Our next installment of our Overland Trek Across Canada series will conquer New Brunswick from North to South in a highly specialized and strategically executed trip in the O.T.A. format made famous on the east coast by 207 Overland.
OTAM and now OTAC were born from the idea of strategically getting your overland rig from one corner of the Provence to the other, avoiding pavement at all costs all while carefully rationing food, water, fuel, and the allotted time for the trip.
Just because one trail ends, doesn’t mean the journey does. OTAC is held with a small convoy of hand selected people and each with their own unique speciality for the trip ahead. Together, they overcome each obstacle in a race against time and supplies to reach the finish line together.
OTAC will be a well documented journey on video with a focus on strategic planning, execution, and the individual part that each team/vehicle plays. For example, the cook for the trip while not responsible for purchasing everyone’s food, may carry and prepare group meals for the trip with that freeing up space in the mechanic/recovery vehicle for more tools and recovery related gear. Smaller vehicles, limited space, specialize responsibilities. All vehicles must carry basic individual necessities and fuel to cover at least 400 miles, with specialized gear distributed to other vehicles. OTAC will be limited to a total of 5 vehicles per trip.
Responsible for the safety and successful completion of the OTAC, the trip leader makes decisions as to the trip pace, direction, and more based on recommendations from the rest of the team.
Our navigation specialist for the trip has it all mapped out from beginning to end including alternates. A mapping/gps expert, any changes or roadblocks we run into will be successfully rerouted from the navigation position.
This certified and trained individual focuses on and packs for any medical “what if” that may occur during the trip including any individual preexisting conditions that other participants may have.
The foundation of any successful overland trip is great food and the adventure cook for the journey focuses on providing just that using easily prepared recipes for group consumption.
Even the most prepared and well maintained vehicles may run into issues or need to be recovered during a trip like OTAC and our Mechanic/Recovery expert is prepared with the knowledge and tools to handle anything that comes their way.
OTAC tells a story and the media rig is there to capture it. Pre trip interviews, action footage, commentary, and post trip editing are all part of the game here for someone who is passionate about video work.
OTAC is designed to be completed by a small group of likeminded individuals to keep the adventure going smoothly. This trip will be limited to 5 vehicles and participant families.
