Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[flowe_runner]

Hey guys! Glad to be a new member here! The name is Fortune, I live in Chamblee Georgia and I drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma! Just stepped out of my modified 1988 4runner and prior to that I drove a 1992 TLC 80 series. I’m always modifying and tinkering with older vehicles but finally broke down and decided to get something newer! I would say I’m an Amateur overlander looking to continue learning all I can! Look forward to getting to know everyone here!

I'm looking forward to being an active member is the community.

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.

Hi there. I’m new to the forum but I’ve been camping in the outdoors for decades. I live in Angelus Oaks. It’s a small town on highway 38, back way to Big Bear. I’ve always been a Toyota guy. My current project is a 96 LX450. I also have a 14 Tundra. Looking forward to meeting local folk who share the passion of the great outdoors.

Go to hell, Wawa.... lol

@Advencher There's not a lot in Mass, but NH and VT have loads of opportunities to get off pavement and work on your trail skills. And are a short drive away.

@Chris Jones Thanks! That makes good sense. I grew up in Vermont, so always a good excuse to get back there :) I'm seeing lots of mentions of the Puppy Dog route? Any suggestions would be awesome.

 

[loon]

Hey everyone! Loon here, and I'm from Minnesota. No picture of my rig yet as I'm still trying to figure out what to buy. I started thinking I wanted a jeep wrangler, but then decided a pickup is more suitable for my needs and was looking into the Tacoma. Those darn Tacos are so dang expensive though, so now I'm looking into 4x4 ranger which looks like it can be had for 1/3 the price. Not 100% sure what I'll end up with, but I am excited to be a part of this group and learn.

Hello Kent,
