APEX – Essentials of Off-Road Recovery (EOR)

THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE NEAR PENTICTON, BC.

Meetup is Sunday, August 25, 2024, at 8:30 AM at Apex Mountain Resort.

The focus of the second course of this series, “Essentials of Off-Road Recovery,” is to take you through the basics and help make you comfortable recovering your off-road vehicle from various common “stuck” situations.

Course topics include equipment selection and care, assessing a “stuck” while looking at it in a 360-degree view, and hands-on experience in various simple recovery scenarios.

In this day-long class, you will safely learn with our trained instructors in a controlled, real-world environment. On-trail skills you’ll learn include how to choose the proper recovery method and gear for a given situation and how to use traction boards, recovery straps, a Hi-Lift jack, and a winch. Our classes are small, allowing you to interact with the other students and share your experiences while learning from each other, and you will be encouraged to practice each of your new skills in our Hands-On training style.

By the end of the course, you will gain confidence in yourself and a better understanding of your vehicle and recovery options, allowing you to head out on your adventures and be safer.

• Chair
