Trail Guide Training Class

The Beginning of an Addiction

When I first stepped into a Jeep dealership in May 2013, I had no idea that my simple question about the differences between three Jeep models would lead me down an exhilarating path of off-road adventures. Little did I know that this curiosity would spark a passion that would transform me from a complete novice to a seasoned off-road enthusiast and mentor.

My off-road journey began with a private 101 driving course led by Kyle from Off-Road Consulting. This initial experience was just the tip of the iceberg, igniting a fire within me for all things off-road.

Rapid Growth and Skill Development

Within my first year of Jeep ownership, I had already completed two off-road training classes. But I didn't stop there. My thirst for knowledge and adventure led me to pursue additional training in:

• Off-road recovery techniques
• Map reading skills
• Trail guide certification

From Student to Mentor

As my skills and experience grew, so did my role within the Jeep community. I transitioned from being one of the "new Jeep women" to a respected mentor, sharing my knowledge and passion with newcomers to the off-roading world.

A significant part of my success can be attributed to the expert guidance of Kyle from Off-Road Consulting. His wealth of knowledge and experience in the off-road industry has been invaluable to my growth as an off-road enthusiast.

Embracing the Jeep Lifestyle

My journey from a curious Jeep buyer to an accomplished off-road enthusiast and mentor is a testament to the transformative power of passion and dedication. The Jeep community has not only welcomed me but has also provided a platform for personal growth and the opportunity to share my love for off-roading with others.

As I continue to explore new trails and push my limits, I'm grateful for the incredible experiences, friendships, and skills I've gained along the way. My Jeep journey is far from over, and I look forward to many more years of off-road adventures and sharing my passion with fellow enthusiasts.

My Top 5 Must Have Primitive Camping Items

Campfire

Passion For the Great Outdoors

I have a deep passion for camping and immersing myself in the wonders of the natural world. The joy of gathering around a campfire with friends, engaging in delightful conversations, is a cherished experience. My upbringing in the beautiful landscapes of Minnesota and North Dakota allowed me to spend my entire childhood camping and fishing, resulting in a treasury of incredible memories from lakesides to wilderness retreats.

Childhood Memories

Nowadays, I blend my off-road adventures with the enduring love for the outdoors I cultivated as a child. Every trip is an opportunity to acquire new knowledge about the art of preparedness. On my most recent excursion, which was a cold weather trip, I found myself grateful for having brought along my trusty Buddy Heater to keep warm.

Combining Past and Present

Additionally, the unpredictable rain made me appreciate the importance of tarps, and I quickly learned that you can never have too many of them when you're out in the elements. Of course, no camping experience is complete without the essential indulgence of S'mores.
