I did the 101 course with them at Rausch back in 2017. Well worth it if you've never really done the off road thing before. You'll likely be surprised at how capable a stock wrangler is. It's a long, slow day with a ton of instruction. Kyle is extremely knowledgeable so pick his brain. It's definitely worth the cost to get an idea of how the different functions on your jeep work (brake lock differential, lockers/limited slip). You'll likely do the first half of the day at street pressure and air down for the 2nd half of the day to better understand how less air = more comfort and more traction.I just signed up for Off Road Consulting 101 course at Rausch Creek on 11/7. Is anyone else going? Does anyone who has already been have any advice for what to bring/what to expect? -Thanks!
I may do that one. We did the green guided at RC last Saturday. Too much fun and harder than the same at Anthrocite. I was just worried that the 101 might be too basic, not that I have a ton of experience but I know some things from years of playing in the dirt. Never rock crawling. You do not need a air compressor. There is a long line of them and it goes fast.Thanks for the information. Do I need to bring my own compressor to air back up at the end?
No need for your own air up equipment. The line will move relatively quickly so long as people are just airing up and not ducking around with other stuff they can do in the parking lot (IE reconnecting sway bars).Thanks for the information.

Some of the brush comes in ~a little~ close, but I did not notice any major scratches on the exterior after the trip. My son reached out the window in a few places just to push some branches out of the way. I did not catch anything on the bottom, but I have a 2-door Sport with Rubicon springs, shocks, and wheels/tires. There was a stock Gladiator Sport on the trail with us, he dragged in a few spaces but I don't believe suffered any real damage underneath. I think the short wheelbase and extra height definitely helped us out.Serious question... Should I expect Jeep damage from this course? Do I need to prep my wife that her baby might get scratched?
You may scrape underneath in a couple places. I wouldn’t expect damage - just a scrape here and there on a skid plate, maybe minor rock rash on a wheel, and maybe some pinstriping depending on where he takes you. Some of the greens on the northeast have a little overgrowth. It’s a Jeep though - it’ll be perfectly fine.Serious question... Should I expect Jeep damage from this course?

The 101 is a lot of fun, and you will learn a lot. Both Kyle and Peter are fantastic instructors.I just signed up for Off Road Consulting 101 course at Rausch Creek on 11/7. Is anyone else going? Does anyone who has already been have any advice for what to bring/what to expect? -Thanks!
