Hi I'm Scott,

I have an old 2011 Wrangler absolutely stock other than headers. I also have an old 2002 Holden Monterey (Isuzu Trooper) which has seven seats. My wife and I collect kids and we love exploring the roads less traveled with our kids. We spend most of our off road time in the Mokau area where our favourite obscure hotel is The Awakino Hotel. They do fantastic food and always make sure the fire is lit for a great kid, dog friendly dining after a day off roading.
My aim is to record all the roads we love so more people can enjoy it.
Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Welcome Erin, from Caldwell, ID! I hope you're prepared to fall down the rabbit hole!

It's OK if you do. Well winch you back up!

Hello! My name is Cameron!
I'm new to this and got into it on some hiking trips and of course YouTube.

Location: In the Eastern Mississippi Area (anyone around that has experience i'd love to learn!)
Rig: 2021 Ram Rebel
Experience: Just camping a few times, but I'm here to absorb as much information as I can!

Looking forward to getting to know some of you and learning as much as I can to help get my family out of the concrete jungle and out into some beautiful scenery!

Hey all, new to the site and overlanding in general. Grew up in the Boy Scouts and I miss the heck out of the outdoors. I'm disabled (two bum knees) so it makes things a bit more difficult but I'm working on figuring out how to do all this to the best of my capability. I'm in "The Wilds of Pennsylvania" between State College and WIlliamsport. I have an '09 Xterra that is pretty much stock. I'm working on building out a bed and some storage in the back as well as a place for my old pup to come with me. Other than that I figured I would go stock and see what I need as I go to make things a bit better. I've been into Jeeps most of my life so the Xterra is a bit different for me. I've never done any "hardcore" offroading but I've definitely traveled my share of fire and logging roads exploring what I can in PA by myself without getting into too much trouble.

Anyway, that's basically me hope to get out there with some of you soon!
