Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Welcome!

 

[Western]

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.

Hello All
I have 4WD experience more than 30 years ago in a Chevy Blazer with my family growing up, but I am really a Ford enthusiast (learned to drive in a Mustang in the 70's). Don't have a rig now but a Ford Bronco is reserved so it will be a handful of months yet . . . just getting an early start here, LOL!
I live fulltime in Placentia, CA (Orange County) but spend a lot of time in Lake Arrowhead CA as well.
Looking forward to this renewed passion unfolding, and happy to be a member as I learn more about today's world of overland adventure.

Hello everyone,
Complete newb, wanting to get started.
I have a '15 Power Wagon that I'm wanting to build out.
I'm in NW Ohio, I've already found that there isn't much for overlanding in Ohio, other than some back roads in southern Ohio. Nice to learn of opportunities in nearby states tho.

Hey all! So, Overlanding. Long story short, I'm not an overlander or anything near it yet. Currently driving a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD, and located in the FT. Drum, NY area. Active duty soldier, outdoor lover, my outdoor experience is backpacking, camping, a little army survival stuff. Overlanding is something I really want to get into, and my wife and I are already looking at Rubicon's so we can get off on a good solid foot.

Hello and welcome to Overland Bound.
“For Strength and Honor”. Former Spartan here.
Lots of places to explore up there in the Andriondacks. I spent the majority of my 15 years stationed at Drum; lived an hour away up in Gouvernour. Spent all my spare time exploring either the St Lawrence River, or the Andriondack mountains from Black River to St. George. Some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever had the chance of visiting... winter time I got in with some local mushers to explore...
