Professional Off-Highway Education
We provide off-highway driving and recovery skills with communication, leadership, navigation, and survival integrated throughout. We employ best practices from thousands of hours of field experience, hundreds of hours of professional training, Tread Lightly! and Stay The Trail, and from the overhead lifting and towing industries.
Consultation
If you have questions about vehicle outfitting, recovery tools and techniques, best practices, trail navigation, back country safety and preparation, or simply where to go given your skill level, vehicle configuration, and environmental conditions, we can provide you with advice grounded in experience and best practice.
We have experience with a variety of vehicles including overlanding vans.
Training & Education
We provide a variety of training and learning environments including private consults, 2+ hour clinics, and half-day or full day field experiences. These can be skill or tool specific or cover a diverse set of skills and tools. See our schedule for some of the courses offered, or contact us for a special request. We love working with clubs, private groups, teams, and professional organizations and can reserve a day for private instruction.
Trail Guide
If you are new to the area or would like advice, assistance planning an overland trip, or a curated tour of a trail or trail system, we have 35+ years of experience in the Colorado back country and can help with trip planning, recommendations, cautionary tales, and trail guiding.
