Hello from Nash Vegas!
The other day, my Doctor said "You need to get a hobby." I am a semi-retired workaholic who has decided revisit the activities I enjoyed in the past. Fishing, camping and traveling the highways and byways. I feel confident this community can help fulfill my needs.

Welcome to Overland Bound, David. I’m sure you’ll like it here!
Hi all,
new member here. No real overlanding experience but very drawn to the concept.I'm in the Pacific NW ( NW Oregon ). A good many years of car camping. Mostly to developed campsite ( ie at least pit toilet and a picnic table ). Always tent camping. Did rent a off-road capable tear drop last summer. We didn't take it off road, but it was eye opener and a game changer, most especially the galley kitchen at back. My wife hates clutter and taking forever to set up / tear down ( not to mention getting packed up to actually leave ). Glancing around the forum and the website / you tube channel I see we have lots of good ideas to learn from to improve our game ! We camp with 2 kids as well, they are at least old enough to be helpful now !
Campgrounds getting so crowded these days, anything reservable has to be booked 6+ months in advance and gets booked up within minutes of availability opening up. Takes all the fun out of spontaneous camping and makes it into the proverbial "rat race". Hence getting off the beaten track and being self sufficient seems to be the way to go.
I drive a 2007 Outback XT (5 sp manual ), other vehicle is a '15 Toyota Highlander, which we usually take camping with the kids. I run Falken Wildpeak tires on both cars. It's not a good camping trip for me unless I come back with dust on the vehicle. Got to get off pavement onto forest / logging roads at least !
I'm in the process of upgrading my vehicle rather radically : 2022 RAM 1500 Rebel on order ! Lots to learn about what I can do in terms of Roof top tents, tonneau covers and all that stuff.
Looking forward to gleaning some good tips from the community here.
