Default Any interest in a 4 Wheeling Basics class?

Saturday, May 7th.

Two years ago I offerred a free 4 wheeling basics class at Pairie City OHV park.

The only cost was the $5 bucks or so to get in.

The class includes:

A walkthrough of what I carry in my jeep when I wheel and why.
A discussion on upgrades, what I did and why.
We will then head over to the 4WD area and run the easiest of the man-made hills.
We will then discuss spotting, why a driver chooses certain lines when rocks are in front them.
We wil discuss winching, cable vs. rope, and when to winch and when to strap.

The group will then get to practice much of this on the harder hills in the area.
We will then have some open exploration time.

All the while participants can ask any questions they have, and myself or my volunteer friends will try to get them answered.

Any thoughts on this? I'll be looking for Prairie City dates based on their other events and post something here.

Have you been up to the Loon lake or Wentworth entrance lately? Curious how much snow there is.
