Thank you and yes I have seen the Ripon event unfortunately I’m working on that day but I will keep looking.
By the way, is ham radio a requirement on all the trips as I still don’t have a license.

In October we will be meeting in Ripon CA again if you can make it. Hope you are doing good!

HAM is not required but tends to be our favorite form of communication for many reasons. You can however find very inexpensive Baofeng radios to listen with, although you get what you pay for. :)

No Ham Radio is not required, but obviously Ham is preferred. in my meetup in Auburn there are only 3 of us that are licensed and have ham radios. So if you have at least a a GMRS or CB radio you'll be fine until your licensed with ham.

Location: southwest Michigan

Current Vehicle: 1996 toyota 4runner limited

Experience: novice,

I've been in the outdoors for as long as I can remember. My parents have always instilled this into me, as I got older the love for the outdoors never left. I got into bushcrafting then just this year discovered overlanding and fell in love. Look forward to building my rig into something great that me and my family can enjoy for years to come.

New member,

hello to anyone who reads this. My name is Eric and I’m currently living in New Jersey, I’m going to be quite frank and say I’m a total noob here. I currently have a 16 4Runner Trail and I’ve got it all set up for our (my girlfriend and I) first overland trip. We are planning to go from NJ to VA for overland expo east. I was hoping to maybe find some OB members to meet and a beer with while we are enjoying the weekend.C4E6BA8D-E53B-4CA2-B157-8022452A403F.jpeg
