Off-Road Driving Essentials for Rough-Terrain Ops Gets Mapped Out in New Episode of Lindnerhof’s ‘Warrior Talk’
LENGGRIES, GERMANY (14 June 2023)—Advanced tactical gear maker Lindnerhof-Taktik today announced the release of “Warrior Talk,” episode two, in which guest Björn Herbert discusses how to properly outfit a vehicle for off-road driving and not let boulders, ruts, or other extreme rough-terrain features stop you from getting where the mission calls for you to go.
Host of the series Jakob Kolbeck is discussing with Herbert—a former trainer of special- forces off-road drivers in South Africa—what’s involved in traveling across land where there are no roads but plenty of potentially impassable geographic hazards.
The title of the episode is “Off-Road Driving Essentials for Ops in Extremely Rough Terrain.”
“We cover quite a few topics that viewers will find invaluable if they’re considering transporting themselves and their mission teammates without the benefit of smooth asphalt, concrete, or even graded dirt beneath their tyres,” said Kolbeck, who also is Chief Executive Officer of Linderhof.
Added Herbert (Lindnerhof’s technical sales manager international): “The conversation revolves a lot around vehicles suitable for off-road use, but at the heart of our discussion is the consequential matter of carry-along equipment. That’s because a car is really just an extension of your personal gear—and at some point, you’re going to have to get out of that car and operate. “
Specifically, Herbert and Kolbeck examine:
- Differences between driving over soft sand and rocky terrain
- AGF, Dingo, and other military vehicles that can be optimised for off-road use
- Advantages of soft-skin vehicles versus hard-skin vehicles
- How planned route, travel distance, vehicle range, terrain features, and facilities influencedriver decision-making strategies
- Why adding equipment to a vehicle affects off-road performance
- Comparison of best gear to add to petrol-powered vehicles and electric vehicles
- Gear setup/organisation inside and outside the vehicle
