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.

Welcome to the group, Always great to see more full size rigs.Hi everyone, my name is Andreas Schultz, and I just became a member.
Rig: 2002 Ford F250 Crewcab, short-bed , 4 x 4 with a 7.3 l turbo diesel
I bought the truck (my first truck) only a couple of years ago to tow our newly-acquired boat. Now that we have it, let's use it to explore the world. My off-roading and overlanding experience is limited to a couple of trips to Hollister Hills, but I hope to learn what it takes to go off the beaten path. I also do a lot of road cycling and mountain biking. My wife and two small (5 and 7) kids will accompany me on these adventures.
You don't have to add yourself to the map, once you purchase your membership and post to this thread, https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/have-an-ob-emblem-upgrade-your-account.2029/page-79#post-80066 you just have to wait till @Michael or @Corrie have the time to upgrade your account and then it will add you automatically based on your profile location. Hope this helps.Hello, I'm Carlos Montanez (montyPR).

Look forwarding to exploring, meeting new folks and just being part of a community that like to share and have fun. If you are in my area, feel free to drop by and have a cold one. All are welcomed!
By the way, I tried to add my location on the map and received this message "

Hello Eugene! I'm fairly new to the group myself, but since I'm in Alaska I figure we're almost neighbors! As to your map place showing as red, that is what you see when are viewing the map from your log in page, the rest of us will see you as yellow. It's the same for me, when I'm logged in, I see myself on the map as red but I see you as yellow. To "upgrade" your account, go to your "profile" and scroll down on the left side the the "Upgrade Account" button. This will give you the option of upgrading to a fee based monthly subscription if you like. I do not believe this upgrade is something you have to do. Hope this helps!Looks like I get to be first from Russia!
Location: Krasnodar, Russia
Rig: 1999, Toyota Prado 95
Experience: Mediocre..)
Sorry i ask here...

There are a few options for a large family it just depends on your budget and how difficult the trails you want to run are.Hey everyone, I'm brand new to Overlanding. Currently living in Colorado and love camping skiing and all outdoor activities. I've pushed the family minivan beyond its limits so I'm looking for a rig to build on. I'd love any insights the community has for a good one to start with for a larger family (I have 4 kids ages 2 -12) Thanks!
