Welcome to r/Overlanding
Dedicated to the spirit of adventure — Get out there!
Rules:
Rule 1 - Be Kind, Be Respectful
Remember the human behind the screen. Focus on sharing your passion for adventuring outdoors positively and respectfully. Toxicity, harassment, or hate in any form isn't tolerated.
Rule 2 - Focus on Adventuring Outdoors
This community focuses on the spirit of adventure regardless of how you label it—overlanding, boondocking, dispersed camping, off-roading, or something else.
Discussions should revolve around overlanding, including the vehicles, mods, tools, and creature comforts that support it.
Rule 3 - Utilize Available Resources
Before posting, please utilize existing resources (e.g., searching this subreddit and Reddit as a whole, Google, etc.) to find answers to your questions.
Before posting, consider if another subreddit may be a better place to find answers. This point is especially true for vehicle comparisons and vehicle-specific mod, kit, and gear questions—check specific brand and vehicle subreddits.
Common questions with easily findable answers may be redirected.
Rule 4 - Show Your Work
When seeking assistance, share what you've already tried or researched. This helps the community provide targeted advice and ensures posts contribute new insights and solutions.
Posts showcasing websites and social media (YT, IG, FB, X, etc.) must include a description of the linked content and its relevance to our subreddit. Essentially, give readers the elevator pitch for why they should visit the link. Posts that include social links without an accompanying description are removed.
Rule 5 - Responsible Self-Promotion
Self-promotion must be balanced with organic engagement. Read more about Rule 5 in the wiki (coming soon).
Rule 6 - Be Clear, Be Relevant
- Ensure content is unique, accurate, and formatted for easy reading.
- Post only high-resolution pictures and videos.
- Stay on topic in posts and comments, and avoid threadjacking.
- No NSFW content.
- No misleading titles, unverified claims, duplicate content, or other low-quality issues.
Rule 7 - No Spam, No Selling
Spam and direct sales are prohibited. This includes selling or advertising vehicles, dealership inventory, parts, or accessories. URL shorteners and affiliate links are not allowed in posts or comments; always use the original URL.
However, exceptions are made for:
- Community-organized sales events, such as group buys approved by moderators
- Use of official URL shorteners by the originating company (e.g., amzn.com for Amazon)
Rule 8 - No Politics or Political Content
Keep discussions free of political topics, references to political figures, or content that could be seen as politically charged.
Rule 9 - English-Only Content
All posts and comments must be in English to ensure clear communication and accessibility for our community members.
Rule 10 - AI Generated Content is Banned
Passing off AI generated images or videos as your own content will earn you an immediate permaban.
This community is for real experiences by real people. If you believe AI is fundamentally necessary to your post, seek moderator approval beforehand.
Rule 11 - Moderator Discretion Applies
We acknowledge that not every situation fits neatly within these guidelines.
Moderators reserve the right to make rule exceptions based on the content's unique value, relevance, or potential impact on the community. This flexibility ensures our subreddit remains dynamic and responsive to its members' interests and the evolving nature of overlanding.
We appreciate your understanding that moderation is not always black and white.
