Last month, Colorado Springs resident Jorge Carbo teamed up with his local Land Rover dealer, Discount
 Tire, Extreme Outback, and Overland Journal to offer a tire field repair course in Divide, Colorado.
Half a dozen people had the chance to learn from experts in the field, and also practice (in a relaxed setting) this important overlanding skill using the best tools available.Â
Participants used tools provided by Extreme Outback (featured in the Fall 2007 Overland Journal), and received a copy of the Winter 2007 Overland Journal, featuring Jonathan Hanson’s Tire Repair skills article.
Overland Journal contributing editor Graham Jackson and his wife Connie Rodman (shown at right with another participant in the course) attended and shared some of their extensive overlanding experience (see Overland Journal premier issue, Through the Dark Continent).
Special thanks to Jorge, the folks at Colorado Springs Land Rover, and George at Extreme Outback for offering this great overlander education event.
