    New Overland Bound Emphasis (for me)

    I love the OB slogan "Adventure is necessary." For me, it is a mantra of sorts. I've had the highly modified vehicles and participated in my share of "overlanding" outings. Fun stuff. However, for me, it has always been more about getting into the outback and living the adventure than what...

    Lets Talk Cameras

    GoPro Hero 3+, GoPro Hero, and a Sony HDR CX675. The combination does all I want and need. But then, most of my outings are either hiking/trekking or excursions on my ATV.

    New Video: Crown King - The Back Way

    Very nicely done vid. I appreciate the thought, taping and editing that went into it.

    Event Cancelled - thanksgiving in the woods

    Too long of a trek for me from Idaho, but I love the idea and the setting ... almost Pilgrim style. Whoohoo.

    Air Lockers

    I ran ARB air lockers front and rear in my Jeep Cherokee and never had problems with air leakage, but the initial cost is very high. I think a preliminary question for anyone doing some sort of off-highway overlanding is: do I need lockers at all. For most of us, probably not unless you are...

    Happy as hell with OB

    Note...I feel like our map combine with the community will become the gold standard for locating trails and groups to run with soon enough. This is an extrovert wheelers paradise lol Bingo!

    Bit Off More Than I could Chew on Trey Mountain Rd.

    Nicely written account of your adventure. It isn't really adventure unless there is a little pucker factor to it. lol Thanks for sharing.

    Camping on the Mountains of Scotland with a Land Rover Defender

    Great stuff! Adventure awaits all over the world. It is forums like this that help us discover those other worlds and the people in them and whose heart beats longingly to the same rhythm as mine. It is a common language.

    Hooked on adventure!

    Yep, I spend all the time I can on the backroads and trails. Something is new over every hill, around every corner. Should I go right or left at this intersection? I hate to miss anything. "Adventure is necessary."

    Flatlanders Go West

    I'll waiting for the "more to come." Loved your intro photo. I have camped and explored a lot in Idaho (home state), Montana and Wyoming as well as some in Northern Nevada, Utah and Oregon.

    Wee Jim

    Oh yeah! Seeing your world is rich. Thanks. I ran across a poster the other day and the caption was "Bringing home your happy place." Photos and videos can do that.

    Shell Road, Wyoming

    Yeah, I agree that the map could have disappeared after a short time into the video. Now, tracking your route from time to time in the vid would have been cool, for sure. I'm just learning to do the GoPro camera thing and so I look at a lot of vids like yours to get ideas, learn technique, what...

    Shell Road, Wyoming

    According to your video report, it sure looks like a trail I'd like to do. Video was quite well done, however I got a little weary of the inset in the map look and the speed up mode the whole way. The fast motion almost made the vehicles look like RC models at first. I'm just offering my...

    Wee Jim

    Love it! I have a Chevy Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick) and it is a great little ride. Oh how I would like to spend some time in Scotland and particularly in the Highlands. Please post some photos or videos of that area when you can.

    Saw this Rig in Downtown London

    I guess we can all fantasize, but few of us will ever go to some exotic place. A simple rig, easy to maintain, that takes you where you want to go and gets you back is really all most of us need.

    Playing Cards or Board Games

    This is pretty much a ditto for us. Boggle is fun too. We play Yahtzee a lot and Hearts card game. Of course, Cribbage is a great game for two.

    Hello from Washington state; driving what I got.

    "Driving what I got." I like that line from your opening message to this forum. I think the line pretty well sums up the spirit of OB: you don't have to own/build/have the latest/bestest/ greatest rig to be an overlander. Looks to me like you are making it happen with what you have and having...
