Greener than Novice

I’m glad a very novice person, as myself to the world of overlanding, can join this community. I hope to learn a lot about the great outdoors and traveling with just my gear and my Jeep through new experiences.
Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

From MA, been a member of the forum for sometime, but just lurking. Figured I would post something. Use a 2004 v8 4Runner mostly but also have a 2016 4Runner (wife's) and a 2017 Tundra.

These days I actually enjoy the forums over social networking, simple, to the point, access to a wealth of knowledge at my fingertips.

Hello Overlanders,

My fiance and I are from NYC and over the summer we converted our 2007 Toyota 4Runner into an overlanding rig. We are now venturing throughout the states for the next 8 months visiting National Parks and other beautiful locations. We are very novice as coming from the city we did not have many opportunities to go camping but we are travelers and adventures at heart. We are glad to join this community to learn from other overlanders!

Hey I remember my first days in AZ, just moved out of NY. Born in the Bronx, I quickly found a new love for the outdoors, spent most of my ASU and NAU days camping in Northern AZ to road trips down south.
You’re going to have a blast, and you have a Team that you can hit up on this Forum anytime.
Man 8 months, don’t forget to post pics of your adventures.
Stay safe, and Happy Holidays

Introductory post!

Long time overlander, but new to OB. I plan on scouring the forums for leads on other adventurers in my area, but I’ll leave it here just in case.
Name’s Perry, and I drive a 2013 XTerra with quite a few upgrades. Home base is in the Bay Area of California, so any NorCal folks feel free to say hello!
We trek all over California, with plans to push further east after the pandemic cools down. Very much looking forward to linking up with more of you!

Welcome to the site! Good friendly folks here.

 

[PNW EXPLR]

Location: King County, WA (in the burbs outside of Seattle)
I started getting into offroad experiences 2 years ago with a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. It was going to be tough to go camping with and to bring my kids, so purchased a 2020 Jeep JLU Rubicon a couple months ago. I like some of the slightly technical trails, but really I just like to get out on the FS roads to interesting places. Planning to do some camping and travel with it this year.
Experience: I've car camped throughput my life, but never done vehicle supported travel with camping along the route. I have backcountry backpacked and have loved the outdoors my entire life. I'm looking forward to another extension of that experience.

Hello Steve, Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @PNW EXPLR and @jcgraves3 are your closest member representatives.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome Daniel and hope to see you on the trails.

Hello Overlanders,

My fiance and I are from NYC and over the summer we converted our 2007 Toyota 4Runner into an overlanding rig. We are now venturing throughout the states for the next 8 months visiting National Parks and other beautiful locations. We are very novice as coming from the city we did not have many opportunities to go camping but we are travelers and adventures at heart. We are glad to join this community to learn from other overlanders!

Hey I remember my first days in AZ, just moved out of NY. Born in the Bronx, I quickly found a new love for the outdoors, spent most of my ASU and NAU days camping in Northern AZ to road trips down south.

Do you have a Roof Rack or Bed Rack to mount your awning / canopy? For a Rack Mount - I'm looking into Rhino-Rack's Done 1300 awning to mount on my Prinsu Roof Rack, I also picked up Slumberjack Roadhouse Awning.
