recovery 101
Have you ever thought about what you would do if you, or another vehicle, were stuck? Have you ever used that winch on your jeep? Many people have never used their equipment, or don’t even know what equipment to buy.
Our recovery training class offers a hands-on approach to learning about recovery and safety gear options, how to use recovery equipment, and the safe way to use equipment for recovering vehicles in various situations. We can teach you how to use the equipment on your rig, and other people’s rigs, in solo situations and in teams.
Don’t have any recovery equipment yet? We can guide you in the correct direction for purchasing the right recovery gear and answer any questions you have regarding the various items to purchase.
