Introduction area for new member

[jons4real]

I think it would be good for a new member to have an area dedicated to introducing themselves.

I also agree with this. A place where new people can introduce them selfs and we could welcome them aboard. Its a great way to break the ice so to speak and maybe even make better friends.

just to chime in, that was the first thing I looked for, so I agree, it would be a nice idea.

I do like this idea. I noticed many threads recently in the general talk area with people introducing themselves. It is great to welcome someone new aboard, I feel that thread would benefit the community.

I'm a long time hiker, backpacker, and hunter. I'm also a NYS licensed outdoor guide, but I don't use my license for profit. I lead hikes just for the fun of it and to keep introducing new people to the great outdoor opportunities in western New York.

I use to be a "big vacation" backpacker - everywhere from Alaska to Louisiana, but now I prefer getting out for hikes or shorter backpacking trips every weekend closer to home. I spend more time on the trail and less hassles getting there.

I've been backpacking as an adult since the early 1970's, but in the last 5 years I learned of two things that have greatly increased my enjoyment on the trail - kilts and hammocks. Wish I had known of them 40 years ago.
