New to Overlanding, somewhat new to Colorado

[Charles Drives Things]

Hello Everyone,

I am just getting in to Overlanding after watching hours and hours of YouTube videos and following people on Instagram. Lifestyle Overland has really helped get my wife and son on board, so thank you especially! I love the outdoors and camp, hunt and fish as often as possible. I have never "overlanded" though but it looks amazing. I have very minimal gear (I'll just use what I have for camping) and very little knowledge of overlanding, but can't wait to get out there!

Right now, we've got a stock 2017 JKU Sahara that is more capable than I am at this point so will work just fine while learn.

I can't wait to meet some of you and to learn from you.

See you out there!

Charles

Welcome from another Colorado Member.
Minimal Gear can be overcome. Check out Rental Camping Equipment | Rent Tent | Backpacking Equipment, Home Page | Wilderness Exchange, Denver Colorado, or New & Used Sporting Goods | Fitness & Workout Equipment | Play it Again Sports | Play It Again Sports (locations near you in Castle Rock Aurora, and Lakewood) all offer great deals on equipment. Outdoors geek even offers rentals providing an extended try before you buy option.

Beyond that lots of folks down on the Front range with Jeeps who can recommend good places. As a Toyota driver I find that 4wheel Parts is very Jeep-centric so might be a good spot to start looking.

Keep an eye on the Rally Point there is one set up for the Front Range at the end of the month. (I tried to get you a pointer but the Devs are working on Rally Point functions lately and the events page goes to error.) the events page is located at Events Archive - Overland Bound

See ya on the trails...

@Boort
Thank you for the helpful links! I'm going through the checklist provided on the site, and I have a majority of the items so I've got a good start. I would love to make my first Rally Point but won't be able to go to this one, unfortunately. I will keep an eye out though!

Welcome, I'm down in Colorado Springs. Plenty of good Jeeping to be had here.
