.

Glad to be here and learn a lot from everyone!

Welcome to Overland Bound Tom
Can you add a city or town to your profile, it will help the app and members get you local information. (Central Valley is a big area)
As for ham yes it seems daunting but in reality it is very easy. The best way to proceed is to get one of the many on line apps and just keep taking the test, the questions will come naturally once you take the test several times. Depending on your location there are several testing locations.
A great local contacts are @TOMB & @Motomikeca
