My 17 Tacoma, I'm from a town in the northern panhandle of West Virginia called Wellsburg. Just starting to get into the overlanding and camping scene. Looking forward to learning from everyone and possibly meeting a few of you.
Welcome to Overland Bound. I'm up in the Youngstown area. My family is originally (1800's) from the Wellsburg-Short Creek-Stubenville locations.

I'm sure we will see each other out on the trails as there are quite a few events through the year in this area...

Hey yall,

I am new to the group and looking to get out and make memories while adventuring all over.
I just picked up a 2002 Excursion that I will be building out for my overland rig.
I have camped all my life but the idea of over landing is fairly new.

Welcome to Overland Bound. Love the rig and I'm certainly a fan of full size overlanding. Looking forward to the build out...

Hi from BC, Canada. Just bought an old Disco 1 for cheap. Having fun repairing and completely servicing it myself. Learning as I go.

Suspension upgrades are up next and a nice big roof rack. Hope to be able to camp remotely in it very soon.

Wish me luck!
Welcome to Overland Bound. Good luck with the build and enjoy the adventure...

Hi all! Excited to find this community!

Location - Albuquerque, NM
Rig - 2011 Kia Sorento AWD (no mods, just a roof top carrier and hitch basket). Nothing fancy, but gets us where we want to go.
Overlanding Experience - still would say a novice. We started car camping in 2017 with our then 4 year old. Started with developed campgrounds in National/State parks. Made some friends who opened us up to the world of dispersed camping, and we mostly do that now. Trips are now almost exclusively camping off forest roads in National Forests or on BLM land.

Hello Kris. Welcome to the OB community. Good looking Excursion. I'm partial to full size rigs since I drive a 3/4 ton Silverado.
