OVERLAND TRAIL ROUTE FACTS
01
7‑HOUR PLANE CRASH ROUTE
A 7‑hour vehicle overland plane‑crash route designed for organized 4x4 convoys, featuring technical off‑road sections, narrow tracks, and managed staging points. This route is intended for convoy operations with PTG group support, vehicle‑to‑vehicle communications, planned regrouping locations, and an emphasis on camaraderie and mutual aid.
02
RUGGED VEHICLE TERRAIN
Rigs should be high‑clearance 4x4s with off‑road tires, reinforced recovery points, and proper underbody protection. Recommended gear includes a winch or rated recovery straps, D‑shackles, shovel, air compressor, spare parts, and vehicle‑specific protections (skid plates, snorkel) for convoy reliability.
03
SAFETY & RECOVERY PROTOCOLS
Mandatory pre‑drive briefings, an agreed recovery plan, and verified emergency communications are required for all convoy participants. Each vehicle must carry basic recovery equipment, a first‑aid kit, and spare‑parts strategy; recovery procedures and crew roles will be reviewed before departure.
04
GUIDED CONVOY & Epic Adventure
Enjoy a guided overlanding adventure led by an experienced Trail Boss and Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) Instructor, combining epic exploration, meaningful connection, and opportunities for personal growth and restoration.
