MOAB, UTAH
SEPTEMBER 14-15, 2026
Â
Youâve learned the mechanics. Youâve practiced recovery. Youâve driven technical terrain. Now itâs time to put it all together - for real. Expedition Readiness: Applied Skills Intensive is the most advanced training offered within Overland Van Academy and is open exclusively to graduates of:
âď¸Â Moab 4x4/AWD Van Training
âď¸Â Overland Essentials: Foundations
âď¸Â Backcountry Skills + Recovery
This is not another class.
This is where drivers become expedition-ready.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
This is where it all clicks
Most drivers leave Levels 1 & 2 with strong skills.
But thereâs still a gap between: âI learned itâ and âI trust myself anywhere.â That gap closes here. Over two immersive days, youâll apply everything youâve learned in dynamic, real-world scenarios that demand:
- Decision making under pressure
- Technical driving confidence
- Recovery judgment and strategy
- Terrain assessment
- Team-based problem solving
- Expedition mindset
You wonât just run drills. Youâll operate as if youâre already
out on your own expedition. Because soon - you will be.
Level III
WHAT MAKES THIS
LEVEL DIFFERENT
Levels I & IIÂ teach skills.
Level III integrates them.
This intensive is designed to simulate the types of real-world conditions encountered on extended overland travel where:
- Terrain changes quickly
- Conditions arenât predictable
- Recovery decisions matter
- Confidence must be instinctive
With a low instructor-to-vehicle ratio and scenario-based coaching, youâll refine not only how you drive - but how you think.

Meet Your Professional InstructorÂ
Jim West
Jim is one of THE REVEL CLUB's lead trainers for many reasons! He is a retired Fire Fighter/Paramedic based out of Phoenix, AZ. He represented the USA on the 1992 Camel Trophy team in Guyana, and then was hired back the following year to pre-scout and create a route book for the 1994 event in Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile. As a result, Jim was asked to assist with the selection and training of every US team from 1993-1998. Also, from that event he developed a working relationship with Land Rover North America in which he has provided driving instruction and emergency medical support while on their events. Â
Over the past 30 years, Jim has worked on Vehicle based events in 29 different countries on 5 continents. He has a passion for teaching, whether it's emergency vehicle operations to Fire Fighters or off-road driving, recovery, vehicle selection/prep, or wilderness medicine to civilians. Along with Emergency Vehicle Operations Instructor, Paramedic, Wilderness Paramedic, Jim also is certified as a City & Guilds NPTC Off-Road Assessor and British Columbia Forest Safety Council Instructor.

Webb Arnold
For decades, Webb has enjoyed being off road on 2 wheels and 4. A lover of the outdoors and motorcycle racing brought him to represent Team USA in the 1991 Camel Trophy in Tanzania-Burundi. After competing, he returned as a trainer for USA Camel Trophy teams.
Webb has a lifelong passion for Jeeps, and has worked for Jeep on international events and as a trainer.
Many years in the field means that Webbs bush-mechanic skills are second to none, and that's nothing compared to what he can do in his fully equipped shop!
Webb has worked all over the USA and further afield teaching both civilian and military teams the art of off-highway driving and recovery.
