WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
General description of On the Road...
These 2-day training events are geared toward beginner to moderate skill levels,
but experienced skill levels will also learn more than they thought possible as
well as increase awareness. Emphasis is on safety. Courses include vehicle
preparation, negotiating the terrain, picking a proper line, map and compass,
recovery techniques using Hi-Lift jack, winch, and other tools, vehicle
preparation and back country awareness. Included is both theory and
hands-on driving techniques. Many handouts are included.
Courses are extremely comprehensive learning environments, with hands-on
demonstrations and opportunities taking place on the trails. Tips and tricks for
negotiating the terrain will be blended with discussions, challenges and
obstacles to teach owners about their vehicle's capabilities.
You will learn:
●how to be more prepared (vehicle/personal) when going on the trail
●how to negotiate the rough terrain
●how to do a quick field fix when something on your truck breaks
●how to pick a proper line and how to spot another driver
●basic and advanced recovery techniques
●suggestions for modifying your truck and much, much more.
Instruction by Bill Burke will get you there and back safely, answer your 4-wheeling
questions, show you the correct way to drive and recover using environmentally-
friendly procedures, and give you historical anecdotes of the area.
Please contact me immediately for consideration.
