Greetings from Utah! Damon and Tina here....we are excited about the adventures that lay before us and the opportunity to explore new and less-traveled paths. We have been working to outfit our truck and are going to be out on our first adventure this weekend in the Uinta wilderness of northern Utah.

Hello all, my name is John but you can call me JJ. I am new to overlanding and plan on doing it full time. I am a retired veteran, U.S. Coast Guard, and decided to get away from it all and explore what this great county has to offer. I love to fish, fly fishing is my favorite, so recommendations on great spots are welcomed! I currently have a Jeep Grand Cherokee (no mods) and a ground tent. Figured I would get tips and tricks from experienced folks before I spend thousands of dollars on gear. I am travelling with my pug dog Wrigley and plan on leaving Indiana in a week or so and head west towards Yellowstone.
Welcome to Overland Bound
As a full timer you will be able to get local information from our Regional Directors and they can also get you in touch with the local Member Representatives. For your trip to Yellowstone @Neal A. Tew is the Rocky Mountain Regional Director who is very knowledgeable about the Rocky Mountain region.
We have a full time member who started a full time thread on the forum that hopefully you will find useful. Still working on getting our full timers to post on it more.

Howdy from Minnesota

My name is Matthew, a new member, and my wife is Vicky. We currently have a Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad, and we had a Chevy Silverado previously that we used, but that thing was so big it barely fit anywhere beyond the standard forest roads. We're hoping the Tacoma helps us get into some of the more interesting and unique places we've been wishing to go to.
I'd say we're still fairly novice in the world of overland, though we've been doing it for about 8 years now in both the US and Taiwan (my wife's home). Though we're primarily in the US, if we are in Taiwan for a more lengthy amount of time, we usually go with friends or rent out a Hilux or an older Delica.

Hello from Indiana. New to the group and concept of Overlanding. I drive a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab. It's 4x4 with the 2.7 four cylinder engine. Still learning and building my ride. Thanks for adding me to the group.
