Hello all
I’m Steve (63yrs) located a few miles from dead center of Canada, in Ste Anne, Manitoba. If I travel to the west its flat through the Prairies for hundreds of miles but once over the Prairies either east or west its trees, rivers and lakes till you hit the east or west coast, amazing country to explore. Plus free backwoods camping is pretty much everywhere: anywhere an hour or two north of the US border.
Not yet retired but soon. My Bucket List items all focus around fishing, duck hunting, foraging and cooking up fresh wild foods as I explore North America. I’m anxious to do the west coast from BC down to Baja. Can’t wait to get to the west coast where I can dig clams, snorkel for crab and lobster, plus all that surf and coastal fishing.
Currently have a 1994 Mazda B3000 4x4 truck (350Klm) with a cap on it. Its stock no extras, not even a winch, carry a come-a-long. Roof racks for whatever watercraft I’m taking along at the time, either a Kayak, SportsPal Canoe or my 16’ Cargo Canoe with an outboard.
I’ve built a very basic sleep and storage unit in the truck bed but so far I prefer to keep my gear in there and sleep in a hammock with a buy screen, very comfortable. No end of places to go free camping here or new places to explore so lots of opportunity to practice living out of this truck.
I hope to learn what rig I need to get next so I can do more extensive, long term (1-3 months out) touring and exploring. So far it might be a Toyota 4Runner so I’m not having to get out of the cab to get something, just seems more practical and secure to go with a rig I can move about in. Also considering an Astro 4x4 van.
Any members traveling through my neck of the woods are welcome to stop by for advise on places to see or camp or park in my back yard overnight to use the facilities.

Hey all,
I'm from Cleveland and looking to get into overlanding. Just got an 07 f150 stx and am looking to get it trail ready for the summer. I'm new to this, and am looking to learn a thing or two.
Also, as far as I know, there aren't many trails in the Cleveland area, don't know if anyone has any suggestions.

Hey all,
I'm in Boise Idaho (do I even need to post the state for that one?)
I bought a 2003 Suburban Z71 a few months back. Been doing some basic maintenance while planning my build. It needed tunes in a bad way, so I put in new speakers all around and an ATOTO A6 Pro head unit. I think that will be really nice for media on the road and navigation. I love checking out everyone's builds and seeing the great solutions to different problems and the aesthetics that people apply. I'm pretty excited to explore the beautiful areas around me.
Edit: Oh yeah. I used to have a Suzuki Samurai in my late teens and 20's. I would drive that thing places I wouldn't walk. I've had a couple of decades since then but I would say I have some overlanding experience.
