Hello everyone, New Member here... My name is Juan and I am completely new to overlanding, have no experience but I am very interested into learning, not too keen to camp overnight, but more I want to visit new places and discover some easy trails for the day.

Location: Antioch, Ca
Rig: 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 (stock for now, but want to lightly modify it)
Experience: None
Welcome to OB! There is plenty of experience here to help you, always feel free to reach out.
Remember what works for someone else may not work for you. Overlanding is personal so have fun with it!

Hello, Im Robert, Use to do Boondocking we called it, back in my 20's ,,, Just starting to outfit my 2008 F-150, Looking forward to learning and exploring
Same here, I've been upgrading my front suspension so I can finally get rid of my wobble lol

Welcome to OB! Nice to see another early 2000 vehicle!
Yes, it’s dependable, and parts are cheap, will probably drive it until it falls apart….

Hello everyone, kinda new to the group. However, my husband is lurking around on here somewhere! We are not new to camping or traveling, but we are new to overlanding and we are loving the OB site. It is tough for us to get out with our jobs, He is an Emergency Manager and I am an ER Nurse at our VA and the Level One Trauma Center in Memphis and it has been a crazy 22 months. We look forward to meeting up with and learning from everyone here. Thanks for all the advice you guys have already given us.

We also each have our own vehicles.

Hello all my fellow wanderers!
My name is Tyson but I go by Ty, unless you’re on the trails with me and my friends who refer to me as “baby yoda” (because I’m only 4’11” tall lol!)
I was born and raised on the beach in Clearwater Florida and now reside in the foothills of north Georgia. I love to live my life outdoors!
My wife and I were blessed with 3 beautiful daughters who inherited my need for adventure (but thankfully they look like my wife lol)! So I am newer without at least one of my mini me copilots!
But my favorite copilot is my Doberman Goose!
My rig, Artemis, is my home away from home. She’s a 2019 4Runner SR5 premium. I love how unique we all make our rigs. Artemis is outfitted with a 3” Ironman suspension, Patagonia M/T shoes, Alpha equip rock sliders, ARTech and TRD underbelly protection and topped off with Diode Dynamics fog lights and KC Flex Era 3 ditch lights. And the inside reflects my funny and bright personality with my TRD red interior.
My experience in Overlanding began when I bought my 4Runner 2 years ago and I can’t get enough of it! To date all my travels have kept me finding new trails all over the south east, however I’m stoked that this year we will be venturing out to Colorado to conquer a few of the big name trails and add new badges to my rig!!!
I’m excited to learn new tips, trails and experience from other members in overland bound! Hope to see some y’all out in the great outdoors!
Welcome to OB and welcome to gerogia like wise hope to see you on the trail

I will upload a picture later.
I am currently station in New England and enjoy running through Maine and New Hampshire.
Recently got into Overlanding but have a lot of off road experience.
Currently drive a 1997 Wrangler TJ with a 3 inch lift.
I am a total noob when it comes to overlanding and will be taking my first real trip in February into the Maine North Woods with a group from work.
Hello Benjamin, welcome to Overland Bound!
