Hey everyone!
I’m Jake, I live in the metro Detroit area. I would say I have moderate experience overlanding, I love camping and hitting trails in northern Michigan. I drive a 2013 Nissan Xterra, with a 2” bilstein 5100 lift, 33” BFG Ko2. I’m really excited to join the community and learn from everyone on OB!

Hi everyone, I'm Matt in Placerville CA. I was getting in tough situations on roads accessing backpacking trail heads, so I bought an Off Road trimeline Tacoma nearly two years ago. Since then, I've given it pin strips, some good dings, and a broken window. Now I bring a chain saw on those kinds of runs. My first day off road (light trails near Morman Emmigrant Trail) I had to pull out a stuck rig! Bought my own recovery gear the next day. Looking to partner up with others for support on trips. Hoping to meet up with the Sierra group that meets in Folsom.

Well, I would like to start by introducing myself. Some folks call me Donald, others call me Ryan. It really doesn't matter as long as you don't call me, late for dinner. Ha ha... Ha, yeah, sorry. I'm relatively new to overlanding. I acquired a bone stock 96 f150 XLT 4WD from my father. It has a brand new 302 that's been bored and stroked to a 347. I also built a wooden platform and drawer system in the bed. She's also got a hard top camper shell. Other than that everything on the truck is 26 years old. I've been on a few rides and camping/fly fishing trips, now I have the bug. I live in Brevard, NC and I'm planning on outfitting the truck over the next several months. I can't wait to connect and be a part of this group. Happy Adventures!

Hey everyone! Been watching on YouTube, didn’t realize how in depth this site was, but impressed and glad I’m here now! I am a noob to “overlanding” but not to basic vehicle camping. I am here to try to learn as much as I can especially about navigation off road. I have a month off (first time ever) and will be in Colorado, and Utah at end of May/most of June to try this in more remote areas. I have a completely stock 2018 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited. I have quality camping gear too. What I lack other than remote off road driving/navigation is proper storage and organization for my gear. I wish I had a rack, but I don’t! Whatever. I have a mattress and can sleep in Jeep and also have a 1 man ultra lite tent that I’ve used bikepacking (and at some music festival ⚡). Looking forward to learning from you and hopefully meeting up with like minded souls! WALSTIB ✌
