We (my family) always called it Boon Docking as far as camping, hunting, and fishing. Otherwise we called it going "Cross Country", meaning on the back roads or trails usually requiring a 4x4 because of the terrane. To me Overlanding covers the cross country portion which will include camping on the longer trails.

That pretty much sums it up for me as well. For me it really becomes Overlanding at the planning stage I.e. the navigation part knowing what to expect as far as terrain even before leaving the house.
just moved from Southern California to Tampa, FL. Just looking to get out and camp. Just bought a 2017 TRD OR, so hoping to get away from EVERYONE!

My name is John. I live in Southern CA, West LA to be specific.
I have a 97 Defender. AS 90 and a 2007 LR3 that is now my daily driver.
I would consider myself a quick learning novice. :)
I’m excited to get out more and explore with my young son.

Hey everyone my names Jared and I use to be into wheeling my 2001 XJ back in the day and then life happens and I fell away from that kind of activity and the jeep got sold.
Fast forward a number of years after I met my now wife and we have been spending the past few years rock hounding and metal dectecting and that has pushed us to more and more remote places.
Currently our rig is a 2012 Outback that's only some what upgraded at the moment but that will change in the coming year.
Anyways I'm happy to be here.

Hi Jared, is your rig camera shy ? Nothing better than having a wife that loves the outdoors, second best thing is to have a rig to get you there and back ! Welcome to OB.

Don't forget to send us a pic of your rig when you have time. I cant think of a thing better than to be doing your exploring with your family. It's really not fun doing it alone anyway, I know !

Thanks, now I know why I get lost so often. I'm a bad planner and more of an explorer when I get out. And yes, I get lost quite often and that's half the fun for me. I'm the type who starts of going to Utah and ends up in Oklahoma. When I have stopped to talk to the locals, they will often tell me of a spot they like and even if it's not on my scheduled route, I will go here and there to see it all. It's been awhile since I've been out but I'm hoping to get out in the fall and winter months if my bum legs and back will let me get farther than my driveway..

Hi!
I live deep in the Central Cascade Mountains of Washington State, about 30mins west of Leavenworth and 15 mins east of Stevens Pass. Living so close to so much backcountry I get out every chance can. If I'm not in my 98 4Runner i'm on my dual sport bike. If you're in the area or want to be in the area Im more than happy to have company next time I go out.

Hello everyone,
We are stoked to join the team. My wife and I have built up a 2017 TRD Pro for our trips. We mostly have been going all over Baja for surf and fish. Finding our way to those out of the way places. We are excited to expand our area of exploration. This is the last photo I have our rig but it has changed some.
Cheers, looking forward to meeting you all.

we will have to get together sometime as for your back and legs trust me I understand completely. But I have set a couple goals and I must accomplish them. Border to border, coast to coast 90% or more on dirt. I have traveled extensively in the lower 48. I have been to at least one destination in all 48 but I have always entertained the idea of off-roading then six months ago I came across a video on you tube about the TAT and I have been frothing at the mouth to do this trail.
