Hey All,
I'm a Newb to the overland game. My Subi FXT has mostly seen fire roads on the way to hiking, but also some sand at local beaches, and snow play in the Sierra Nevada foothills. But living on the North Coast of CA means adventure on all sides! I'm just learning to outfit, scour forums and Youtube and use the rig for more than just getting me to my next hike. Looking forward to sharing with all you all!

My wife, Susan our dog, Katja and me, Robert went to Overland East in October. She fell in love with it and as a Plein Aire/ Landscape artist she launched her overlanding website/blog. We can't wait until Spring to get back on the trail. Here is some of her work from our overlanding trips and a link to her site

www.overlandartist.com.

Hi Gang,
I'm Charlie, but my friends call me Tig. I'm a professional photographer in Durango, Colorado. I've been camping my whole life, and have been overlanding a few times in friends' rigs so I'm excited to start building my own and getting active in the community. Currently, I own a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring. I've just ordered new wheels and will be lifting her in August (when my warranty is up).

Name: Tig
Location: Southwest Colorado
Rig: 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring
Experience: Minimal

Hello all, my name is Andrew moved to Eugene OR from Hawaii a little over a year ago. Have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Off-road, definitely a novice to overlanding and looking forward meeting some folks to do some exploring.

Hello everyone. New to Overland Bound but not offroading. Earned a few dents and lots of pin strips on my 2014 Tundra in the last few years. In Livermore, CA.

Goal this year is to go on at least 1 trip a month

View attachment 136324View attachment 136325
Nice rig and great photos! I am in Livermore as well. Second Sunday’s we meet in Pleasanton. We are headed to Prewitt Ridge at the end of the month and The Lost Coast on President's Day weekend.

Hello all . Just happened to stumble across this site when researching GX470s. I have owned several Toyotas 22REs before the Tacomas, 4Runner, and a Tacoma. I am in the market for a new rig and was looking at V8 4Runners until a GX470 caught my eye. After doing much research and looking at total cost to make it what I want before I make a purchase I have been reading all I can on here.

I currently live in Maine.
Navy Vet
Made and raised in MO

Love everything outdoors and soon to be an overlander. I dont have the rig yet but have hundreds of remote ponds and Brooks I look forward to taking my family to on the weekends.

Hey All,

Second introduction because I think I accidentally deleted the first one. Whoops.

Name is Travis, I’ve been doing what I have now learned is called “Overlanding” for many years now. Cruising the old forestry roads of southern BC looking for that great new place place to camp and hitting every hot spring along the way. I’ve been known to travel ridiculous distances to soak in natural springs.

I do this with my 8 year old copilot who loves getting out and discovering new places just as much as me. It’s definitely in his blood. We have always tented up until now just because that’s what we liked to do. Now I’m at the point in my life where I want something with hard sides and off the ground to sleep in, so I’m having a trailer built by OffGrid Trailers in Canada. Have decided on the Expedition 2.0

I decided to go with the tow behind because I need the box of my truck for other parts of my life. Hunting, hauling firewood, ATV etc. The Expedition 2.0 seemed like the solution for me.

We are planning to do a two week tour through Idaho this year because we aren’t far from the border and I just love Idaho in general. Looking at the backcountry discover route from the Canadian border down to Nevada.

Seems like a great group here and I’m looking forward to picking up some Idaho info and am always willing to offer whatever assistance I can to anybody looking into my neck of the woods.

Cheers.

Hello all you guys and gals in Overland land.

I am Brian from Auburn, Ca and I am a beginning overlandahhh!

For me it all started when I built a bed box in the back of my 2003 Suburban for an extended camping trip. A friend of mine asked if I was into overlanding and I said "what is overlanding?" I started looking into it and the rest has been a wonderful and educational (humbling) experience.

Looking for people and events in my area and to gain a bit more knowledge along the way.
Welcome to OB! I used to regularly kayak the North Fork from Colfax --> Yankee Jim's regularly. I loved it & miss it dearly. We started out inner tubing it! (Although we couldn't go before the 4th of July as it was way too ragin'!) Ever explore that area? Like I said, I miss it very much...

I am EXTREMELY jealous of your trailer acquisition! You MUST post tons of info/pics/options selected so that I can live vicariously through your posts!!!!! (:-D)

Welcome!

Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area.
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for events and other people around you. Super helpful.
-Our region also has a FB page.

The NW Overland Rally is in June in Plain, WA. Should be a blast!
