Hi all! Glad to be here. My fiance and I live in Central VT and last winter acquired a 07 Ford F150, took it camping this summer in VT and NH, and were instantly hooked!! We chose to get rid of it due to mechanical problems, trade in one of our cars, and get a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic. Were waiting on the cap right now. We're hoping for a couple mild December nights to take it out!!

Not a true 'over-lander',
but this Crosstrek has taken us places our old Honda wouldn''t have found. More adventures planned for 2021. I hope to learn from this group.

Welcome! I also have a Crosstrek! It is very capable and I love it, I’m sure you will enjoy yours!

Hey all,

New member here, I live in the SF Bay Area and have a fully built 99 Jeep WJ with 35’s built for rock crawling. I have a full build thread on Mallcrawlin but with kids and work overlanding has become more of the focus. Looking forward to sharing my build on here and getting ideas and tips on what to do next.

Welcome!

Good evening OLB. Just getting my feet wet to these forums, but long time camper and new to overlanding (used to backpacking, so bringing all of the amenities is great!). Currently have a stock 4 door Geo Tracker and a Thule Tepui tent on it, but looking for something that's a little more comfortable/capable of driving longer distances and maintain highway speed in the hills, thankfully there's not many near me in Central Ohio! Looking forward to learning and sharing with like minded people.

Sam here. Just moved out to Springfield Missouri. I've always been an avid camper when I lived in Southern California and wanted to add to the experience with my love for trucks. I was always a 4runner guy, mostly 1st and 2nd gens, but recently bought a 14 ram 1500. I've never but a vehicle from scratch looking forward to it with this truck. Im a novice when it comes to builds and off-road so any tips are very appreciated.

 

[ItchingForAdventure]

It’s great to see such a large and widespread community of overlanders here! I’ve always enjoyed camping, but it’s been some time since I’ve gotten out there. I’ve done some short adventure trips with my vehicle here and there, but it was a recent trip to Michigan’s UP that really got me itching for more overland adventures and wanting to take it to the next level. I’m eager to get out there with my vehicle and do some more exploring!

Northern California here, looking to go on a few first time trips doing true overlanding. Experienced with camping and car camping only, but not offroad. No capable rig yet, explorer only which I don't want to bang up.

Looking to possibly rent a rig for our first 1 or 2 trips this year and next, to see how we like it, and what we like to drive.

Hello my name is Kevin aka “Lucky Strike”

Location: Carlsbad, CA
Rig: 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5
Overlanding Experience Background: Novice

My Background
I am an avid outdoor enthusiast. As a California native, I love to hike and film our beautiful mountain ranges here. I received my B.A. in Music from UCLA and, my MBA from San Diego State. My day job is working in sales support for AT&T selling networks to the USAF. I reside in Carlsbad, CA with my lovely wife and two cats.

My goal is to take this lovely Subaru Outback to places more adventurous than the garage it is pictured in. I have taken it into the Sierras numerous times but each time have left it at some wonderful trailhead. I feel it is getting lonely with this arrangement. So I‘ve decided to start Overlanding in it.

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

That's a good looking Outback!

Even though my primary adventure vehicle is an old Jeep, I also have a Subaru Crosstrek. It's great for our slightly less aggressive trips to nowhere.

Enjoy!

Christian
