Welcome to OBO.

 

[Dvibs]

Good morning! My name is Taylor and I’m currently living in the PNW. I’m 29 years old and work in the petroleum industry. I’m an avid camper who’s currently waiting on a 2023 Colorado trail boss to start getting into more remote areas to camp. I hope to learn a lot about navigation, gear, and want to meet people up here to plan trips with!

Taylor, Welcome to Overland Bound, we are a a bit north of you just past Seattle. Congratulations on your new rig, looking forward to seeing some photos after you get it, and as you kit it out. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions as you dig through the website or app. Keep an eye on the Calendar and Rally Point tabs for events if you looking to meet up with other folks. There are a couple of good events coming up where you can meet all kinds of other overlanding types, look at rigs and have the opportunity to take some classes and look at way to much gear that is available for sale . .lol The Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, WA (Near Leavenworth) June 15 through 18th (event published on Rally Point) and the much larger PNW Overland Expo in Redmond (Bend) OR July 7th thru the 9th, both with day or weekend passes and camping.

Thank you so much! I will be at the PNW Overland Expo in Redmond!

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, but have been watching the YT for years. I'm always looking for ways to make over landing more efficient so I can enjoy my time out in nature more and worry about my gear less. I've been lurking for a while and ya'll seem to be a decent group of people.

About me:
I enjoy helping friends I meet on the trail, but I'm not a people person ... yeah, I know, contradiction. Think of it as your favorite introverted MacGyver who would give you the shirt off their back if it meant saving your life lunch ... or something.

I travel with my family and sometimes the tactical puppy. We are always up for planning a new vacation adventure. No, we haven't found a way to stick to the plans either; I think it requires hexes and spells I haven't yet garnered in my years on this rock hurling through space. If you have any tips/tricks/hexes/spells/ai controlled terminators to help with your plans please let me know

The vehicle we currently adventure travel in is a Land Cruiser 200. We have made upgrades, I need to do more, I could probably do without some I've done. I'll find ways to share and hopefully help someone with the things I've done. I won't bore you with the things everyone has already documented 10,000 times at every corner of the internet ... I just have to actually do that interesting "nevah been done befoa" thing ...


Current Mission:
Find a way to fit my AED in a convenient place that doesn't take up "prime" real estate while still being readily available. I'm finding that I'm apparently the only crazy person whom wants to shock someone with 200 joules of electricity in the back country. I hope it's not any of you ... or me ... or anyone in my family, or anyone I know. Hell, I hope it sits in my truck and never gets used; but if/when it's needed, I hope I'm there.

Hi Barry. Welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[Bad Sport]

Hi there Overlanders!

My name is Robert and I am a pretty novice overlander. I've done Australia, Balkans, Baltics and Ukraine till now. This in a Suzuki Grand Vitara and Prado 120. Now for the coming 2-3 years I'll be living and overlanding in Mongolia.

I'll be starting from scratch. I just bought a Land Cruiser 200 V6 (2008). Which is kind of stock. That is, it now has a 140 Liter petrol Tank and a 6th wheel rack. With 125k kilometers on the clock it's still young. It was mainly used in the city.

The plan:
Roofrack with tent
Old Man Emu BP51 Shocks
Drawers
Power supply
AT tires, maybe some Mud ones too.

I hope Overland Bound can be of help, though currently it looks like it's aimed at US only and no metric system. Lack of a metric system will be annoying, especially if i add sights to the App as signs will be in metric.

Helping to build the App in Mongolia will be a goal of that is somehow possible. But i haven't gone that deep in the App yet.

Anyways, hope to see you on the forum soon, or maybe even on the road?! Plenty of events i noticed.

Nice to meet you,
Robert
