About 4XOA

So what exactly is 4X Overland Adventures? Well we are many things. The goal is to be a for profit business which will provide overland adventures to the masses. The focus will be to those that have the desire to overland but may not have the experience, equipment, or time to plan an adventure. Our experienced crews will provide leadership, advice, and support.

Before I get into that though understand the following:

AZ4XAdventures was created in a parking lot in Flagstaff, AZ during the inaugural Arizona Border to Border run. My desire to lead a group of people on a multi-day adventure turned into the desire to creating a new business. There are too many things to list which I must do prior to making this a for profit business. It may never happen. I am the type of person who tries to find more ways to not do something than to do them. Due diligence keeps you in a warm bed with a roof over your head.

We will continue to support the local four wheeling community by offering adventures for free or very low cost. This will allow us to gain feedback to make the paid adventures as best as they can possibly be.

Understand that we will not give up on events created by volunteers. This is the lifeblood of any outdoor experience. Those that say they would never pay to go on a multi-day trip should also understand that many will. There are many people who just don’t have the time, equipment, or knowledge to do so.

As For The Paid Trips:

The pay runs will be turn key.  Meals provided, tents and camping equipment, and even a four wheel vehicle if required. These events are especially for those that will travel from abroad.

All paid trips include a medical staff member, mechanic, meals, support gear including common spare parts, camping equipment as required and emergency life flight medical insurance.

I can’t tell you when the 1st paid run will be offered. There is still lots of business planning, event planning, and experience to gain before we will ask for a fee. I take this role very seriously. I hope many of you will support my dream and desire to elevate what was AZ4XAdventures to something that can be shared with the world. If that day never comes because I opt to not launch a for profit business that’s ok. My passion for overlanding won’t diminish and we will continue to plan future events.

See you on the trail,
