Since one of the goals is to travel in a self reliant manner, Overlanders tend to equip their vehicles for many scenarios including some worst case ones. This is good. Being prepared is important and should not be underestimated. Being prepared makes the difference not only between enjoying a journey or not, but it can make the difference between life and death at times.

But even the most prepared and the most self reliant at times need help. What happens then? We turn to the resources available to us to find the nearest, best help available. Except that as I recently found out, those resources are practically non-existent. 

That is the purpose of what we are building here. A resource, easily available to anyone, so you can easily find the information you need based on your circumstances.
