I could use a hand...

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jack. I'm a college student at Georgia Southern University. For my English course we have been charged with writing an ethnography, which is the study of people within their own cultures. Instead of doing something lame, like "frat" culture, or football culture, I chose to write about the culture of "modern day explorers." It has been very interesting to me. I originally chose to write about cave diving and ocean sailing, but I think I would like to add in overland as well. So, I am in need of an interview or two from some seasoned over landers. I drive a 100 series Landcruiser and love it, so I'm not a complete outsider to the community.

Would anyone be interested in doing a short 20-ish question interview for my research? If so, leave me a message on the thread and I will post my questions and email address so I can add you in.

Please remember, I really need someone that has had a lot of experience in the over-landing "culture" to make my research valid. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

GREAT idea! I am a total ExPo poser, but I hope some of the more note worthy, trail cred crowd will jump in. Keep us posted as to the questions and answers you get - really cool idea!

I am in. I'm not a extreme expo'r but I do know a few things here and there.

Would be glad to help. You can PM if you are interested. Sounds like it could be an interesting worthwhile project.

Would be amazing if you could someone like Tom Shepherd to help you. I bet someone here on ExPo could make inquiries - I bet your project would make a really cool story for Overland Journal .
