Hi everyone! Super new to this site and definitely overwhelmed.
Just wanted to get in a group like this to learn or get some wisdom on dos and donts.
I just recently EASd out of the USMC And wanted to take some time to travel. I’ve always been an outdoor guy but I would say novice in most of it and especially in the overlanding world. Had some questions and worries I wanted some help with! Thank you!

Just worried about crappy MPG and how to deal with that. I want more add ons but stressing about that.
things I need. And how to find the badass beautiful locations to camp and explore!

First off, I get 6 mpg and have a 33gal tank. If I can do it you can to… you just need to plan fuel stops accordingly and carry extra fuel.

Gear… don’t over stress it. A stock rig will go a lot of places… the only upgrades I have done to my wife’s car was bumpers… and they were more for looks than performance. My bronco is mostly stock as well.

Hi all! New Member here. Novice to overlanding, but looking to learn more as I make some initial mods to my Tacoma.

I also have a brand new never been used Overland Vehicles Nomadic 4 RoofTop tent that's just a bit too big for my needs.

Looking to sell and get something smaller for me and the wife. If anyone is interested please let me know.
