Provisioned in
Everything is carried from the trailhead. Refrigeration, water and fuel are sized to the route before we leave pavement.
Technical instruction
Trained, not chauffeured
You drive. We teach you how to read a line, air down for sand, pick a rock crawl, and recover your own vehicle with a winch and a shovel. By the last day our guides are riding behind you, not in front.
- Convoy protocol, spotting and radio discipline
- Winching, kinetic recovery and anchor rigging
- Tire repair, air management and field triage
- Navigation and route-finding without signal
- Reading surface change before you are on it
The teaching arc
What you can do by the last morning
Instruction is not a one-off session on day one. It is sequenced across the trip so each skill gets used on real ground before the next one is added.
- Stage 01
Vehicle and comms
Controls, low range, lockers, tire pressure theory, radio discipline and convoy spacing before the pavement ends.
- Stage 02
Line reading
Choosing a line through rock and rut, spotting for another driver, and knowing when to walk a section first.
- Stage 03
Surface strategy
Airing down for sand flotation, silt and playa technique, and reading a surface change before you are committed to it.
- Stage 04
Self-recovery
Winch rigging, anchors, kinetic rope use, traction boards and shovel work — performed by you, not for you.
Pop-up glamping suites
Standing canvas, proper beds with linens, hot showers, lanterns and private washrooms — set on untouched ground and struck without a trace when we leave.
Hot springs and massage
Routes are drawn to end at backcountry geothermal water where it exists, with licensed massage therapists on camp for post-trail recovery.
The table
Dinner is not a freeze-dried bag
A backcountry chef travels with the camp crew. Menus are built around your group before departure — dietary requirements, preferences, and whether you want a long table or a quiet one.
Cooked on site
Multi-course service at the Buyout tier, dinner service at Expedition, with pairings poured against the menu.
Zero trace
Grey water, waste and every scrap of packaging comes back out with us. The camp site looks untouched the morning after.
Limited departures
Tell us where the pavement should end
Send your dates, group size and appetite for difficulty. We'll return a proposed route, camp plan and menu within two business days.
