They taught us how to prepare for off-road driving, that the heavy load should always be loaded at the bottom, when and how to use the differential locks, when and why to deflate the tires, that you should always drive extremely slowly over and through obstacles, how to read a terrain, why you should wade through a ford on foot before driving through it, how and why you should always steer in the direction of the fall and much more.
