Hello everyone,

Warren here, most just call me “Dean-o”
Just getting started in overlanding adventures, many many years of camping in the military and my life before that. Life got busy and have not been out exploring in several years. Earlier this year, did a quick trip to south Texas with a good friend and realized how much I missed it. Now I want to get back into exploration and camping, overlanding is the next best thing! Location: Central Texas -Alamo area. Rig: 2020 Toyota Tundra Platinum
Experience: just a beginner

New to overlanding but super excited to get involved with some adventures with my 2 dogs. My wheels are a 2008 Tacoma. Built a bed with drawers in the canopy last summer. Slowly stocking my camping gear and tricking out my stealth camping bedroom as I learn what is relevant and what is not. Located in beautiful British Columbia Canada

Hello All,

This is Teja.

1. Fremont,CA
2. 1999 Lexus LX470 - bought it back in Feb which came with some modifications already done to it and added little touches to call it my own.
3. Experience - I’ve driven on some trails solo but nothing serious off-roading. I’m a beginner and new to overlanding.

Thanks and be safe!

Hello Overlanders!

My Name is Adam, KC3MYO and yep, I’m also into amateur radio. I’m located PA and I drive a 2013 Honda Pilot which is just getting broken in with 135,000 miles of fun! The All terrain tires and my VHF/UHF radio have gotten me in too.. and out off just about as much trouble as I can create!

I’m new to the OB world so I’d consider my self a novice. Currently, when I’m not playing radio, my newly formed family and I are shifting the focus of our travelers from destination based, to journey centered. Which means I’ll probably sell the tent I currently have in exchange for something more... mobile.. .

Until we meet on the trail, free to reach out and 73s!

Adam
Hello Adam, welcome to the OB community. That's quite the tent.

Hello. Found this site on YouTube.
Location Eugene Oregon
Vehicle 1986 Ford F250 Extra Cab 4X4 Diesel (WIP) The pic is when my son borrowed it and it broke down. Doing lots of work to it.
After getting my license I would drive around a lot. Once I got my Toyota 4X4 I would get the old Forestry Maps go a ways up a highway find a road, look for the next one and try to find the longest way to get to it. Sometimes I would drive 30 or 40 miles to travel a mile up the road. Miss it so much.

Hello from IA!
Joined to help my research of Overlanding out west. I have spent some time nearly everywhere but really enjoy being between anywhere near the Rockies. Unfortunately I have always done so from the pavement. Hoping to change that.

Hello Everyone,
Name is Jose.
I live in HB, Orange County, California.
I've been an avid camper and backpacker for more than 10 years now,. I used to off road a lot in Baja, so when I found overlanding was the combination of 2 of my favorite things I had to get into it! Recently got a Tacoma and decided to get back into off-roading, Since I don't know many people that like doing this, here I am, and exited to be part of the group and go on some adventures.

Hello Everyone. I'm Ryan. My wife and I recently purchased a GX470 to dip our toes into overloading. We are just getting started. We both like photography and video production on a hobby level and look forward to combining these hobbies with overloading in the great outdoors. We are in the northern Utah area near Salt Lake City.

View attachment 194920
The GX. Still stock for now...

We also have a Ford Bronco on order and are excited for that to come.
Welcome to Overland Bound Ryan
The 470 is a very capable platform that can be modded very easily to get further off road. And thee Bronco, well I can only think that it will be great.

Hi everyone,
My name is Craig and I am from Anchorage Alaska. Been into overlanding for around 5 years now as a way to get out and explore the state with my family (now 13 and twin 10year olds) started with my personal rig a 2000 landcruiser and now starting up a side gig renting overland vehicles in Alaska as Alaska Overlander with two new 4runners fully kitted out with everything you need and an Valiant expedition trailer. Check us out at www.alaskaoverlander.com

Love this activity and our family has so many memories that we will keep with us.

Level? Constantly learning and exploring.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail

Hi!
My name is Kelli and I’m from Central Pennsylvania (between Harrisburg/State College).
I drive a 2014 VW Touareg.
We’re campers and backpackers but brand spanking new to over landing - I hadn’t even heard over that word until 2 weeks ago when we binge watched Lifestyle Overland.
