Hello, I'm Justin and I'm from the Houston, Texas area.

I just bought a 2019 RAM Power Wagon and am looking forward to getting into overlanding. I have been following the YouTube channel for a little over a year now.

I have virtually 0 experience in overlanding, been camping a few times, but grew up hunting annually in West Texas.

Hey everybody,

My name is Kyle
2. Live in Hermiston Oregon
3. Our overland rig is the family trukster/my wife’s daily driver. A 2010 Chevy suburban 1500 with a 4in BDS lift 18in fake bead lock pro comp wheels and 305/60/18 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ p3 (hybrid) tires. The roof top tent is a new addition
4. I don’t have any real overlanding experience. I’ve always been a “just get out there and wing it” kind of guy that is now realizing with an almost two year old, and another on the way, some pre planning is a good idea. I’m confident behind the wheel (bit of a dirt road hooligan as a kid) and super excited to improve my skills and learn from everybody here.

Very nice set up you have there. It looks great and should serve you well.

Hi, I’m J. Michael

Location: Wenatchee, WA
Rig: 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax
Experience: New to overlanding but not the outdoors. Been wheeling with my dad since I was 5. Ski, mountain bike, hike and love most anything outside and far away from a cell phone signal. Been getting my rig ready this summer. Have a Roof Nest Eagle RTT, an ARB awning and refer and a cooktop. Minimalist setup to start. But looking forward to getting on the road next week!

Hi,

Thanks for this information :)

Hello All,

Loved the dirt road better than the paved one my whole life. Owned P.U. Trucks, Jeeps, Land Rovers and most recently a new Winnebago REVEL, Sprinter MB Chassis, 4 wheel drive w/low range.

Thanks

Welcome to Overland Bound, @Electo. As a dirt road lover, you are among your kind here. The Spokane area has a number of active members and there are great things occurring thanks to @Sandpoint Steve and @Captain Chaos. Check out the upcoming BBQ on August 18th [link], it might be a great chance to get to know the crew. The truth of the matter is that there are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.

I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hiya Kyle (@K. Rut) and welcome to Overland Bound. This is a great source of information on all things overland. I am sure you will find lots of great information and friendships. I highly recommend checking out the NorthWest Region forums [link] to get a better feel for who is in the neighborhood. There are a number of members up in the Richland area, some over in Walla Walla, and in Milton-Freewater too. As events are planned, they are added to the Rally Point System [link], so I recommend keeping an eye on that as well.

I hope to meet you someday soon. Until then, please feel free to message me on the forums @Jedi!

Hi J. Michael (@DNB), welcome to the Overland Bound family! There is nothing wrong with being minimalist... I have had many adventures in my Jeep that were as simple as a couple MRE and sleeping in the back of the JKU. The important thing isn't what gadgets you have, but what adventures you experience. You are in a great place for that, since you are just off of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) and just down river from your member rep, @4wheelspulling. Do you mind sharing where you are heading to next week?

Anyway, I recommend checking into our NorthWest Region forums [link] where we can chatter more and you can get to know the members in your area as well as start planning some more adventures. You can also check out the events occurring in the region by visiting the Rally Point System [link].

If you need anything, don't hesitate to send me a message via the forums @Jedi.
