How are y’all doing??!!! I know I sound a bit over excited but who cares! I am new to this, 4 weeks only, and already spent half my savings on building a rig and driving across the empty quarter in Saudi Arabia!! It was all about the deep seas for me before, but now I found out there is as much dopamine on terra firma!!

Rig: 2021 Gladiator
Location: Riyadh Saudi Arabia
Good to know about me: certified master diver (which means I am EFR certified), I travel a lot (I know how to pack light), married with two wonderful girls (meaning in need to escape reality very often).

My name is Hani, but my kids and their friends call me Bob Kabob, feel free to call me anything as long as your intentions are good ;)

Welcome Hani,
Would be fantastic to try to meet up in Jordan for some overlanding. I have three young boys so we can also plan a family trip.

Let’s do that!!! I have a friend from Jordan who keeps telling about wadi Rum and the dunes there. I’m game man, let’s start planning!!

Bob Kabob,
Welcome to the site brother! Throw up a few pictures of your rig and some of you diving. I’ve done a little scuba diving myself and I am a retired paramedic here in Colorado, USA.

This group is awesome, so many people with common grounds.
Bob Kabob, welcome, I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of your adventures. Maybe one day our paths will cross in the open water haha. I have my Public Safety Rescue Diver Cert, but the diving we do is in nasty waters. I did get to go diving in Belize and Cayman Islands on vacation once, sooooo much nicer than the black waters of my area looking for bodies.

Mr. Wright, TYFYS :-D One of my co-workers was a Coloradoian, left us here in Virginia to go back to be a Paramedic there. I'm a current Paramedic in Virginia, assigned to the suppression division now but still get detailed to the medic units frequently. Luckily Ive been on the fire side all week and caught 2 structure fires this tour.

I went to school at CSU Ft. Collins in the late 90’s, right before the flood. I’m new to this platform so I’ll give the pics a try and see what happens. I’ll need to dig into my drives for diving photos. These are all from my last trip to the EQ. Out in the middle of no where and at night some guy drives up to us to offer us canoe milk (pic of me with blue jug).

Those are great pictures. Check out the "ShiftPod3." It is an awesome tent and I really think you will love it.
