4WDABC Off-Road Vehicle Training

Set aside some time this year for the Wheeling Wisely courses being taught by the 4 Wheel Drive Association of BC. Their qualified instructors will take you through the basics and help make you comfortable in your off-road vehicle in a variety of common situations and obstacles.

Off-Road Vehicle Courses

There are currently three off-road vehicle courses being held by the 4WDABC held at various times throughout the coming year. Check the website for course dates.

The cost of each course is $125 and you must be a member of the association to attend. New memberships are available at a cost of $30.

Foundations of Four-Wheeling

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 pick a line, spotting, hill climbing and descent, off-camber (side-hill), and driving in different terrain conditions, to name a few.

Essentials of Off-Road Recovery

The day will start with a review of equipment commonly used in recovery, which will help you figure out what you need. We’ll also take you through the steps of the “stuck assessment 360” and show you how to use that information to formulate and execute a recovery plan.

Recovery for SoftRoaders

Based on Essentials of Off-Road Recovery, this modified class takes you through the basics of self-recovery, and gives you the ability to safely help a friend get out of that “sticky situation,” but with a specific focus on “softroader” vehicles.
