Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[San_Diego_Overlanding]

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.

As a new member, I'd like to introduce myself. Im Heath I/We are new to the overlanding community. We are basically beginning novice entry level very much interested in what this community is all about. I/we like the desert and the mountains. We're going to start off educating ourselves with the knowledge of others, so that's why we're here.

Welcome!

Hello everybody, I am new to the group. I live in South Carolina and looking to get back into overlanding again. Grew up on the West Coast and lived in Alaska for a few years where I spent a lot of time overlanding in my '76 Blazer. Beginning the process of getting back into overlanding and outfitting my Ram 1500. Have a couple friends I have made since moving to SC that are into overlanding and camping. Thanks for letting me into the forum!
