    Default Expo 101 Day

    Heres some photos of our day leading and training Jeep JK newcomers in Central Ontario lowland swamp areas.



















    It was a great day with a lot of great people all eager to get out and see what their Jeeps were capable of.

    Some great images.

    What system do you use for standardized visual marshaling?

    Thanks!

    Thats a term I have never heard, hahaha, seems like a fancy work-up of the word "spotting" to me

    Although not clearly shown in that picture we use the Canadian Military vehicle course hand signals for spotting, which I believe are generaly "universal", however, not common among the general "wheeler" community who prefer to yell "Whoa whoa whoa, ok, go!! No!! faster!! go go go!!....WHOA!!!!"

    We generally get into the more precise spotting signals when on more techinical terrain, that particular picture was simply an issue of the driver being unsure if a tree was too close to his driver door.

    Generally speaking though signals are large full-arm signals, left, right, stop, slow, move back, move forward, move back left/right, move forward left/right, lockers on, 1st/2nd gear............. play dead, roll over, sit up, speak.....good dog

    Is there an online summary of those signals somewhere?

    I had a quick look around, all I could find was US Military signals, but they mostly involved combat signals for drivers that all ended in some kind of firing action......

    Heres a good Canadian signal.....
