New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator
  • Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
  • We will not further define "overlanding".
  • "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
  • You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
  • Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
  • Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
  • Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
  • It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
  • We do not care about make or model.
  • We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
  • We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
  • Humility.
  • We respect, fear, and protect nature.
  • "I don't know" is a great answer.
  • We don’t brag about exploits.
  • We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
  • We engage in the very smallest of interactions

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jeff. I joined this forum because I love everything about overlanding. The adventure, the rig build, the ability to go and do/see things most people can't, etc.

I'm a Navy Veteran living out in Glendale, AZ. I currently don't have a rig other than my wife's 05 KJ. I do plan to acquire a Taco someday.

I hope to be able to meet some fellow overlanders and get some adventuring experience under my belt with you all.

Thanks!

Glad to be a new member. I've camped and driven off road in a long series of 4x4's and motorcycles over the last 60 years, but no real overland type trips. Looking forward to longer more interesting of road journeys. Seven years in the South West deserts but all the rest of my camping trips in the North East.

Hey folks! Long time follower on instagram and website and just finally joined up as a member :)
We're Mike and Agustina from Toronto, Canada. This is our second year overlanding as we got our truck late 2015, but have been camping and portaging most of our lives.

Truck is a 2016 GMC Canyon, currently it has offroad rack, Tepui RTT, SuperSkidz plates all along the bottom and Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires. Many additions to come as we build up our rig.

We both think what you do here is amazing and the culture of getting out there and exploring regardless what you have is exactly what we believe in. The point is adventure and fun!

Look forward to many adventures with you all :)
