Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Big G]

Hi I'm Nick,
I'm driving a 2020 Toyota Tacoma and currently, I live in Buford, GA (approx. 45mins NE of Atlanta). My Overlanding experience is none currently but I've become very interested it in recently. I proposed to my now fiancee last October up near Chatanooga at a cabin I rented it was a little off the beaten path. That's when I realized that I wanted to do stuff like this more often with her. So this year I bought a Tacoma so that's that. I'm looking forward to making the truck more capable and taking my fiancee on more trips into the mountains.

Hello Nicholas, welcome to the OB community. Congratulations on your engagement and I'm sure you and your fiancee will have a great time with your new rig.

Hey guys...long time listener, first-time caller. I've been watching MIke's youtube videos for a while now and figure It was time to join up. Now that we're sort of returning to something the resembles sanity I'd like to find some groups in the North East to hit the trail with! Figured this would be a good place to start

Hello Steve, welcome to the OB community.

Hi, I’m Caleb! I live in mostly in Fort Worth, Texas, but also spend a lot of time with my family in central Oregon (the Bend area). I’m fairly new to overlanding and everything that entails, but I’ve always loved camping, hiking, and anything else done in the great outdoors. Also love photographing it!

My current rig that I’m working on is a 2019 RAV4 Adventure. So far I love it!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Here’s some current pics of my car:

Welcome to OB! Nice looking Rav4! Was in Bend last weekend and got to see a crazy thunder and lightening storm roll through.

Hey yall, my name is Brian. I just moved to Raleigh/Durham, NC from East Tennessee for work. I am an aircraft mechanic. I drive a 1969 Jeepster Commando and have slowly been updating the drivetrain and drivability. I love the outdoors and have already camped, and panned for gold in Uwharrie National Forest. Most of my adventures have been in the smokies from Elizabethton, TN to Maryville,TN. I love the coast and am planning to go out there here in the next couple weeks. Anyways, thank you for having me and look forward to getting to know you. B

I just want to apologize now for all the drool I got on that commando. I do not think I have seen one of those since I was in grade school.

Hello my name is David. After years of hiking and backpacking w/ the Scouts, I am exploring the Overlanding community in an attempt to find a common activity with my wife who does none of these 'outdoorsy' things. Perhaps riding in a vehicle to a site that supports a tent that you can actually stand up in (her requirements) will become our shared 'adventure place'. Time will tell.
