Old school meets overland!

At Ridgeback Guide Service, we rely on a blend of digital mapping apps and classic paper maps to plan and navigate our adventures. While tech is great, there’s something essential—and reliable—about a Delorme atlas, a compass, and knowing how to use them.

Batteries die, signals drop, but map and compass skills never go out of style.

Stay sharp. Stay found. See you on the trail.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable time on the NC Outer Banks Beach Excursion! From ocean sunrises to sandy trails and fires under the stars—your energy, enthusiasm, and camaraderie made this trip truly special.

Until next time, keep the tires aired down and the adventure spirit high!

We love our Hilift Jacks!

Our friends at Ridgeback Guide Service () in New England know that when the trails get tough, having the right recovery gear makes all the difference.

Their team shared: "Hi-Lift® remains the gold standard for farm beam-style jacks, and proper use of quality equipment keeps us moving in sticky situations."

We’re proud to be part of their trusted trail tools.

Get yours at a Hi-Lift® Jack dealer near you or at one of the many online retailers. Also available through the Hi-Lift® Store – LINK IN BIO!

Crossing water to find the wild—Recon’s headed to the island, where the real adventure begins. ⛴️🌲

Can’t wait to put this to use on our NC outer Banks Beach Excursion coming up later this week. The GXT67 Pro will insure clear communications with clients while adventuring.

Man, machine and mountains. No pavement, no problem. These rigs were built for the wild — and on 4x4 Day, we don’t just drive… we conquer.

Yesterday I had the chance to swing by in Pennsylvania to top off my Power Tanks. They’re an official dealer and refill station, making it a perfect stop to stay trail-ready.

If you’re in the area and need a refill, go see Bill at Hardline 4x4—he’ll get you set up and ready to roll for your next adventure!

Thank you to Power Tank, TYRI Lights, Main Line Overland, Don Bray, Robert Brown, Jason Daemon and Go Fox Adventures for coming out for a fun evening of food, drinks and conversations. We appreciate you taking the time to spend with us.

📦🚙 Unboxing Some Trail Essentials! 🎁

We finally got a chance to open up the boxes that have been stacking up in the garage, and there’s some awesome gear inside!

🔹 hooked us up with some great GMRS radios and promo materials for our clients. We’ll also be teaching a GMRS class on one of our overland trips this year—because solid communication is key when you’re off the grid!

🔹 sent us some fresh jacks for Recon and Bee—because when the trails get tough, having the right recovery gear makes all the difference. Hi-Lift remains the gold standard for farm beam-style jacks, and proper use of quality equipment keeps us moving in sticky situations.

Huge thanks to our partners and supporting companies for keeping us adventure-ready! 🙌

Boxes have been piling up while we have been under the weather. Time to get these unboxed and sort.
