Welcome to Overland Bound @Scott Loeser! The PNW has a great deal to offer to anyone interested in overlanding, and Seattle is a perfect launching point for a lot of it. Plus, the Overland Bound community up here is incredible!

I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your “neighbors”. In fact, there is an event occurring this coming Saturday at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle [link]. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.


I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Thanks Jedi!! I really appreciate the response. I was out of town this past weekend but otherwise I would have been there. Thanks for the links too. I'm really excited to be a part of this group.

Long time lurker, Figured it was time to post up and introduce myself.
I'm Gared Findley, From Hinton Oklahoma. Been offroading most of my life, but overlanding has taken over in the last few years. Each year the equipment, knowledge, and adventures evolve and I cant wait to see what this year will bring. I have met a few of you out and about on the trail, but I'm always open to meeting new people and sharing knowledge and even helping wrench on some rigs.

Currently using a 2014 Jeep JKU Rubicon wrangler. Custom built trailer I built.

You can find me on facebook as well as youtube, hope to see some of you out on the trail!

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.

Good day everyone!
I've been following a bunch of all things overlanding on Youtube and Instagram and i thought it was time I join myself.
I'm Alex
Location - Colorado
Rig - 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR
Experience - I've always enjoyed the outdoors, from Snowboarding to hiking to camping and fishing, even in my little VW GTI, but since I got this new vehicle, I can actually get to areas that my little car couldn't get me to. Looking forward to meeting people that share the same passion for the outdoors and inspire my truck build!

Hello everyone! My name is josh from Santa Barbara, ca. I'm new to the group but not new to overlanding. Been doing it in one form or another my whole life. My father was an avid hunter and we were always on the go hunting/camping/daytripping during weekends and any time we had the chance.

My wife and I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma trd sport 4x4 that I've had since new and been using it as often as we can. Usually camping, fishing, exploring and surfing.

I'm excited to be on here and always looking for advice and recommendations. Thanks for letting me join!
