Winching and Recovery Day!
February 25. $250./vehicle. Limit 8 vehicles.
This hands on practical skill
building training will take place where the
Camel Trophy US team practiced their skills - the OHV area
behind Grand
Junction airport! The hills, soil and terrain will require us to
use all the
tricks to get unstuck. Depending on the weather the snow might
make
things sloppier than they will be already with the mud and
arroyos creating a recovery specialist's dream!
Bring some firewood and we'll continue the discussion with Bill
around the campfire that night.
All 4WD vehicles and all skill levels welcome. Hotel, camp or come
for the day! This fun, demanding class will be a great way to
get rid of that winter cabin fever. Besides this class,
Grand Junction has a lot to offer!
Other than your 4WD vehicle
with strong front and rear recovery points,
no special equipment is necessary.

The Bill Burke Difference
4-Wheel Drive Education
starts with an understanding of how a 4-wheel drive (4WD) works, giving you insight into why your 4WD drive performs as it does.
Bill's experience as an ASE Master Truck Technician as well as numerous training aids teach you how to
get the most out of your 4WD.
Bill's sense of humor and history, geographical expertise and environmental insight
blend to give a greater sense of civilization as we know it relative to all prospectors, explorers, natives and dinosaurs
who were on the trail before us!
All of Bill's back country trips, adventures and expeditions
are experiential; multi-faceted journeys which can include side trips to ancient pictographs, viewing breathtaking canyons and
spectacular wildflowers. Instead of the gridlock of city traffic, we might be slowed down by a sighting of mule deer or by mountain goats
on the trail.
Bill's
teaching abilities shine
through everything he does. Each obstacle,
stuck vehicle and piece of 4WD
equipment becomes a discussion, a demonstration, and an opportunity for learning. Safety is fundamental.
As a
Trainer and Guide Bill is prepared
for anything that may happen. A Wilderness First Responder with an
extensive First-Aid kit, Bill can deal with injuries or evacuate a
severely injured person. With 150 lb. tool kit & 40 years of
mechanical experience, vehicle problems on the trail are handled in
such a way that allows you to make it off the trail to safety.
Bill's understanding of group dynamics and personalities
means that even in large groups, each person feels like a vital part
of the trip and training rather than merely a participant. From
first-time 4-wheelers to long-experienced trail riders, Bill's
training courses and trips encompass each person's experience level
and needs.
