Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hey all, I’m Hunter from Illinois. Just getting into overlanding but have been into camping all my life. I drive a 2018 Silverado that I plan on making my overland rig until I can get going on my International Scout build. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Welcome to the OB crew, to get started on your overlanding journey, head over to the Boot Camp threads here in the forums, there is a lot of useful information on almost every aspect of overlanding, be sure to ask questions, our experienced overlanders here are happy to answer questions and offer you advice. Be sure to check out the vehicle build threads, there you can find lots of ideas to incorporate into your own build.

2) Location: Sumter, South Carolina

3) Vehicle: 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave

4) Overlanding Background experience: Novice.
I was a U.S. Army Airborne Infantryman when I ets'd after 12.5 years. Most of my overlanding was on foot, carrying everything on my back. Drove Tractor Trailers for a few years, living out of a sleeper every night with a mini fridge. I've never done this for fun and giggles. I am getting ready to learn from you pro's so I can do this for enjoyment and relaxation now. Thanks for being here.

Hey everyone! I’m David from Mississippi and this is my 2003 TJ with a ‘67 M416 trailer. I’m really new at this and my set up now is more of a camping rig. But, I’m wanting to slowly get into more actual overlanding. I look forward to learning from y’all.

Hello! New member :)

My name is Alex from FL. I drive a 2019 GMC Canyon and I'm just starting to get into Overlanding. I have always enjoyed hiking and camping but more recently wanted to combine that with off road travel and camping. I don't have whole lot of equipment, just basic camping gear. Hoping to one day get a tear drop trailer. Here is my vehicle:

Overlanding is NOT about the gear, it is about the adventure and the exploration. If you have your basic camping gear, go explore, find an adventure, make memories that will last a lifetime.
