Jayston Landon
You might recognize the name; I've been part of this community and industry for quite some time. I set out to gain more experience and now, I'm back with a wealth of expertise. My passion for the Ozarks knows no bounds, and I can't wait to share it with all of you.
I take pride in training vehicle owners in top-notch driving and recovery techniques. My expertise is highly sought after in the offroad industry, working with reputable companies like CAM Mobility, 7P Overland, Overland Expo, MyQuest Adventures, and Rendezvous in the Ozarks. From private courses to public lands, I've provided technical driver training for Tier 1 Special Forces, recreational groups, and Original Equipment Manufacturers, tailoring specialized instruction for each group.
Responsible offroad travel is at the core of my beliefs, as I have 14 years of experience as an outdoor guide, specializing in hiking, biking, and boating. My well-rounded background in outdoor recreation allows me to create a truly engaging and holistic experience for all participants. I am an advocate for LNT and Tread Lightly. Roads are meant to be driven. Not ruined.
The Ozarks hold a special place in my heart, for it's where my passion took root, and where I learned invaluable lessons early in my career. Sharing the beauty and adventure of this region with others is not just a job; it's a calling I wholeheartedly embrace.
