Hello everyone,

My name is Andrew.

Location: Raleigh, NC
Rig: 2011 Toyota 4Runner
Experience: I've done a fair amount of off-roading however now that I have a family, I think I'll stick to Forest Service roads and not quite as dispersed camping.

Hi Overland Bound!

My name is Bunni, yes like a rabbit, yes that is my real name. I am located in Oklahoma City, OK. I have always cherished the outdoors and now I getting ready to live a dream with the purchase of a 144 Sprinter that I plan to live out of full time starting in April. I can't imagine more freedom than a different backyard to wake up to every morning.

I am an expert at vehicle dependent travel, when it comes to going straight from point A to point B. But I would like to learn more about vehicles, survival, living off the essentials and going off grid.

Here is my van, Murphy. He's clearly got a long way to go but I can't wait to see how he turns out. If you have any tips or tricks on van life feel free to share :)

Keep exploring

-BB

Hello everyone! I'm new here so I figured i would introduce myself.

I live in the Eugene/Springfield area in western Oregon. I moved here from Michigan in January of 2019. Love it out here!

My overlanding experience is pretty minimal. I worked for a timber company here so I spent tons of time driving in the woods and that has taught me a lot about navigation and knowing the limits of a vehicle. My girlfriend and I have spent many days exploring what we can in her 2015 Jeep Renegade including a trip from Seattle to Detroit in summer 2018 and spending 10 days in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho that same summer. Summer of 2019 we spent a week in North Cascades and explored the surrounding areas. Fall of 2019 we went to the Alvord Desert here in Oregon and I cannot wait to go back.

My current rig is a stock 2004 Ram 2500 with the Hemi V8. I just got it so I'm hoping to work on it this winter to be ready to camp when the rain stops.

Looking forward to learning and exploring more this year!
