4x4 Courses and Training

[sjp]

With Christmas right around the corner, I know what you're all thinking: What can I get sjp?

Problem solved! A gift card from On Trail Training is just the ticket to fill my holiday stocking

Looks like they have both public and private classes in driving skills, recovery, and vehicle prep and repair.

Seriously though, I do plan on taking these courses. I've done a lot of backroad driving in Colorado (a LOT), but I wouldn't feel comfortable tackling the more difficult trails without some training and experience.

If enough of us get our Broncos around the same time next year, may want to consider a private group class next fall. For the married folks out there, would also be a good class for the better half.

Maybe they are. I haven't heard.

This place is in Colorado and has a permit for the Pike-San Isabel National Forest (aka "my neck of the woods" - I can literally see it out my window) and I like the idea of learning on local trails. If public land on-trail driving guide permits are as tough to come by as public land hiking and climbing guide permits, they may be one of the few Colorado Front Range services offering this kind of training.

However, I would not be surprised if this industry explodes next year.

I'm pretty sure that's what the off Rodeo will be but not sure. This is what I found

Everyone better work on this damn pandemic so the border opens and I can get down to something like this. I would sign up right now if I knew I could make it.

The company I work for also owns a 4x4 shop, so I thought about doing quarterly trail rides with all 6G Bronco owners and have the shop act as guides for the day, teaching lines, spotting, when to engage lockers & sway bar, 1 foot driving, winches, etc. Would anybody be interested in that?

Yes, I would.

FYI - There are no US border restrictions for Canadians traveling to the US by air. Only land crossings are affected. Air travel is ok.

1) Bronco won't fit in my suitcase
2) Not worth it to travel for me yet until we get back to normal

I would be. Sounds like a cool idea!

I've taken a one-day training with Matt, the owner of On Trail Training, and it was a great experience. Matt is very knowledgeable, quite skilled, and preaches the SAFE operation of equipment and techniques. He is calm and thorough when delivering information. I believe the training will be worth your time and money.

Good to know. Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for - safety first for sure.

I'm interested too.

I believe I heard that you will not have to use your own Bronco to participate. Ford will supply the Broncos.

I also highly recommend training. I have taken the basic and advanced recovery courses through Matt @ ontrailtraining and as an experienced wheeler, learned quite a bit. Be ready to spend money afterwards, as there are great tools to make recovery and self-recovery much easier! I am part of Colorado Rescue and Recovery. I will be equipping and using the new Bronco for vehicle recoveries here in the Front Range! Most recoveries come down to the stuck party not having the equipment or knowledge to get themselves out of their situation.
