Hey everyone! So glad I came across OB, I’ve been following Michael on Instagram for a while now not realizing this is a whole thing!

Anyway, i’ve been rock crawling Jeep’s since 2014 when I was stationed in WA, now I’m transitioning to the longer treks and the more relaxing experiences of overland. I look forward to meeting and sharing experiences with everyone and hope to see y’all on the trail!

Hello everyone.

I am Mike.

View attachment 182446

I drive truck for a living, and waste my money on Hunting, Fishing, Camping gear, and buying my wife NEW 4Runners.

I have a lifted 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport w/ winch and front bumper, a Back Rack and a Decked Draw system.

I grew up in the Northern sections of the Western Provinces, NT and the Yukon.

Outdoors and camping was and has always been a lifestyle and not a hobby, so I have a fair amount of bush experience.

My rigging, winch and recovery experience is from Oil Field work as a driver operating Winch tractors and bed trucks( single steer and Tandem steer axles) and lumping for boom trucks and Cranes.

I am also a licensed Amateur radio Operator with my Basic, Advanced Licenses, and 5 word Code. I also hold Licenses in the Maritime and Aeronautical radio Service. I normally have my VHF/UHF and HF radios in my transport truck and Hang around on 14.300Mhz on HF, but currently my boss has me driving Demo trucks for the next few months so nothing installed right now.
Hello Mike, welcome to the OB community. That's quite a resume.

Hello, My name is Christopher. I'm not completely new to Overlanding but I am new to overland Bound and I'm happy to be here. I have been thinking of joining for a couple of years now but just never did until recently. I have a 2012 JK 2 door based out of Northern California. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I did our first desert run and completed the Mojave road. It was an amazing trip!
