My name is Brian and I am located in the Southwest Missouri area. My wife and I have camped for years but only got into “overlanding” about a year ago taking our truck through the mountains of Colorado. Much of our focus is continuing to travel the backroads and see all the things that are out there. We have a 2018 Ram 2500 that we are starting to fix up after selling our 2017 Tacoma. Looking forward to meeting some of you all through this site

Just joined at Overland Expo EAST! We are located at Gloucester Point, VA just across the river from Yorktown battlefields. Having grown up in the Shenandoah Valley, I've done my fair share of tent camping. My wife is from New England, so we vacation in Cape Cod and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I also have a buddy with off the grid property that my son and I camp at. Just purchased a Gazelle tent at the Expo as well. Looking forward to making new friends and learning new destinations!

Our rig is a 2018 Toyota Off Road Premium with subtle mods. A Victory 4x4 roof rack is on order!

Hello from Ohio/Michigan. We call West Central Ohio home (former home of the great black swamp) but spend a fair amount of time in the Eastern part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I've enjoyed camping/hiking my whole life but am just getting into Overlanding. You can follow our families exploits on Instagram at @blackswampoverland. Our family friendly overland rig is a 2013 Ram 1500 with some light modifications. While in the U.P. we also like to have fun in our 1990 Geo Tracker, lovingly refered to as the #uptyhoopty.

Hello! My name is Ryan. I have been a bushcraft and hammock camper for a few years. I love going out in the woods and make camps and chill with a hammock, tarp and a small assortment of tools and cordage. I have recently realized that my Outback has more capabilities than I thought if I invest a bit. I recently picked up a roof top tent and and have the bug to go out and see what there is to see. Saving up for wheels and tires. Had encouragement that it can do what I need it to do from another member, so I am STOKED!

Hey everyone,
Signed up for my OB membership this weekend at the Overland Expo 2019. I’m brand new to overlanding, went camping a good bit as a kid though and wanted to get back into it. I just picked up a 2019 Tacoma long bed and don’t have much in the way of gear yet but looking forward to getting started. Very open to advice and recommendations!

Hey all. My name is Duane
I’m from Eastern EU (Kosovo)
I drive a 2002 Nissan Patrol
I’m totally new to this type of community, looking to learn and explore. Unfortunately I can only travel weekends occasionally I can do long weekends or maybe even a week here and there depending on the time of year.
if anyone is in our area, look us up. We have plenty of room for overnighters.

Welcome from down south (Washington)!

Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area.
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for other members in your area.

Nice FJ! Super jealous! Love the trailer as well. Do you find it decreases your travel options or MPG? Looking at getting one for my adventures.

Good Morning Overland Bound Community. My name is Hunter, a long time lurker to the forums that just recently pulled the trigger and joined the community officially at Overland Expo East. I'm currently living in Charlottesville, VA. I was previously driving a 2013 Wranger JK but the wife and I decided that we need a bit more room. Now we're driving a 2017 4Runner TRD OffRoad. Looking forward to meeting more members in the area!

Hi Gabriel,

Hello from BC, nice to meet you. Thank you for the compliments, the FJ is a beast, lol, it does use a lot of gas, don't really see a difference when towing the trailer, the FJ just goes where ever I want it to go. The trailer really helps hauling equipment and supplies, we have started looking at ways to minimalize. Already have been checking out the map and the Rally Point system, can't wait to start exploring.

Jeff

Howdy all, SoberNomad here. My first rig is a 2017 Jeep JKU, zero mods so far. My second rig is a 2005 Toyota Sequoia, no mods yet other than getting it mechanically solid. I’m just getting started in overlanding, but I’ve been traveling and camping for many years. Looking forward to learning from y’all and contributing when I can!

Hey everyone, Clint here from South Texas. My wife and I have overlanding spectators for about a year and we finally bought a 2019 Toyota TRD Offroad Premium a few months ago. Our pan is to make this daily driver a most capable weekend warrior. Rock sliders have been ordered and next on the list is the suspension and BFG'S.

Hey everyone, I'm from Nova Scotia Canada. Love getting out camping and off roading and have always wanted to combine the 2. Have a 1981 GMC Jimmy that I'm fixing up and I want to gear up for weekend trips into the woods.
I'm mainly a reader and came for the knowledge of more experienced people.

Hey, everyone! Finally getting to the point financially where I can get my Jeep back. It's been a good 15 years since I've been able to have her and run trails. Didn't do a lot when I had her due to the (ex)wife, but felt so much at home when I did. Looking forward to getting back out there!
