Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Magic Mike]

Hello. I’m Sean member # 20710, I joined back in October 2019 at Overland Expo East and finally have some time to introduce myself. I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Off Road. Nothing special about it yet but hopefully soon I can do some things to it. I’m from a small town in Wisconsin and really enjoy the Overlanding community especially Overland Expo. Hope I’m posting this in the right place lol. View attachment 147429

Welcome to Overland Bound

 

[Magic Mike]

Hi there!
Blake from Shawnee OK, active duty nurse currently stationed in Oceanside CA, so we are loving all the adventure opportunities out here (prior to COVID-19, that is). Primary rig is a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 with a rooftop tent on the way, but we'll take the kids out in our 2013 Subaru Outback sometimes if it's an easy excursion. Offroading, camping, and hiking are our favorite activities, and we've been getting into kayaking recently. Overlanding experience is moderate, but no long/extended trips under my belt yet. Excited to be part of the community!

Hi everyone. Signed up a while ago, but never posted. Probably because I'm always nervous about if I'm actually going to belong in a group because I have something definitely different than the vast majority of yall.
This is a 2014 Scion xB. If anyone is from Australia, you may recognize this as the Toyota Rukus. Fairly small and only 2WD. This pic is before I lifted it.
I'm in Nebraska, so have to travel a lot for most of my adventures. It's typically just around the middle states so far.
If you go by the definition in the first post of this thread as overlanding being "vehicle dependent travel", I've been doing it off an on with mostly small 2WDs. Usually build out the hatch area to camp in.

Will J. here in Houston, Texas. I've been offroading my whole life and just learned about the whole overland community. Looking to get started on a few trips next year to spend some father time with my boys. I just switched up vehicles from a superduty to a gladiator. Let the build begin.

Hey Community!
Call me Bill...
Great to be here, I run a '07 Jeep Liberty out of Calgary, Alberta Canada...Always looking to explore and learn new things. Mostly I am interested in getting off the tarmac and getting to a view well worth the climb, ideally with some challenging terrain and finishing the day with a little camping. I'm not much for off road parks more than a couple times, mostly as it saddens me for our sport/activity to see much litter about ... that being said I don't often turn down an invite to one, and it feels good to haul some garbage out in the Trasharoo lol!
Couple things about me:
- My nationality is Australian, I moved to Canada in 2013 and am working on Citizenship.
- I love Hockey and am a mad SJ Sharks Fan
- I love snowboarding in Winter, camping and overland in Summer and when it's too cold to camp but too warm to ride; I like playing Witcher 3, Fallout 4, and binge-watching netflix.
- For crust; I am a proud Southwire Canada Leader

Hi from middle Tennessee, have enjoyed watching overland bound on YouTube and finally decided to get a membership. Just need to get it activated lol. My wife passed away a little over a year ago so I have 2 awesome children that enjoy getting out and exploring in one of the vehicles. Right now most of our trips are day trips however we are looking at getting out for longer periods. We have a 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited black bear edition and a 2012 Nissan pathfinder.

Hi Everybody!

Location: Fort Collins, CO
Rig: 1990 Isuzu Trooper
Experience: I’m definitely a beginner, however, most definitely a wandering traveler. I work for the Forest Service during the summer months and travel to new unexplored (for my part that is) places, people and things. My end state is to eventually do the Pan American Highway, but know I have a lot to learn about my vehicle and overlanding before I embark on that journey. Here to learn, but more importantly to adventure with my rig and people who share that same zest for life.
