Spend a weekend camping and training with Overland Experts at our NC Course.
Saturday, March 7th: Students arrive for 8:20am start time for “Fundamentals of Off-Road Driving Class”. We will end the day with an introduction to vehicle recovery followed by convoy to our *private on-site campground. We’ll end the evening around the campfire with talk of trucks, trails, and tales!
Sunday, March 8: Continue from Saturday with more vehicle recovery & conclusion of the course.
Saturday in Detail: Providing a full day of foundation 4WD training, Saturday follows our Fundamentals Class structured for those new to driving off-road. (Or even those just looking for a quick refresher!) You will learn the OEX Five Systems Method of operating a four-wheel-drive vehicle, as well as the OEX Five Steps to Negotiating any Obstacle.
Sunday in Detail: Whether you drive a purpose-built rig or one of the many all-wheel-drive vehicles on the road today, Sunday follows our Recovery Workshop and is the best way to learn about safe and effective vehicle recovery. You’ll spend a few hours in a group setting learning about and getting hands-on with recovery gear and technique. From traction “aids” to straps and ropes, pulleys, winches, and everything in between, you’ll better understand and use recovery gear in the most effective and safe manner possible to get your vehicle back on the road and back home.
Some of what you’ll learn:
OEX follows and recognizes the Tread Lightly principles of off road vehicle travel and operation.
*We will be primitive camping at our training facility. You will need to supply your own camping gear, food, etc.
PLEASE NOTE - All of our group classes require a minimum TOTAL of registered students. If minimum attendance is not reached we will notify those registered to reschedule or refund by the fifth day BEFORE class.
