2023 Winter
Ouachita Adventure
Join Calvary Overland
December 1st - 3rd
as we embark on our last adventure of 2023. We will be heading to the Ouachita National Forest, but with a twist this time!
Let go of the common misconceptions that have obscured the Ouachita forest, reducing it to a mere network of flat forest roads. We invite you to experience the reality for yourself! If you're open to adding a few pinstripes to your vehicle in exchange for venturing into these sought-after trails, then it's time to find your Adventure!

This trip we will plan to explore many miles of trails the forest has to offer! On some of the more technical trails, you will be able to stretch your vehicles suspension to gain some confidence for when you are out by yourself. You'll experience 80+ miles of trails throughout the Ouachita National Forest and be able to record campsites & routes in your GPS app of choice so you can come back and space the city once again.

Taking photos of your rig while out on the trail is hard, exhausting, and takes away from the experience. Capturing video on top of that is even more difficult! Then adding the cost of equipment just to capture a decent photo can tip the scales. While on our adventure, we'll have a dedicated person to capture you, your rig, and the friends you'll make. Hiring someone to do this for a few days can cost as much as $5,000, but on our adventures it's included!

Waking up at camp and making a good breakfast is great, but waking up in camp with breakfast already made is even better! Along with breakfast for two days, we have a variety of activities and workshops planned so you can level up and leave with a better working knowledge for your own adventures. We will cover trail etiquette, T.R.E.A.D. principles and camp hacks. ​Our activities are subject to change based on the weather and trail conditions, but you won't want to miss out on everything we have planned!

Led by Brandon Darwin, an experienced explorer who has undertaken extensive trips in Mexico, Canada, and various regions of America, this course covers essential skills for planning extended adventures. We will integrate traditional techniques with modern tools like Gaia GPS, onX Offroad, Google Maps, and other resources. By the end of the course, you will have a deeper knowledge of map reading and GPS utilization, enabling you to confidently plan and navigate your next overland trip!

FAQ
Who is the Adventure for?
Calvary Adventures are for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve traveled around the world or haven’t been on your first trip.
Do I need a 4x4 & high clearance vehicle?
For this Adventure, it is mandatory that all vehicles possess 4-wheel drive capability and meet a high clearance requirement, with a minimum ground clearance of 8 inches from the vehicle's undercarriage.
This is my first time out, is that okay?
Yes! The trail guides are here to help. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the trail leader. brandon@calvaryoverland.com
What apps do I need?
You don’t need any apps or technology, but we recommend Gaia GPS. This is how all of our trail leaders mark and discover routes. After the Adventure, we will share campsite & point of interest map data.
Is this really worth $829?
We think so. Industry standard for 3-4 day trips average $1200 - $1800 per vehicle. You’ll be hard pressed to find an outing that provides campsite workshops, high quality photo & video services, food, and well executed travel. Not to mention, all the weekends you would have to spend finding the places we will take you in just a single weekend.
