Hi all. jackco48 here. Love the platform and all the YT vids. I don’t have a rig per se. long story on why I moved out of my 4Runner into a 2017 Kia Sorento SX, but I am pulling a Mean Bean, so still hitting the outdoors. My wife and I are too old to wander too far off grid these days, but we’re no slouches either. Great place to learn new things.

Will here from Southern Oregon. I grew up out here wheeling and camping like most. Spent a bit of time in the Navy and later enlisted in the Army. My time in the Army was mostly spent on a "mobility team". My team moved around on snow machines, ATV's, and all sorts of trucks.

My family currently moves around in the wild via a 2010 Raptor with one of the first gas guzzling 6.2L. Right now we are expanding into a trailer set up so the furry family can cruise with us.

Glad to be here and looking forward to the adventure.

Hi guys and gals of the Overland Bound universe!

So we are Tuk South, a group of 4 lads bringing three wheeler tuk tuks to the overland world. We are currently trying to wrestle our three wheeled friends from Kenya to Cape Town in South Africa. I cant wait to introduce ourselves

View attachment 224678View attachment 224679View attachment 224680
2) So we are Africa based at the moment. Kenya is home but we are half way through our journey to the southern tip of the continent, so i guess Malawi works
3) Rig - Lets bring out the big guns for this one - Piaggio Ape auto DX and Piaggio Ape Extra DX - 8.5hp of pure diesel power
4) Overlanding experience is pretty good, but nothing really prepares you for offroading in a tuk tuk

Hello Will, Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. I believe @Big G is your closest member representative, but unsure because southern Oregon is huge. We use our locations to help members find active groups close to home within the community.

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.
