Straight forward blood tests will tell you where you are at. Get a test, get your answer.
I would hazard a guess that significant outdoor exposure would be enough, but I am not a doctor in any sense.

You will find a max of 1000 IU and many supplements at daily doses way lower than that (300 - 700 IU). This is likely wrong: "Since all-disease mortality is reduced to 1.0 with serum vitamin D levels ≥100 nmol/L, we call public health authorities to consider designating as the RDA at least three-fourths of the levels proposed by the Endocrine Society Expert Committee as safe upper tolerable daily intake doses. This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereafter. Actions are urgently needed to protect the global population from vitamin D deficiency."
