Congratulations @Emanuel for reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club.

Looking forward to seeing you grow further and helping others to learn the art of offroading in a safe environment.

Please make sure your Carnity user profile is always updated with all the latest Emergency contact details.

 

ADVISOR

This Advisor level is the cornerstone of the Team Carnity Structure as you will always remain an "Advisor" first even when you attain a Marshal rank. As an advisor, you will constructively help, support, and advise other advisors with "respect" being part of this big multicultural family. You can discuss or even question ideas at any level but respectfully and professionally by keeping all the dialogue exchanges confidential for internal use only.

Your biggest transformation from an off-roader to a leader will be done at this level. With solid experience in supporting drives and handling recoveries, you will join the most comprehensive and power-packed Leaders Lead session.

The Leaders Lead Session, which consists of significant homework and preparation in advance of the drives, will eventually teach you all about leading and navigating in the desert, extreme recovery scenarios, and learning to lead the convoy in the various terrains UAE has to offer. These sessions are conducted by a crew member, tailored specifically for you, and done for a handful of members only at a time.

This is invaluable information and exclusive training that you will only receive at the Advisor level with Carnity.

You will be learning the basics of leading the convoy in the desert in three different steps:
https://carnity.com/store/product/73-advance-desert-leading-course/

• Advance sand reading, planning your lead, terrain, level, and emergency exits.
• Lead with navigational software to systematically scale the lead for all the cars in the convoy.
• Ability to lead, recover and manage the convoy in the most extreme desert available in the UAE.

 

Once you complete these 3 steps then you will be eligible to lead drives under supervision:

 

• Minimum two partial leads for any daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.
• Plan, post, and a lead minimum of four daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.
   

You can extend above two partial or four full leads if you need more time to develop confidence.

 

Once you successfully, complete the minimum of two partial and four full leads under supervision, then you will be eligible for your Expert promotion.

Thank you so much for the warm congratulations on my promotion to Advisor level! 🌟

I am incredibly grateful to all the marshals who have contributed to my learning, growth, and development over the years. Special thanks to @Gaurav, @Islam Soliman, @Frederic, @Vanessa8580, @Looper, @Simon D, @Ale Vallecchi, @JeromeFJ, @DP1011, and @Davie Smooth_Operator and several others over the years who have been instrumental in my journey. Your guidance and support have been invaluable. 🙏

👏 nice work @Emanuel !! Now we need to time drive 100 together as well 😂

Thanks @Luke K P. It would be truly a memorable and a monumental feat of coordination for @Ishak, you and me to drive 100 together. I don't think there is a middle eastern version of the three musketeers though we could come up some really cool legend ourselves.

Great great News!!! Congratulations @Emanuel! It’s always a pleasure to be helped by you. Now, I can't wait to be guided by you!

Congratulations @Emanuel well deserved let me know how I can help you on this new journey, a lot of fun, excitement and learnings ahead of you. Enjoy the journey 

😃

Thank you @Davie Smooth_Operator. Being on your drives, and later on as your Second Lead, helped me learn a lot. I clearly  remember that one pocket you had to get me out of, 3 times in a row. Thank you for your patience on that one and countless others. 😀

I see a really head to head race among you both 😁 @Emanuel Congratulations! and enjoy the journey ahead!

Thank you Deepak, always a pleasure to drive with you my friend.

Seems like the three of us have solid Support Team spirit and will try to time our 100th drive together rather than make it a competition. Let's see if the desert gods will be in favor of this timing goal.

@Emanuel behind that super calm demeanor there is a true leader. From the start you've been a team player and were always willing to help out.  

Even though you fast tracked your way in the White Rino (customization wise i mean 😁) you've done plenty of drives and your skills show for it. 

 

I have no doubt the Leaders Lead Sessions will be a delight for you, and i am very much looking forward to be your second lead soon! (Finally the role gets reversed). Yallah!

Brilliant! Thank you very much for digging this photo out of the archives and for digging me out (quite literally) many times before. I remember that moment clearly.

Ah, the White Rhino, she is a beauty. Truly feeling blessed this worked out this way. 🙏 We all have our journey and @Mike M.'s passion is research, sourcing, and customisations. He takes a lot of pride in his works of art. I was dreading planning all that with my first Pajero and the White Rhino ticked all the boxes and more.

Huge Congratulations to @Emanuel, has been a real pleasure to drive with you on many drives to date, looking forward to many more!

Your calm attitude, a strong dedication to safety on the sand and an obvious love for growing the Newbie and Fewbie members has been there for all to see. A great leader in the making!

Enjoy your next level and progression to Marshal, while you keep the Pajero spirit alive!
