If I was not impressed with your idea when we had a little chat, I am drooling over the content covered in this training session.

Although it says Absolute Newbie Training, but this is bound to create a few experts by the time we are done.

Sounds promising and I would definitely like to be a part of this training, I am in 200%. Plus the area is apt for such a training and we will create plenty of opportunities to learn, hopefully this will also give a chance to clear up why so many recovery gear is required for a desert trip. You never know what you are going to face in the desert.

Good initiative @Gaurav Bhai.

@shadow79 If you bring cycle make sure it's 4x4 to meet drive requirement.

On a serious note, try to join as you might add some value from your workshop expertise.
