This program is designed for a client or group’s unique needs and demands. This option is available to clients who want to expand their knowledge and skills. Your contact person and consultant will Bruce Elfstrom.  Bruce has been leading, consulting, and living and breathing Vehicle Based Expedition work since the early 1980s.

This type of training and/or consultation is for those of you needing to use your vehicle for extended goal oriented work or travel.  The vehicle is your camel, a tool to help meet an end, an objective.

Training:

 Students can make use of our two heavy rock fields, and "the 10 acre Gravel pit and strip mine".   10 pm in a heavy rain, one Army Ranger looked at the "road" ahead through his night vision gear and commented....

"this looks just like Afghanistan on a bad day, a bit like the Hindu Cush slammed into Moab!"   4 hours later and having left no trace of our passing, he commented ,  "I thought you were kidding when you said to drive through there.    That was just amazing."

As simple as how to pack, outfit,  and prepare your vehicle or change an axel in 120F or -20 F.

Consulting:

It is also the choice of many organized groups, such as film crews, aid workers, rescue workers, and expedition members (i.e. safari groups or overlanders looking to prepare for specific conditions.)
