Howdy folks!
We live in Austin Texas
2019 4x4Toyota Forerunner TRDPro
NO experience overlanding YET(gulp), but committed to the adventure and process of learning, and connecting with momma Nature as much as possible with the new rig. (Tired of too noisy campgrounds and the sound of a highway inside our tent!) We have so many questions...quite excited. Planning a trip to Montana end of July.

Thanks for the info.
I was a Scoutmaster for 15 years with the BSA so I have multiple trainings in Tread Lightly, Leave no Trace, wilderness 1st aid and was the wilderness survival instructor for 9 years with too many trainings and certs to list. I would love to update my tread lightly so thanks for the link. I think I help out in the Las Vegas Area if there was any need and thanks again...

Current Vehicle: 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8 Limited
Previous Vehicle: Too many to list
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: My family and I have always been an outdoor type of people and love traveling, camping, and exploring new places. I am an automotive enthusiast and enjoy modifying vehicles, whether it be 4 wheels, 2 wheels, racing, or offroading. Overlanding is a great combination of those two passions and I've been hooked ever since.

Hey Everybody!
Brand new member from Utah. Super excited to meet new people and get out there with new friends!

Location: South Jordan, UT
Rig: 2020 Jeep Gladiator, 2.5" Teraflex lift, Flacon shocks, Nomad wheels. iKamper Skaycamp Mini on a Yakima Outpost HD bed rack
Overlanding Experience: 10 years overlanding and I have been camping and hiking all my life

[Deadwood]

Hello all! Brand new member today after hearing about this site/group at work.

Location: Central Valley, CA
Rig: 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (LJ) - but only for 1 more week! Sold to a family member. Jeep Gladiator on order.
Overlanding Experience: Going with Novice. Did a lot of camping, etc while growing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota (hence my forum name), as well as a lot of "overlanding" family trips when I was younger. My dad, the pilot, drove everywhere! Now that I have 2 young sons, I want to take them out camping and overlanding as much as possible. There is too much natural beauty to see and experience to stay cooped up at home.

Thanks!
