Hi @Gaurav kindly do this for fewbie level also.

Camping chair is essential for recoveries! Good initiative this @Gaurav.  I think different cars have different tricks (especially of you have diff-locks), so practice makes perfect.

Camping chair I asked for people who feel tired staying out for an hour or two, so they can sit and learn.

This training is actually focused on recoveries only, rather than vehicle familiarization, which I assume you all at Intermediate level already know your cars and gizmos, but I'm happy to answer any of those questions too.

There is a reason that this is done for Intermediate so that person is fully seasoned with desert driving and knowing the basics of offorading first.

I plan to do this and lot more training moving forward, so once we have next batch of Intermediate i'll arrange this again. Don't worry.
