Hey y'all
I'm from Hampton Roads Virginia. I've got absolutely ZERO experience with overlanding, I just like camping and working on older cars, so I figured I'd combine the two! I'm currently building an '85 CJ-7 and I'm trying to get her ready for her maiden voyage in July!
Welcome! From Fredericksburg Va.

Hello all! Just joined up (finally) at Overland Expo in Flagstaff. I'm Makia, from just outside of Boulder, CO. I dump all of my money into a 2017 Jeep Rubicon Recon Unlimited and camera gear. The Jeep has a few overland-specific mods; 23Zero Litchfield RTT, Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform, Goose Gear platform and cubbies with a 60% seat delete, fridge and slide, secondary electrical with solar under the goose gear, and a few other things.

Looking forward to meeting peeps on here and seeing what adventures are next.

Hi everyone! I'm Benjamin Jarvis.

I've been an Overland Bound/Overland lurker on YouTube and various sites/channels for the past year and a half or so. I decided to take the plunge into this community to learn as much as I can so I can start having my own adventures!

You can find me in the Dallas, TX area.
I have a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.
I have no overlanding or camping experience. Just a revitalized passion for being outdoors and traveling to new places.

I'm excited to be here - talk soon!

Hey everyone,

I’m Paul from Rhode Island. I drive a 2010 Jeep JKU Sahara. Originally started building it up for crawling and mud, but have come to realize the fiancé and I prefer longer distance travel while avoiding the main roads. Starting off slow with the traditional type of camping gear, minimal recovery gear, and plan on doing the Maine loop that goes to the abandoned trains and the B-52 crash site in about a month. Open to any pointers people have and other routes in the New England area. Look forward to reading about everyone’s experiences and sharing our own. Also if anyone has any pointers on equipment and techniques for filming your adventures that would be a big help. We have a DSLR and i would love to be able to document our trips to share them.

Hi everyone,

I am Johannes (aka Frisko) from the southern part of Germany and I am living quite close to Stuttgart (but grew up in the eastern part of Germany). I always liked the overlanding livestyle but never had an offroad rig so far, which will change soon (yehaa..:hearteyes: ) and I will get my 4door JK Wrangler in two weeks. It will be converted into a camper then. I am also a big kayak fan and currently changing the focus there into sea kayaking, where I have not that much experience so far. But there are a lot of nice places where I still want to paddle in the comming years especially in the fjords and around the islands in Norway, around Ireland and Scotland is also very nice. So bottom line is, spending less time in the office and more days in nature. I am following the overland bound community for almost a year now, really like the idea and core principles and it is also good to see, that the European member count is constantly growing.

Looking forward to get in touch with you.
Johannes

Hey everybody! Names Justin.
I'm from the San Francisco bay area. My rig is a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport, no crazy mods yet. I would say I'm an overlanding newbie, with a moderate amount of off road experience.
