Hi Everyone! My name is Rob Reukauf. My wife Dawn and I have spent many years outdoors. First it was riding quads at Dumont Dunes, Dune buggies in Big Bear, Hummers in Texas, and Bronco’s in Arkansas. Currently we have a 1971 Bronco and a Chevy ZR2 that we use for overlanding and off-roading. Most of the time we tow the Bronco with our 1994 Airstream Motorhome to venues for camping. I look forward to exploring with you all!View attachment 163661View attachment 163658View attachment 163659

Hello All!

Location: Phoenix, AZ
Current Vehicle: 2020 Chevy Trail Boss
Previous Vehicle: 2018 Toyota Tacoma
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: I'm happiest outside. I grew up camping and spent a good bit of time in the dirt. Now I work a corporate job and it seems like this is the kind of adventure I need.

Hi everybody!

My name's Ryan, I'm a New Zealander based in Montreal. I've done a ton of travelling and backpacking and am no stranger to the outdoors, but I'm brand new to overlanding. No real rig to speak of, just a Hyundai Tucson with no rack haha... for now. Looking forward to learning from everyones' experiences, it seems like an awesome activity and way of life.

See you all around!

Trail maps are available from the forest service in every state for free. You can also buy a yearly park pass cheaply and get reduced rates. No fees for disbursed sites. They show all camp sites both civilized and disbursed locations.

Hey OB Gang,

Ethan from Southern Missouri.

New to overlanding & off-roading but I’ve been an avid hiker & camper for many years so the outdoors aren’t a stranger to me.

Decided to go off the deep-end a few months ago and sold my 2010 JK for a 2019 Ford Ranger 4x4.

Looking forward to learning from you all and of course seeing you out on the trial!
