Overland Training February 2010 Comprehensive Course

Beautiful location for a class

Overland Training recently completed the February Comprehensive course in Arizona. Much to our surprise the area we do the initial driving and recovery training was completely changed due to massive water flow. In some ways it was very nice as traffic was minimized, we had a nice river crossing to tackle and even mud, which is not usually a component of our Arizona training.

Just on the way to the campsite, we had three recovery situations which proved to be very valuable experience for the class.

Recent rains gave us the opportunity for some mud instruction

Despite the rain and the damp, we still got good use of the sand area to practice with the pull-pal and sand mats.

We had a great group of people attend this course, and special thanks to Marcos Weskamp for the pictures used in this blog entry.
