Hello Luke and welcome to the OB crew....look forward to seeing your adventuresHey all.
My name is Luke! Im extremely new to overlanding, however, I’ve been camping, backpacking, and exploring my whole life, granted, that is only 17 years.
Rig: I have a 95 Chevy K1500 4x4 Pickup. She’s old, with a lot of miles, but she drives and does so reliably. No modifications in terms of off road capability. I built a roof rack and have a lightbar mounted up there, though. I figure it’s not worth putting thousands of dollars into mods until I have something that doesn’t already have 200k miles on it. Plus, I don’t even have that money yet. It’s a dream in progress.
Experience: Almost none. I’ve done a few trips with my best friend, and some solo daily trips. However, I’m not really like most teenagers. I’m not sucked into my phone constantly, and have a passion for the outdoors. I’ve grown up camping and fishing many times each year, and the outdoors is really my home. I look forward to continuing this adventure!

Hi Jack and welcome to OB! Nice rig - can't wait to see pictures! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hi All, I am an old Triad 4x4 club member from back in the 70’s. In Winston Salem NC.
My current rig -which is my everyday driver- is a 1990 Mercedes GD250 x Danish Army Wolf.
Ive been modifing it into a mini camper and my plan is to go on photograpic adventures far off the beaten track. I have been totally impressed with the offroad prowess of this old warhorse! Those three locking differentials are most capable and have gotten me thru lots of tough spots.
I am planning a solo trip to VA to explor the Geo. Washinton forest. Anyone have some advise for me? This will be my first trip there and i know nothing about it.
Thanks, Jack

Great looking trailer man! Welcome.Name: Bill
Local: Central Iowa
Vehicle: 2014 Jeep JK/Dinoot DIY trailer/Tepui RTT
Experience: Working on it....
Hi ya, folks. New member, old guy. Come from 30 years of backpacking. Would have come sooner had I known the benefits of a toothbrush with the handle still intact, cooking real food in cast iron instead of $6 packets of flavored freeze-dried sawdust reconstituted in a wafer thin tin pot , a 3" mattress instead of a half inch thick egg crate foam pad and most especially, a real camp chair with a back and arms instead of a rock. Why didn't any of you say something sooner?
Anyway, look forward to learning a bunch from you young guinea pi, rather, outdoorsmen and women.
