This month’s Throttle Out episode from ExtremeTerrain (XT) is for those who use their vehicles off-road or have thought about it. Whether it’s a fire trail, rock crawling or mudding chances are, regardless of your skill-level, you will eventually get stuck. Preparation is key when on the trail so having the right techniques, tools and, even, a buddy to assist you will make the trek safer and more fun.

If you spend enough time on the trails and push yourself and your Jeep, eventually you’ll end up stuck. Knowing a few simple recovery techniques will ensure that you’re quickly and safely back on the move -Ryan Huck

The Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation disagree with a judge’s decision to vacate the delisting of the Greater Yellowstone grizzly population by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The ruling places the population back on the endangered species list.

“Despite this ruling, the basic facts remain the same: grizzly bears in the Yellowstone area have recovered, and no longer meet the definition of threatened or endangered under the ESA and should be rightfully returned to state management,” said Evan Heusinkveld, Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation president and CEO. “This ruling is just another example of why we need comprehensive reforms to the way we manage ESA-listed species in this country. We are evaluating all of our legal options to appeal this ruling.”

PAOLI, Pa. (Sept 17, 2018) – With the production of the all-new 2018 JL Wrangler in full swing, more and more new Wranglers are being seen on roadways and trails.

During the week of September 10 – 15 National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) staff members Geoff Chain and Marc Hildesheim, along with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) OHV Subject Matter Expert, Brad Colin, visited five cities in Oregon and Washington. At each city a listening session was held with local OHV enthusiasts to determine what the BLM can do to provide a better OHV recreation experience. These meetings were part of the larger BLM National Motorized Recreation Strategy which came out in 2014. NOHVCC and the BLM have partnered to apply that strategy at a state level by engaging in a grassroots process that allows local users to help determine what the BLM’s trail program will look like.
