Hi everyone,

1. Kelowna, BC, Canada (expat Kiwi, living here for 4 years)
2 . No rig......yet, piloted a 1993 diesel surf and then a 2000 diesel surf back in NZ
3. Definitely a novice, few beach trips sleeping in back of truck and one ski trip colder than I thought it was going to be!!

Hoping to get into a rig mid 2018, but here to learn from others mistakes and pick up a few tips

Cheers
Rich.
Hello Rich and welcome to OB! You'll find lots of good tip and more here! Safe travels and enjoy those open road!
 
Hi my name is Anthony
I am located in Pittsburgh, PA
My rig is a 2011 Jeep JK
I have a completely restored 60's M416 trailer that I modified to make camping easier (extended tounge, tool box, bedlined, new axle with matching lug pattern and tracking path, 33" tires, etc)
I'm brand new to over landing, but I off-road about 5 times a year and camp with my wife and 2 girls (3 & 6) roughly 4 times a year.
I'm looking to outfit my rig/trailer to make rustic/wild camping more comfortable for my family.

Overland Experience: Novice

My Dad and I have been backpacking and overlanding since I was a kid and we both are still out there adventuring as much as life will allow us. I recently found Overland Bound and am very much looking forward to learning from what this community has to offer and joining in on some group expeditions.

Hey everyone, I'm Chris and my wheeling club is SASQUATCH KRAWLERS.

Located in Southern California

My rigs are:

91 Toyota Pickup, on 35s with 529s, dual cases with 4.7 gears in the rear case, locked front and rear, has sleeping quarters in the bed and currently needs a new 22re.(380k on the stock block.)


92 4runner on 39" KR2s(will soon be 39.5 IROKS) auto tranny for now, dual cases waiting. Warn 8k winch on front and Warn 9.5 Powerplant winch that i need to somehow mount to the rear. This rig is becoming my camping rig.

Novice overlander, though as an Eagle Scout I've done a fair amount of backpacking and hiking. With me always is my Fiance and my two dogs, a Cane Corso and an Amstaff. We are always looking to explore further.

Hi All! I didn't know that I wanted to be in the Overland category when I bought my Jeep but my entire life is one big BUGOUT Bag so this makes sense! Loving it and can't wait to ensure my Ride is good to go!
 
Hello, I'm Gary and just received my number this afternoon. Very excited.
I own a 2012 FJ Cruiser fit for overlanding.
Pretty much a novice offroader. Nothing like the Rubicon.
I just moved to Sisters, OR . from San Diego so I have plenty of forest roads practically outside my front door. Also have traveled some of the Backcountry Discovery Routes.
