    We've decided to meet at the top of the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail, and work our way south following the overland route. The meeting spot on Friday evening is Herbster Campground in Herbster WI, and the "location" for this Facebook event is the Google Maps link. Tent camping here is...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    Hey OB friends, I just wanted to start an official thread about my upcoming trip on the Trans America Trail (route from east coast to west coast all off-road) so that it is easier to coordinate with other OB members in case they want to join in. The goal here is to create an official overland...

    Jeep won't fit in the Garage anymore.

    Within the next couple of weeks I'll be installing a 4.5 inch lift, 35" tires, and a roof rack and the Jeep barely fits in the garage as is, so I'll be losing that shelter to work on the rig. I rent but have a huge back yard, and I'm thinking about getting a large "gazebo" type garage with side...

    Right of way?

    While on the Daniel Boone Backcountry Bypass in Kentucky, we yielded to a few oncoming vehicles and realized we didn't have a definitive answer as to who has the right of way in these situations. One of the other guys in our group said that the convoy with the most people gets the right of way...

    Keeping gear warm in sub zero camping?

    So, we went cold camping (-6 degrees Fahrenheit) up in Wisconsin two weekends ago and ran into a problem that we weren't exactly prepared for. All of our liquids froze (water, other drinks, canned soups, etc) which makes perfect sense in hindsight, but I wasn't prepared to deal with a 6 gallon...

    "Trails" in Illinois?

    Other than Shawnee National Forest and a couple of offroad parks, does anyone know of any trails in IL? Just moved here a couple of months ago, and have exhausted my search options trying to find information about where I can drive on dirt that's not private property. It would be awesome to get...

    Late Night Campground Arrival

    We've all been there. Got a little lost on the trail, work kept you just long enough to get a late start to your destination, or it took you a few extra minutes (hours) to find that super remote waterfront dispersed camping spot. You roll in and there's already some people set up. What's the...

    10,000 OB Members Approaching?

    I keep noticing that the "latest member to join forums" number has been consistently in the 9000s for the past few days, and that OB membership seems to be growing exponentially. I'm #8207 and I joined on September 19th, so that is some SERIOUS growth. I think it's only a matter of days before...

    Aftermarket Bumper Costs: Front vs Rear $$$

    I'm in the market for an aftermarket rear bumper because I will eventually add a rooftop rack to my JK and most won't work with the OEM bumper when wanting to mount to the frame instead of the body. I already added a full-width steel bumper to the front which was for the recovery points and...

    Canceled HBO and became an OB Benefactor

    So, I just decided to cancel my monthly HBO subscription to become a monthly supporter of Overland Bound. Since purchasing my dream vehicle (Jeep JKU) a few months ago and stumbling upon the overlanding community, I've felt more motivated than I have in years. Work has a new purpose (providing...

    Warm white lighting solutions?

    So, ever since working in a cubicle all through my 20's and dealing with constant headaches from fluorescent lighting, I've developed an aversion for "cool" white LED lighting. I also believe that cool white light does not increase visibility as well as warm white, and because of that I have yet...
