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.

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!

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!

Hello,
I am extremely excited to start off roading. I don’t have a Jeep or a Tacoma but I’ll make sure my Subaru will get me to all the places I want to explore!

Welcome to the OB crew, it doesn’t matter what you drive, we don’t judge, it is all about the adventure and the exploration.

Welcome to the OB crew, you can still go overlanding without fancy gear, if you have the basics, tent, food, water and an a sense of adventure, go explore.

Thank you. Yes, some States are EXPENSIVE to drive through. Cali was $3.49 per gallon. New York State charges for everything possible. The Dakotas are windy, be prepared.
I packed way too much stuff. But I had to figure that out on my own. Best piece of advice - it will ALWAYS take longer and cost more than you expect... plan accordingly.

Rig: 2016 Jeep JKU Sport S
Location: Charlotte, NC
Experience: Novice

I purchased a Subaru two years ago and owned it for a year. It got me and my family off the beaten path for some adventuring. After seeing what amazing sights are practically in our back yard, we became hooked on the idea of vehicle dependent travel. We purchased the Jeep to get us even further out. The outdoors has become a means of resetting and bonding for my family. Our first major trip is coming this summer when we hope to travel from NC to CO by way of NM and the Enchanted Rockies Trail.

Overland Bound seems to be a great platform and its members have already been influential in the start of our adventure by means of Youtube. It only seemed right to join in!

Hey everyone! So glad I came across OB, I’ve been following Michael on Instagram for a while now not realizing this is a whole thing!

Anyway, i’ve been rock crawling Jeep’s since 2014 when I was stationed in WA, now I’m transitioning to the longer treks and the more relaxing experiences of overland. I look forward to meeting and sharing experiences with everyone and hope to see y’all on the trail!
