trip planning

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the places we overland/offroad to, especially in regards to the people and events that came before. Everything from the geologic process to wildlife to human civilization. Here in Arizona we have a good amount of public land that seems to have all of the...

Is there a formula to find the proper tire pressure for aftermarket tires? Over the years, I've been given different advice. For example, I owned a '95 Chevy with 35-inch Mud Terrains years ago. One tire shop advised me to maintain the factory pressure listed on the door, even with aftermarket...

Interested in how folks approach trip planning (and making a poll) ;) Comments welcome!

Hi everyone. Greetings from Florida! So, me and the wife will be going to visit our son in Fort Carson this June and figured we'd make a trip out of it and spend a week checking out what Utah has to offer. We got 7 days to do some exploring and have just started some planning. I was thinking...

We have some members in Europe who are also active and do some trips and other overlanding related activities. This year we have already done quite a bit together in smaller groups and it would be nice if there were more joint activities. Believe me, it is not difficult at all to plan and carry...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking into doing a solo trip thru last chance canyon and a stop at Burro Schmidt's Tunnel. I'm getting conflicting info from the Interweb. (Can you believe it??) Some people are saying don't even try it without 3 inch lift, 35 inch tires, skid plates, etc.. other's say they...

Hello all, I am currently planning a trip from North Carolina out west to Arizona, Utah and then on over to Colorado. I am planning to hit some pretty scenic and well known trails like Black Bear Pass, Eng Pass etc. as well as others in AR and Ut. I am seeking any awesome camping places or...

Hello all, A few have been asking at the meet ups about an overland trip or other trips and planning one out. Here is a thread to do so.

As more and more newcomers have begun to enjoy Overlanding, I have begun to see the question arise more frequently on what first basic mod or equipment they should get. This is a difficult question to answer as the answer is heavily based on the type of Overlanding they wish to do and the type...

I am currently in the planning stages of an overland trip to New Mexico and Colorado next summer (2019). As of right now the only places that we are going to go to are Breckenridge, CO and Santa Rosa, NM. Other than that it is totally open. The closest I have been to the area we are going to is...

Hi all. My wife and I filmed a series of interviews with overlanders we met while traveling through Mexico and Central America and we just started releasing them on youtube. Our goal with this project is to answer some of the questions we received about how and why we went long term overlanding...

Lost and Found: File a trip report! - Tyler Tennies We as Overland Bound members love exploring. It’s a part of who we are, but what happens when we find ourselves with a broken vehicle, lost, or worse yet injured and alone? Exploring remote locations alone or in a small group can turn south...
