Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[DSynger]

Hello all,
My wife and I are currently located in Tacoma, Wa, but will be making our way back to the Midwest in the near future. I'm very much looking to getting to know some fellow overlanders.

 

[Jedi]

Welcome @DSynger and wife! I'm glad to have you joining us in the PNW and sorry to hear that you are planning on leaving this Eden behind.

While you are here with us, there are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your “neighbors”. One that I know of and is close by is coming up, the Christmas Tree Run, on December 9th [link]. Even if you can't make that one, events are frequently posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.

Could someone please explain how you access the calendar ad map as a member??? This has to be the most difficult forum I have ever been in.

Was this taken care of for you?

Morning Everyone,

I've been a member on OB for about a year but starting to get more involved. My fiance saw me reading through the site and learning, so she surprised me and bought the membership. i'm #15491

Name: John Ronquillo
Location: Rockland NY
Vehicle: 2002 Yukon XL

I've had a lot of experience out doors, grew up as a scout & have done a lot of dispersed primitive camping with friends, within the past few years i've been adding the overland aspect with my family, it's a great way to experience the out doors & see different things. It's also my excuse to get my daughter out in the world and see there's so much more than the area we live in.

Thanks guys, hope to get to know & meet up with some in the future.

Welcome to OB and the East Region from a fellow NY'er! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me a message!

Hey everyone,

I’m Redbeard but feel free to call me Red. I’m from Milwaukee Wisconsin. I don’t have an off road vehicle but plan to get a 4Runner next year. I’ve been looking at getting one and doing an overland build for almost a year now. I think I have a pretty good idea of the direction I want to take with my build but I’m sure that will change a bit as I start to build. My main issue is getting the work on my vehicle done. I will install what I can but somethings are out of my area of expertise. I don’t know of any places that could tackle my build with me. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You should like your trailer, one of our guys had one during our Death Valley trip. That trail went everywhere, it really was awesome!

Howdy from Rockland, New York.
Age 21
Currently in school
Still learning how to navigate and use the site.
OBM#14731
Vehicle: 15 Ford F150 (sadly bone stock atm) working on it!
Experience: minimal to none with overlanding but the outdoors is something I’ve always been drawn to. (Self taught Acrobatic and Advocate for all things “Movement” )

Why am I getting into overlanding?
I wanna live. I want to break out of the herd of my age- I never fit anyways. I want to build a healthy and productive foundation/habits for myself and my family. Theres so much to see and experience with nature and it’s a place which I find grounding, informative and refreshing!

Looks like a great bunch and excited to learn and get going!

 

[Rubiconcruiser]

Thanks for the add. Badge #/4884, I’m not new to the group, but have moved across the country from S Kalifornia to Southern Georgia where I may find additional trails to conquer. My name is Rubiconcruiser, garnered from my 77 Toyota FJ40 bought new in 1976: driven up to and thru the Rubicon Trail many times. I also power a 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon, fantastic vehicle. My business consists of trailer building design, and outfitting, if you build your own and have questions. Please ask.

I get mine in August and I can't wait. It should be loads of fun.

[whiskey7backroads]

Greetings from Washington state. I've been a fan of the Overland Bound videos for awhile but dragged my heels joining the org. I'm driving a new(ish) Chevy Colorado ZR2 but have been exploring, camping, and fishing the pacific northwest for many years from all kinds of vehicles.

I look forward to meeting folks on the forum and in the 'outdoors'. If you see me out there feel free to give me a call on 146.520 (N7PHY).

Do you listen on any repeaters that make it to Oly? Echolink maybe? Brent KJ7BHN
