Welcome to the Survive Off Road web site. We provide 4WD driver instruction and basic survival training. Chuck is a certified four-wheel
drive trainer through the International 4-Wheel Drive
Trainers' Association (I4WDTA). Members of I4WDT
 must demonstrate knowledge of four-wheel drive systems,
recovery equipment, wilderness navigation, and wilderness
first aid. They must demonstrate in the real world the skills required
to drive off-road in challenging terrain and use recovery equipment
safely. I4WDTA is the only 4WD Training
Association of its kind that requires its
members to pass written and practical
examinations in order to become a certified
4WD Instructor. Chuck shares this 
certification with only one other person in
Arizona. Chuck teaches both beginners and
advanced students the art and finesse of
driving a four wheel drive vehicle, but he
doesn’t stop there. He also believes that 
being prepared for the unexpected is a
must! Some courses will also prepare you
for basic wilderness survival.
Survival training is serious business, so it’s reassuring to know that if you become hopelessly stuck in the backcountry, that you have the knowledge and skills to stay alive, stay safe, and get rescued. Chuck will teach you about building fire and shelter, how to make water safe to drink, and what you should 
have in a survival bag and how to use it. Chuck will demonstrate signaling for help, what works, and when to use different signaling techniques. Your loved ones depend on you to be prepared. Take the next step and make sure that when they need you the most you have the knowledge and skills to take care of them and get them home safely! Go to the courses page and sign up now.
This was exactly the kind of trip I built my FJC for...getting to those remote places that most folks have forgotten about. Chuck did a great job dealing with a large group of people.

I already know how to make fire and survive but it was still fun to see the other guys learning and trying.....
Thanks a bunch for a good time Chuck...

My dad and I decided to run Poughkeepsie Gulch at the end of the day. Admittedly a little too difficult for my equipment and experience level. When we came to "The Wall", a crazy steep, rough, and tippy climb, I knew I was in for trouble. My truck ended up getting high-centered on the transfer case in a dangerous spot. Lucky for me, 
Chuck was there, and he had come prepared with the proper equipment and knowledge to get me safely unstuck and keep my 
truck from tipping. Thanks a million Chuck!
