The Beautiful Black HIlls of South Dakota is where I call home!

I own a 2015 Subaru CrossTrek-stock. Maybe someday I will get upgrades to get me into even more remote areas, although I have been in some pretty remote fire service roads with this and my previous Subaru Forester.

I would consider myself a Novice when it comes to Overlanding.

I work as a youth program advisor where I teach environmental education to youth in schools, libraries, and clubs.

I am also a volunteer for Pennington County Search and Rescue where I assist the community when needed for lost subjects, vehicle accidents, hiking/climbing injuries, and natural disasters. I am also a NOLS Wilderness First Responder which comes in handy in some situations.

I am a voting member of the Rapid City Urban Wildlife Committee which is a sub-committee of the Rapid City Parks and Recreation Department.

I have a little piece of heaven located in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota (shown in the picture above) where I will hopefully soon be building my home so that I can enjoy all that nature has to offer right outside my front door.

I enjoy taking drives through the Black Hills and exploring new areas and going on adventures near and far (well, mainly near, not so much far yet).

If you are in the area I'd enjoy talking with you about your adventures and letting you in on a few local areas here.

Hi Paha Sapa and welcome to OB! Nice looking Subaru! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Location: St. Paul, MN
Rig: 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 Eco Diesel
Overlanding Experience: Novice so far, No extreme off roading yet!
Have done lots of "Car Camping" over the years, mostly back country areas. Also "camped" out in many interesting areas while traveling around the country. When the sun is setting and the weather is getting bad you dont have many options, you have to get creative... Like a Walmart parking lot in NoWheresVille in the middle of a blizzard... Thankfully with my rig camp is anywhere I park.
Looking forward to connecting with the Overland Bound community and meeting up while on my travels. See you out there!

Hi Topperezlift and welcome to OB! Nice looking Ram! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hi, I'm Kyle from central Indiana. I got the overlanding / off roading bug about 9 years ago. It started with my 95' Mitsubishi Montero. That thing was a beast and always felt like I was going on a safari every time I got in it. We moved on to a 92' YJ and had a blast driving it until the frame broke. (Weird part is it handled the trails just fine with the broken frame, I didn't notice it was broken till it was time to air up the tires and go home.) Now we have a 97' Grand Cherokee and a 04' Suburban, we are very happy with both. We look forward to having adventures with our kids and meeting new friends.

Thank you to everybody that has put so much effort into this website it is awesome.
And Michael, keep making the videos on youtube they are great, we really enjoy watching them.

Hi Kyle and welcome to OB! Nice rigs! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hello all, I have mostly 4x4 short run experience. So I am limited to the Overland experience, especially since in the South East there is not a lot, at least that i have found yet, that i can do. I have a 2011 Ram 3500 crew cab short bed with a cummins motor. Lifted 8", 37" Nitto Tires, and a few other extras at the moment. I am current planning my first big trip for next August and looking forward to reading as much as possible to learn, prepare, and maybe try to gain some new friends, and maybe talk a few of you into joining me. Thank you all very much, and looking forward to speaking with you. I am from Columbia SC
