Hello all, my name is Tom and I’m From New Jersey. I spend a lot of the warm weather weekends camping in the woods through the north east and I’m hoping to find some new friends to take some awesome trips! I’m currently building my Ridgeline to get me off the beating path.
Greetings Tom, welcome to Overland Bound!

I’m Shaun and I have a 2008 Toyota 4runner. I live in the East Bay in the San Francisco Bay Area and I’ve been overlanding for 4 years now, mostly in the national forests up and down the Sierra Nevada. It’s been fun and insightful to read all the tips and stories from everyone on these forums. Learned a ton already, so I appreciate this community!
Greetings Shaun, welcome to Overland Bound!

Ok, not a “new” member, but it’s been a long time since I’ve logged in, like several years. Life changes will do that. I’ve still been adventuring, but my focus has been on healing.

Remarried 4 years ago and my bride is my constant companion. We had to start last year off looking for a new fly fishing adventure vehicle when ice claimed my trusty 4Runner. Over the last 11 months I built out a new Tundra with a Four Wheel Camper Project M. We love it, and are looking forward to many adventures in the future.

We call West Linn home, just across the river from the End of the Oregon Trail. I own a fly shop and spend my free time planning trips to new fisheries across the west.

Glad you have been able to come back from all your challenges.
You have a great looking rig there so, I hope you and your partner enjoy the travelling and of course the fly fishing.

All the best for the future from us in France.

Cheers Paul and Nicky
