@Michael Is this something that @Chris Jones / I, or another MOD could have done or just behind the seen stuff ? Thanks Dude.....

It's a behind the scene thing.

It's a behind the scene thing.

That's what I thought, curious.

Sorry for the hassle! thanks for doing this!

No hassle in any way, We are all (including you) just working together to make it all move smoothly, either here or on the road.
See you out there !!!!!

I'm Trying to complete the badges in OB Ambassador. The next set of badges require Boot Camp approval. Looking through the threads, it looks like the last review/approvals was at least a year ago. I recognize @Michael is very busy, and appreciate everything that he does. Is this a task that could be entrusted to others in the leadership team. It just seams that a year is a long time between reviews/approvals.

Including submissions in "Contribute an article" to Overland Bootcamp? I was under the impression that only Michael, approved articles to be moved to Overland Bound Boot Camp (tagged with OB Approved). Is this not accurate?

The boot camp articles had been approved by Michael only up to this point. We are discussing this currently and may have a solution to get the boot camp approval process to be a little more sustainable now that Michael is outrageously busy.

 

[Michael]

Thank you guys!

Yes! I have relatively few requirements, though they the quality needs to be high.

1. Accurate and well researched
2. Explain with images when possible
3. On topic and succinct though thorough

That's about it, but yes, requires time and a bit of iteration!

 

[Michael]

No

this one was a global setting. Pretty deep.

Could you look over my submissions, and see if they pass muster. I'm happy to: enhance, edit, modify as required.

I did! They are very good! What is the source for the "Safe Encounters" series? Might be good to include it to be safe. The Lions, Wolves, and Bears articles would roll up nicely into an article for the main site!

I'm adding reptiles next. Much of the information is from the NULS documentation. This is also used by the National Forest and Park service. NOLS helped rewrite Leave No Trace, to be compatible with current thinking. I have most of their library. Good source of information, for anyone interested in outdoor activities.

OK.. I have been thinking about this some more. Instead of separate badges , why not have rockers to go around the member badge?

This idea is amazing we need to send this up the flagpole !

IPA?

What does IPA stand for ? Welcome to Overland Bound .

Indian Pale Ale. Awesome style of beer.

I already cracked that joke on page 8. Let's just blame the time zones for the delay. Ha ha ha

Thats a lot and now your wondering who will all confirm that stuff? Well it's something for the future. But once there is a App with GPS tracking it will be a lot easyer. Also taking Pictures and sharing them helps.

It's late and im tiered but I will extend the List later.

Greetings and thanks for the awesome Community!
