Hi, I'm new here. My name is Mike.

I'm based in the Pacific NW, specifically Portland, OR. I drive a 2013 Jeep Rubicon that I have been modifying to support travel into remote sections of the NW. Hoping to be able to extend my time and reach to more places in the West. Overlanding (and preparing my vehicle for trips) has been my primary recreational activity for the past 4 years . I was out of the 4x4 scene for a lot of years... but I have very fond memories of exploring off the beaten track in my dad's FJ40 as a kid. I knew someday I would make my way back.

This is my rig from a couple weeks ago in the Alvord Desert in SE Oregon. Spent the night on the playa (highly recommended) as we worked our way back west after exploring the Owyhee Canyonlands near the Oregon/Idaho/Nevada border.

Hello All.

I am new to the "Overlanding" mindset, although I grew up in British Columbia, Canada and spent most of my formative years in the woods. Camping, hiking, fishing, etc... My family and I are now in Calgary Alberta and are starting to get back to the types of adventure I grew up with.

Just recently, I sold my commuter car and picked up a well worn 2003 V8 4runner that is slated to become our camp/adventuremobile as well as my daily. So far, the truck has performed well. We have added a Toytec 3" kit, BFGoodrich 285's with Black Rhino wheels, a Prinsu rack and a Smittybilt awning. I have a Smittybilt winch and Demello single loop sitting on my garage floor waiting for install. We are also trying to adhere to the 3 case method of packing using some Plano cases (although it seems tough to pack lean when you have 2 young kids rollin with you).

Anyways, here are a couple photos from last weekend in Banff camping with the family.

Thanks!

Hello,

My Husband and I are soon to be empty nesters of triplets -they are off to University this August. We currently have a 2016 Honda Odyssey mini van that we use a Teupi tent with. We have car camped from , Canada ,where we lived for a number of years , to the entire west coast to over 30 states. Our next trip in September will be the first trip with just Hubby and I alone since the birth of our children. So we are excited to do a camping trip just us two. First time we will have so much room. We are going to do the west coast again just the two of us. If anyone as any info on great camp sites that we can get to in our mini van it would be greatly appreciated. Love campsites that are in the middle of nature with only the deer and the eagles is fine by us. Thanks SequoiaMoon
