Not the most experienced overlander yet, but I've gone a few times with no issues! I always make sure I'm prepared for wherever I'm going. Definitely look forward to doing so more often too! Currently using my '95 Chevy C1500, but working on fixing up my original rig, a '99 Ford Explorer and using that again! Definitely was nice to have the closed in cab, but let me tell ya, closing in the bed of the truck with a mesh tarp for the bugs and all but still being able to stare up at the stars, so amazing...! I'm located out in Florida but do travel a lil' outward for some camping spots!

Good Afternoon. New member from the Bay Area, CA. Dedicated truck is my 17 Tacoma and I try to wheel/camp 2-3 times a month. I spend most of my time in the High Sierras/northern California but recently caught the sandbug from a few trips during the winter.

Hey Everyone

I've decided not to sell my 4Runner, and instead keep it for the long haul and double down in realizing the overlanding dream. Look forward to learning from you all!

Howdy!

Just joined today. Been an avid overlander for years. I do lots of kayak fishing on fresh water lakes in my region, and camp in my RTT on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hardrock. Look forward to checking out the site and chatting with people.

Cheers,

Scott
