During the 2021 E3 Association National Conference in Las Vegas , Brad , aka TrailRecon , spoke about his general process of finding and navigating trails he ’ s traversed over the years . From the mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the beaches of Mexico , the process of mapping the adventure usually starts at home in a book or computer — with a cup of coffee .
Brad was inspired to speak on this subject because of the need for sharing knowledge and how important it is for him and the overlanding community . In true fashion of a retired Navy Master Chief , Brad would rather teach and share the how and what rather than the where and when .
I can share this sentiment as I ’ ve been in many conversations where I was asked about what it took to get to some of the most awesome-looking trails . Popular questions such as , “ What kind of vehicle can make it there ? What are the trail ratings ?” make up the bulk of the questions . The answers to these questions are as varied as the questions . Truth is , there are no standard answers .
