SW CO Recovery Classes

Does anyone know of any winter recovery classes that may be hosted in South West Colorado? I just picked up a recovery strap and shackles to get started on having some recovery gear and I would like to know how to properly use it. While this is far from my fist winter in CO it is my first winter with a Tacoma, let alone a truck. Any tips, tricks, or leads are greatly appreciated!

I’d recommend overland expo or one of the overland rally’s. The training is done by 7P (https://7p.io/) and is very good.

I went to expo west in flagstaff and I learned a ton in 3 days, especially how to do things safely.

Well, this is the last time we had a get together for a recovery class in winter.

Much better luck asking in our BS thread, 99% of our CO people never look at these 1 off threads.

 

Thanks for the heads up! I had a feeling that it might be like that.

 

@In4aride is your neck of the woods and might be able to help. Just don't let him talk you into getting your truck "stuck" and use his for recovery.

 

hahaha sounds like the voice of experience, I'll keep that in mind!

 

I was hoping for a more outrageous story but yeah....I asked and you answered

 

Just stirring the pot, I haven't done any runs with him yet.

 

@In4aride if you know of any winter recovery (or just plane 'ol recovery) classes being held around the Western Slope or down in the San Juans let me know. Or if you get board and want to play in the snow and maybe show me the ropes hit me up.

 

I haven't seen anything in my searches yet either. I'm down in the Durango area. I'm not planning on getting into anything too crazy till I start learning some skills, plus my truck is my daily right now so mostly looking to learn some basics and have fun.

 

FYI- When things warm up, there are a few Denver clubs that offer recovery classes but you have to slog on over this way to partake.

People usually post them up in the upcoming events thread.

 

Thanks for the heads up! I'm sure I could find some time to get away for one. I'll keep an eye out for them.

 

It’s not a class but there’s an Aussie guy on YouTube that has some pretty informative and interesting videos on recovery. Unfortunately I can’t remember his channel name.

 

I think I know who you're talking about. I feel like I've seen a video or two of his on winching a while back. I'll start browsing and hopefully I can find him.

 

Is this the guy you are talking about?

Yeah that’s the guy.
