My daughter and I attended the ExploringNH Intro to Overlanding July 16th 2016
(this is also in my build thread)
It was a 2 day event that I couldn't appreciate to its fullest as you'll read below
This course is unequivocal to say the least, the course is by no means a walk in the park, they test your limits
it was held at the backwoods farm (aka off road park)
man were my eyes opened when we hit the trails & some very tight squeezes too
I thought I was in for some casual trail riding like at the VT ORW, was I wrong
the hands on expertise is phenomenal, actual real world knowledge presented in an easy to follow style from Ryan, Chris & Shannon (I hope I remembered their names correctly)
we worked with maxxtraxs, recovery minus any actual winching since there was only one other beside me that had a winch, odd the sponsor had no winch either
rigs ranged from stock to a jeep that was totally modded
I discovered today that my rig is more capable than I am, before this I would have never imagined anything like this possible from it
sadly I left because the trails are too rough for my injury, the rest are there having fun still up until about 6pm est tonight
I still have no feelings in my legs, I' learned I cant do things with my injury
I've surrendered to my limits I think LOL
my daughter snapped the pics, I was too busy sweating bullets, so please enjoy our short lived adventure
