Hi y’all
My name is Wrench Love I’m in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Or). New to the whole Overland thing though I’ve been using my rigs to explore and disperse camp for years.
I’m currently building my 2003 Subaru Outback to be my go rig for trail runs and camping. Hopefully I will get lots of ideas within this group. Looking forward to meeting some of you that are in my area.
Thanks

Greetings from South Florida!
completely new to overlanding; have done car camping a bit but looking to take my escape the next step round these parts.

don’t really have pictures of it except after it got stolen and crashed. Future plans: AT tired and HR spring lift just to help get around until I’ve saved enough for a Trailhawk Cherokee with tow package for the dirt bike.

Hello everyone i recently joined.. We are looking in a trailer rig that can support 2 for full time travel. We don't want to be in camp grounds but very much out in the wild. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wanting to stay with off-road types.

Howdy all! My name is Devin I am a carpenter from the Burlington, Vermont area just getting into overlanding over the last year or so. I have been building out my 2002 Tacoma double cab named 'Rubby' and am stoked to get on the (off)road to meet some new folks this summer once the global social climate relaxes a bit. Heres a larger version of the avatar photo, more to come on the drawer systems I built for the old girl. View attachment 151902

Welcome to Overland Bound Matt.
I bet you heard some great campfire stories from Del on your DV trip. He is a member @Del Albright

We heard great stories all day long 8-)
Fantastic trip all the way around. Would go again in a heartbeat.

 

[Polleh]

Hi everyone, my name is Paulina and I'm located in Scotland, UK (for the time being). We bought our Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series last year and have done a little bit of a build in the boot to maximise storage space (attached some photos!). Next are. an ARB front bumper and awning. Our first trip was supposed to be to Morocco in April, but unfortunately we had to cancel due to Coronavirus. Cannot wait to get started though. Hope everyone is keeping safe

Hey Folks,
Yegor here, from the Seattle area. I started off road exploring last year, and this year looking to get into some overlanding - been an avid camper for years.

I rely on my 2019 Tacoma off-road to get me around.

Welcome Yegor ,

I am the Northwest Regional Director for Overland Bound. @Gabriel Bozeman is your closest Member Representative.

Due to “Social Distancing” and “Shelter In Place” practices during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have temporarily postponed group meetups, trail rides, and Campouts. Instead the Northwest Member Rep Team has incorporated weekly conference calls each Sunday at 7:30 PM PST (8:30) Mountain Time). A full list with scheduling can be found at Sunday Night Regional Conference Call

Welcome once again

Stay well, stay safe

Mike Rose

NW Director

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator

• Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
• We will not further define "overlanding".
• "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
• You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
• Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
• Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
• Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
• It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
• We do not care about make or model.
• We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
• We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
• Humility.
• We respect, fear, and protect nature.
• "I don't know" is a great answer.
• We don’t brag about exploits.
• We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
• We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

Sounds like we are on the same frequency!

Hi Kent thank you!

 

[73quadravan]

Thanks for adding me. I have a 1973 Ford Quadravan. Been updating for a minute. Just finished installing 347 stroker. Paint next. Looking to diy roof rack

 

[Bluedevilman]

Hi my names Brian and my wife is Emily. We have a 2018 Jeep JKU Sahara we are building along with my 04 z71 Sunurban that we drive and love. Thinking about getting me a gladiator at some point this year to begin overland on. I'm excited to be here for all the knowledge.

 

[Brett L.]

Hey everyone! My name is Brett and I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I currently own a 2019 Toyota 4runner that I'm going to slowly build into an overland rig. I have a grandiose plan to retire around 52 or 53 and travel the country living out of my rig. We'll see if that actually comes to fruition!

 

[Rackmluzr]

Hi my name is Michael and I am currently living in Oklahoma. I drive a 2018 JLU till the Gladiator Diesel comes out. Have a military trailer converted for my overland setup. Looking forward to meeting new people and getting out with the family more.

 

[Lgmontecino]

Hello. Glad I found this group. I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. I am located in Highland, CA. I consider myself a novice camper, but I want to take that to the next level to overlanding, which I have zero experience in. Hope to ride with some of you in the near future!
