    George Washington and Monongahela NF in a ZR2 and Grand Cherokee

    Good day friends! Wanted to share a short story covering my latest trip out to GWNF and the Mon with my Colorado ZR2 and my buddy in his Grand Cherokee! If you fancy narrative content as much as video content, feel free to stop by and give it a read...

    Did Top Gear/Grand Tour Inspire a Generation of Overlanders?

    I just watched the final grand tour special, where James May, Jeremy, Clarkson, and Richard Hammond embark on a gorgeous trek through Zimbabwe. And it occurs to me, that for me at least, these specials they’ve done across the globe…taking unlikely cars on adventures, modifying them for the task...

    ZR2 Completed Allegheny Discovery Route (Pics and Details)

    Just wanted to share that a group of friends and I completed a modified version of the Allegheny Discovery Trail earlier this month. We camped at some primitive spots large enough for three rigs and two ground tents, did my first water crossing, and covered Canyon Rim Road and Canaan Valley...

    Southern MD Meetup Interest

    As the title says, looking to see if there’s any interest in a meetup for members in the Southern Maryland area. There was a thread last year asking about MD in general and I thought the topic of a meetup was both well timed and deserving of its own thread. And the member map shows some members...

    Safety Considerations for Cooking on your Rig

    Hey fam! As I start to get some trips under my belt, and my blueprint for the rig takes shape, I wanted to stop and ask what safety considerations I need to take when building a cooking/kitchen system on my rig. I see a lot of set ups with stoves built into a drawer, or just on the tailgate of a...

    What do fridge owners do in bear country?

    I’ve seen related discussions, but no direct answers. For folks with bed drawer kitchens and fridge setups built into the trucks, what do you do to prevent theft (by both humans and critters) of your food at camp? I currently have a bear-resistant cooler that I store in the cab of my truck, but...

    Claiming Dispersed Campsites

    Alright y’all. I’m generally new to Overlanding, and up to this point, I’ve mostly camped at reserved campsites at national and state forests. I’d like to try some of the primitive campsites along some of the more remote trails, as that obviously opens up a whole lot of opportunities for trails...

    Overlanding in a Full-Size Truck - Comfortable family rig or doomed like the Titanic?

    Relatively new to adventure travel, but I love it and can’t wait to share it with my kids when they’re older. But I occasionally worry that when that time comes, things will get a bit cramped in the back of my Crew Cab mid-size Colorado. Especially with car seats. With full-sized trucks getting...

    My experience with Overlanding vs Off-Roading: Is the barrier to entry for Overlanding LOWER?

    I just finished up a trip to a Labor Day weekend event at a nearby off-road park, and after some reflection, I've found that there is a significant difference between what a lot of folks mean when they say "off-roading" and "wheeling," and what I have found to enjoy and what I consider to be...

    Timberwolf - 2020 Colorado ZR2 Build | Progress Thread

    Howdy, ya'll! Joined OB about a year ago but have owned my ZR2 since 2020. I've since fallen in love with the notion of adventure travel, and experiencing the beauty outside from behind the wheel of this capable rig. But of course, like ALL aut enthusiasts, I have some...additions I'd like to...

    Labor Day Weekend Event | Chaos Off-Road Park, WV

    Good day, OB community! I just signed up for Chaos Off Road Park's Labor Day Event, and was wondering if anyone in this community was also registered, or would be interested in going? I'm traveling with a buddy from Southern MD, but would love to connect with any OB members that might be there!
