Hello John, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello John, welcome to Overland Bound.

Thanks very much. Brand new and learning the ropes here. Looks like I forgot to mention a few things, so:
1) Meet Max:
2) Located in Fort Collins, Colorado
3) 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, purchased brand new in April this year.
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Been roaming the Rocky Mountain West for 40+ years in various vehicles from Subaru's to Pick Up's with camper shells and my favorite, the Wildernest. Before I heard the term Overlanding we thought of it as car camping+. Have traveled much of the Rocky Mountain West from NW Wyoming down through Colorado (home), New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. Also the Pacific Northwest, mainly Washington. Heading out in a month for a 2 week trip back to the PacNW, then down the coast through Oregon, Northern California, then back across through Yosemite and Nevada, with hopefully a stop in Great Basin to check out the Bristlecones. I am a 3D animator and photographer and love to wander. Have big plans for my Wrangler but am taking it slow, intentionally dialing him in for how I wish to travel: as light as nimble as possible. Have enjoyed learning all the new tech/techniques that have developed in recent years. So much new to learn... really excited to connect with such an active and like-minded community.

Hi,

My wife, son, and dog love the outdoors. We live in Colorado and while we are experienced tent campers, we wanted to get into overlanding to be able to access more areas to hike and explore. I have a 2009 Honda Ridgeline (standard) and a 2021 High Altitude Trailers XT-50. Charles at Earthship Overland in Denver recommended this site to us. Very new to this, so open to feedback, recommendations, etc.

Thanks!

-Bobby

Hi everyone! Long time outdoorsman just getting into this exciting world of overlanding. I’m mainly getting into this so I can escape the monotony of city life in Los Angeles and enjoy some peace in the wilderness with my two kids with relative ease compared to the backpacking I’m used to.

I look forward to meet you all in the future!

I currently run a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado z71.

Hi everyone. Complete novice at overlanding, but I have done a lot of high altitude climbing and spent months at a time in a tent. Had kids, left all that behind (wife didn't like the risk associated to it) but am keen to get back into the outdoors, albeit without the risk. Tried camping in a tent a few weeks ago, I'm too old to be on the ground so it looks like truck camping is where I am heading - probably ease into it with over night trips, weekend trip and eventually extend it out to week long and longer trips (or permanently? when I retire?) and Ive had a chance to iron out the kinks in my setup.

First stop - time to buy a truck.

(located in Atlanta, but 50% of my time is in the bay area).

Hey vogts,

Guess I should do one of them thar intro messages. I was originally debating on just joining the forums until I get a little further along my plans or just go all in, took the latter.

Jason, currently based in Memphis, TN with a shiny new WK2 that I'm aiming to equip as something of a light stealth overland vehicle. Yeah, I know, sounds strange. For the Cliff's Notes version, this is a daily driver vehicle, along for some highway trips and the like, so first priority was comfort (hence the WK2 over a JL). The stealth part comes in as my goal is to equip is such that it still looks pretty stock (Chief front guard for example, and working on some ideas for an easy to remove drawer system) so that it looks like your average mall crawler but has what it needs underneath. :)

The last time I did anything resembling camping was the proverbial pull campground pull the car up and pitch a tent stuff. My goal is by early next year to be doing some at least dispersed camping, with an ultimate goal of doing some overlanding out west. That may be a bit further, but I'm starting to look for ideas now. So... here I am.

That said, also hoping to find some semi local folks to help with education along the way.

Welcome, Jason, from Arizona!

Hello all. Just looking to see what’s up with folks in the overlanding arena. I have a 2020Tacoma OR Access Cab that I am setting up for overlanding. I am really intrigued with the latest designs of pullout camp kitchens.

Hello everyone! New to Overlanding. I've camped in the past, fished and bird hunted. My wife and I love the outdoors and want to learn more. We are retired, live in North East Tarrant County, just outside Ft Worth, TX. I have a 2005 Chevy Avalanche Z71 that has never failed me! Very interested to learn what if any upgrades would be necessary for what we are looking to do.

Welcome from Arizona!

Hi all!

My name’s Clay. Upon buying a half-capable vehicle I’ve decided it’s time to begin after being a long time follower, but driving FWD wagons..

I’ve got a new Subaru Outback XT that’s just begging to go have fun. Nothing insane. AWD just can’t hang. But she’s my daily. The goal is to maximize drivability and overland potential to the best of my ability. She won’t keep up with a Tundra, but probably be more pleasant to take to work.

Anyhow, I’m out in Reno, NV, just getting started, and damn excited!

Welcome from Arizona!

Hello everyone! Been debating joining Overland Bound and finally pulled the trigger. I’ve been off-roading my entire life and recently moved to Steamboat Springs CO. I’m looking forward to meeting some of you all out on the trail! View attachment 205708

Welcome from Arizona!

Name is Jason, and just got my F150 a little over a week ago. Can't wait to get out there, explore. We typically do Broken Bow, OK; Grand Lake, CO; and other locations.

I have zero experience in overlanding, or four wheeling in general.

Welcome from Arizona!
