Ah, lifelong outdoors guy tent camping canoe camping. Just love being outdoors doing something. Also we tow a 2021 pop-up camper and try to get on at least one good driving trip a year. Hoping to make it more overland!!! Anybody ever in my area needs a hand just ask!!!

Hello everyone,

As of a few weeks ago we live in TorC, NM. My better half and I began overlanding about 4 years ago but really kicked it into overdrive when the pandemic started. Most of our time has been spent exploring Colorado and Wyoming but have made several 2-3 week trips in the past two years (CO to CA, CO to FL, and a two week WY summer vacation). We have plans to head to the PNW for at least a month at the end of July and Baja some time in the fall. I now work remotely (thank you COVID) so we hope to overland a lot more from here on out (thank you Starlink). We look forward to meeting other members and getting a chance to tag along on some of your planned expeditions.

Cheers,
Dennis G.

Good looking set up. I agree that star link has opened up the possibilities to work from just about anywhere. No more fake backgrounds for calls, you can have the real thing.

Hello ~ I'm Martyn, and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I have a 2008, Toyota, 4Runner that I recently starting using for more than just a daily driver. I plan on going on more trips, adventures, offroading and overlanding. Nothing too crazy, as it is my daily and i need to use it for work as well.
In the last year or so, I've occasionally been going out with a few new and more knowledgeable enthusiasts, that I've met along my journey.

Hello Dennis, welcome to Overland Bound.
Thank you for your service, it is deeply appreciated.

Thanks man! It was the single best decision of a young punk with no desire to go to college from the Bronx like me could have made.

Hi,
New to the group and overlanding. My experience is with adventure motorcycling (BMW R 1200 GSA) but my son always asks, “papa, why do you always want to go on those trips and leave me at home?”

So this is his answer! Since I can’t bring him on the bike, I’m setting up a Gladiator for new family adventures!

Dont get me wrong, the bike will still get it’s attention!

First adventure is a short drive from Nantucket, MA to Alaska. One month living in the jeep and learning lots!

Rig - in progress phase 1. 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

Location - Nantucket Island

Experience adventuring in a Jeep - Newbie, but experienced on a bike.

Hey there fellow Overlanders!

I can't really call myself an overlander yet... However, we just ordered our RTT and bed rack a few days ago and my wife and I are beyond excited. I am in the process of setting up my 3.5L turbo V6 F150 for overlanding and I am looking forward to perusing the forums and getting all the advice I can get from experienced campers. We live in the PNW but want to travel all across the country.

Hope to see you all out there
