Hello All,

My names Shawn and I live outside of Tri Cities WA. Current rig is a 2015 Taco TRD Pro, wild top truck cap, solar, OME suspension. I am somewhere between a novice and a pro, I camp almost once a month but most of that is with my kids Scout troop so not much "overlanding" with them. I am also a member of Veteran Overland.



Welcome Shawn!

Check out our upcoming trips:

Hello all! My name is Dave and I’m a 52 year old brand new overlander. Rig is a 2010 Toyota 4Runner. I live in the Portland Oregon area. Looking forward to learning and connecting. Planning on doing the ORBDR in July.
Welcome Dave!

Were you able to check out the ORBDR?

I used to live in PDX and recently moved back out west to eastern WA.

The ORBDR is high on my list - what’d you think of it?

Hello and Nice to meet you!

I'm Greg, soon to be 23, I live in north Finland (Close to artic circle)
I've just learned the term "Overlanding" but I have done it with my family as child numerous times. Guess I'm just a little after Novice :)
I don't have a car but I plan on getting one relatively soon!
Me and my partner have a crazy plan we are dead set on doing in over 3 years - Finland to Japan by car! I came here seeking for information and the help of people who have much more experience than me :) I'm still not completely familiar with the platform but, would anyone know where I could post the details of the trip we have already planned? Unless here is fine of course...
Thank you for your help!
Welcome Greg!

What an amazing vision you have to travel from Finland to Japan. I spent a couple weeks in Japan many years ago and it remains one of the best trips I’ve ever taken.

How’s the trip planning going?
