Mandatory Challenges: | How are we Prepping?: |
Navigation - GPS (all types of electronics are allowed) | Jillian will be using at Garmin Tread for Navigation. Apex Overland will be offering discounts on all Garmin to competitors so contact us! |
Canoeing - Flatwater | Competitors will be required to carry the canoe on top of their vehicle the entire rally. So lightweight is key! Also work on communication with your team-mate prior. this is the key to being able to carry and manuever that canoe! |
Gravel/Dirt Road Driving | This one is pretty easy, I have a lot of experience offroad. But if you dont, not a big deal! Uwharrie opens April 1. There are a ton of dirt roads around the OHV area you can explore. You dont even have to go on the more technical trails. Although i do recommend it! (See "offroading" below for more tips and how we are prepping) |
Archery | Overlander project has shared that the draw weight will be 25lbs on the bows that we will be using. We will be borrowing some bows from a friend and practicing with friends who are skilled. |
Hiking | Again I will be relying on my Garmin Tread for navigation through the woods or hiking to waypoints. Its easy magnetic mount makes taking it for quick hikes easy. I will also have my Garmin Fenix 7 watch in case the trek is longer. |
Optional Bonus Challenges: | |
Whitewater Rafting - Class 3-4 | This is not something I have ever done so I am looking into a class at a whitewater center. Since Class 3-4 rapids are more technical and not as beginner friendly. |
Ziplining -Multiple runs | Planning a fun weekend with the Kids to go ziplining. That way the feeling won't be as nerve wracking and We will be able to just power through! |
MTB- Pump track or similar | I have rode bikes all my life.. but I might be getting out more with the kids so it doesn't seem so bad on the track! |
Rock Climbing - Human Power | this is another fun one! There are a few rock climbing centers in my town so I will do a date date with my daughter to go try this out and figure out my strengths! |
Paddle Boarding (SUP) | I have paddle boarded before! So I am not too worried. But there are a ton of classes for this as well at the local lake. |
One Wheel - Motorized | I don't have access to one of these so I will be referencing the good ole YouTube for some pointers on this one! |
Firearms (Rifle , Pistol -Shotgun) | Jillian has enlisted the help of some friends with more firearm experience to go to the range and practice on the 3 different types of firearms. I will practice targets in varying distances. |
Axe Throwing | Taking notes from YouTube! I have done this before a few times. Sometimes I've been good and other times it was laughable! |
Hardcore/Technical Offroading | Taking a class or two at Overland Experts. There is a fundamental class that goes over basics, some obstacle course driving so you get a solid feel for your vehicle and review the buttons and vehicle features/tools. May 20th class still has slots available! LINK to class If you would like specific offroad training then OEX also offers private classes as well. Reach out to book. |
