    Hey guys,

    While I have been finding tons of good info here on the forums, I'm still very new to off-roading. I quick search on Barnes & Noble and Amazon didn't really produce much in the way of books about off-roading.

    Can anyone recommend a good instructional or guide-book for those of us who are new to it?

    Things I'd like to read about:
    -Terrain & weather-specific strategies
    -Winching methods & techniques
    -Hazard mitigation
    -Field repair/temporary fixes

    I'd like to learn from the guys who've been there!
