Where is Your Winch Controller?

  By Tom Severin September 22, 2019 September 22, 2019 2019 Articles, Deadly Mistakes, Safety, Things To Know

Mt. Patterson was our destination that beautiful autumn day. Part of the Sweetwater Range and located on the western edge of the Great Basin, Mt. Patterson’s summit offers a commanding view of that area. The drive entails a slow climb on a one-lane shelf road. I was leading a group… Continue reading

Deadly Mistakes: Spinning Tires

  By Tom Severin June 15, 2015 May 18, 2017 2015 Articles, Deadly Mistakes, Driving Skills and Concepts

Getting stuck is a common occurrence among four wheelers. After all, we intentionally drive in difficult areas. Every situation is different, but one common trait I see is the inappropriate use of power to get through. It seems logical enough: I’m stuck or losing momentum; why not just hit the… Continue reading

  By Tom Severin May 2, 2009 May 24, 2017 2009 Articles, Deadly Mistakes, Outdoor Health, Safety

Summer is almost here, and that means the really hot weather is just around the corner. Even though the hot season is literally an annual event, many people drop their guard and put themselves at great risk. No one is immune to these forces. In late April a border patrol… Continue reading

Winch Extraction

  By Tom Severin May 25, 2008 May 25, 2017 2008 Articles, Deadly Mistakes, Equipment, Safety

It was a wet Sunday in March. From time to time snow squalls would blow through coating the vehicles but melting as soon as it toughed the ground. Occasionally the sun would peek out. Normally hard-baked clay trails with traction like slick rock had become slick and greasy. I had… Continue reading

Hanging on Vehicles

  By Tom Severin June 25, 2007 May 25, 2017 2007 Articles, Deadly Mistakes, Safety

One of our beliefs is relying on your normal instinct to cope with off-road situations is generally wrong. You have to learn a new set of behaviors. We see it time & again: people instinctively grab onto or jump onto a vehicle to prevent it tipping or rolling over. Don’t… Continue reading

  • FAQs

    When are classes?
    We publish a schedule of classes for the current year.   You can view all the dates by selecting the Recreational Training Schedule menu and then click on the class you are interested in.
    How much are classes?
    Many of our clinics are $275 per person per day.  You can see the price just below the class date by selecting tab Recreational Training Schedule menu and then click on the class you are interested in.
    Does it cost extra to bring another person if they are not going to drive?
    Yes – We charge per person including passengers since we feel everyone attending, riding, watching, etc. learns a great deal.
    Can I bring a Minor/Child with me?
    Yes – However with the Pandemic we are limiting classes to 10 and this might not be the best time to bring a child. Badlands Off-Road Adventures does not charge for children who are not licensed drivers. Children are welcome to attend and ride along. Older children (6 years and older) will have a blast. You are responsible to ensure they stay out of the path of other vehicles. The classroom portion may be too longs for smaller children.
    Can I bring a dog with me?
    Yes – Dogs are welcome. It is your responsibility that they do not disturb other students, are put in danger of being run over, or create a situation with other dogs.
    Does Day 1 and Day 2 need to be done on the same weekend?
    No, we treat each day as a separate class, so you control, as much as possible, the combination of clinics and attendees within the constraints of group clinic pricing. For this reason, we provide several one-day sessions that you can select, combine into a multi-day clinic or take individually at a later time.
    Cancellation Policy
    A full refund will be issued if you cancel more than 14 days before the start of an event. If you cancel within 2 days of the event: – the balance is transferable to another event within 12 months of the cancellation date. If you do not show up and did not cancel, you better have a darn good reason to convince us to transfer the balance to another event. If we must cancel an event, a full refund will be issued.
    Alcohol Policy
    Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs can seriously impair an individual’s judgement and reactions leading to an increased risk of accidents and injury. We require that all drivers are sober when driving. Drinking alcoholic beverages or using drugs before or during the driving clinics or during the driving portion of an off-road event is not allowed by the driver and any of the passengers. Since, we will be driving after lunch, alcoholic beverages are not allowed at lunch.
    On our adventure trips, we have no objections, to drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation in camp after all driving is completed for the day. If a night run is planned, then there is no drinking of alcohol until after the vehicles return to camp and are parked for the rest of the evening.
    We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding these substances and their use until we reach camp each day.
    We require that all beverages (whether alcoholic or not) be in metal or plastic containers. Glass containers are not allowed in much of our travel area.
