Hello Matt, Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. From a couple of your other posts I’m assuming you are in the South Eastern part of Washington. (BTW putting your town in your profile really helps us help you). @PNW EXPLR is the Member Representative for Southeast Washington. @Sandpoint Steve is Northwest Idaho and Northeast Washington, @Ubiety is the Greater Seattle Area Member Representative, @Gabriel Bozeman for northwest Washington, While @jcgraves3 represents the PDX/Willamette Valley.

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 and hope to see you on the trails.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Hello, My name is Christopher. I'm not completely new to Overlanding but I am new to overland Bound and I'm happy to be here. I have been thinking of joining for a couple of years now but just never did until recently. I have a 2012 JK 2 door based out of Northern California. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I did our first desert run and completed the Mojave road. It was an amazing trip!

Hey all, new guy here from Maryland! Very excited to see and be apart of this group. I grew up camping and exploring in and around Maryland, unfortunately life took control and that exploration kind of fell off. I recently purchased a new Ranger and am using it as an “excuse” to get not only myself by my wife out of the house as I feel getting lost is truly a great form of therapy. Currently in the process of building a bed rack and getting some essentials worked out on the rig and thrilled to get back at it this year!

 

[DelerEagle]

Hi everyone!!!

My name is Deler from Toronto,ON . I currently drive a 2016 ram 2500 which I'm slowly modifying to an aev prospector to take on longer adventures with the wife. I've done lots of camping throughout the years but I'd say I'm a novice at overlanding. I'm here to meet new people, get advice and learn from experienced overlanders and ultimately travel the world one trip at a time!

 

[Ranger Paul]

Howdy y'all!

I'm a Texan that has now made the Raleigh, NC area my home. I'm Paul and my wife and I are new to the Overlanding lifestyle, but are eager to get our feet wet. I have a 2009 Ford Ranger FX4 that I am starting to build into a mild rig. I'm hoping to get lots of advice, especially with finding trails and stitching together trails to create a little bit longer one.

New Member living in Middle Tennessee. 40 years ago we used to load our Backpacks in our Baja Bugs and go exploring and camping in the Deserts and Mountains of Southern California. Recently sold our Class C and still want to go Solo camping. Picked up a Truck Bed tent for my 2014 Ram 1500 and I am going to head out and explore. Don't seem to be finding lots of Overlanding equipment for my Ram but I own it and have the lifetime unlimited miles warranty so gonna keep it. Looking forward to learning what works and grow with each trip.

Hello all! Here to get some ideas on how to set up my new Tacoma as an overland vehicle. I have no overlanding experience in the USA/as a civilian, but I'm not a stranger to living in a vehicle, Hooah! I have a 4 years old boy and I plan on using overlanding to toughen him up! Please reach out with tips and tricks, what worked for you or not and if you had to do it all over again; where would you start prepping your rig?

 

[fjcarlson]
