Hi everyone I’m Ric looking to make 2021 a year of Florida Overland Exploration

3) I’ve been over landing with military for 15 years. Love being self sufficient and in the wilderness. With this new truck, my wife is looking to join the fun. Would love some ideas for initial investments for this rig.

Also, this community is awesome!

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.

Overland Experience: Complete Novice
Why Overlanding?: We've been looking for more ways to get out into nature, and this is a natural progression from car camping. Keeping it very simple for now as we build up trust in our vehicle and our abilities.

 

[Origin_nate]

Hi, I'm Nathan!

I'm in the south MS area (which is unfortunately very far from most overlanders ).

My rig is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, pretty much bone stock still.

I'm definitely a novice off-roader/overlander. I've got one trip under the belt with the Jeep, though a few years back I camped and rock climbed my way through college so there's some experience there.

Looking forward to more adventures!

Hello All,
I'm new to the forums. I've been watching the OB YouTube channel for awhile and finally took the step to join. I really want to get more into this, and want to get the family enthused about it as well.
1) No picture of it yet. It's pretty basic.
2) Sonora, CA area.
3) 2017 RAM 2500 MegaCab 4x4 with Offroad Package, and ARE "Overland" series camper (reinforced). The only thing I've done is put slightly more aggressive tires on it for snow season.
4) Pretty much a novice! We've "car camped"a couple of times with Cub Scouts, and I slept in the back of my truck in the Nevada desert on a photography outing a couple of years ago, but that's it. I want to learn a lot more and get the family out and about. We live in a great area for it too...not just where we are, but how easy it is to access other areas.

Hey everyone!

Chris here, I’m the proud owner of a new (to me) FJ Cruiser. I’ve been camping for years as well as rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, skiing and biking. I’m hoping to add overlanding to that list!

My rig is fully stock and I’m looking forward to tastefully modify it as I grow into the world of overlanding - and find ways to combine my other outdoor hobbies with it.

1. 2008 FJ Cruiser, 6MT
2. Midwest (Iowa)
