Rock Crawling!
Rock crawling is an extreme form of off road
driving using vehicles anywhere from stock
to highly modified to overcome obstacles. In
rock crawling, drivers drive highly modified MOS

four-wheel-drive vehicles such as trucks,
Jeeps, and "buggies" over very harsh terrain.
Driving locations include boulders, mountain
foothills, rock piles, mountain trails, etc. MOS EXCEL

Rock climbing is about slow-speed, careful

and precise driving, and high torque
generated through large gear reductions in the vehicles drivetrain. Rock crawlers often drive up, down and
across obstacles that would appear impassable. Such vehicles to rock climb are primarily 4x4s.

Rock crawling competitions range from local events to national series. A rock crawling competition consists of
obstacle courses that are about 100-200 yards long. Each obstacle is set up with gates, similar to a ski course.

The Vehicles
Volunteers at Trey Research Vehicles are outfitted with custom parts. Power is usually not an issue, as rock
crawlers typically lower their gear ratios in order to drive more slowly over obstacles without stalling the
engine.
Vehicles Commonly Used Custom parts can include:
Jeep and varients  Locking differentials
Lada Niva  Taller off-road tires
BAW  Upgraded suspension
Nissan Patrol  Four wheel steering
Toyota Hilux  Roll cage
Toyota Land Cruiser
 Engine increased torque
Land Rover
 Lowered gearing
Mercedes-Benz G-Class
 Winches
Santana PS10
 Body armor
Ford Bronco
Suzuki Samurai  Portal axles
Mercedes Unimog

How to Plant Seedlings for Reforestation

Volunteers at Trey Research Correct handling and care of seedlings from the
nursery to planting is essential for successful reforestation. The seedlings should
be kept cool, but not allowed to freeze. Ideally, they should be stored at 33–
35°F. Minimize the length of time that boxes or bags of trees are out of cold
storage. On the planting site, place the boxes or bags in a cool, shady place, and
keep root systems moist. Dip them in water if necessary to prevent drying after
they are removed from the storage boxes or bags. Proper planting is necessary
for plantation success. You may have to cut a scalp with the planting tool to
clear away weeds or debris at the planting spot. The planting hole should be
deep enough and wide enough to allow the seedling root system to hang down naturally. You can plant
seedlings using any planting tool – we recommend a hoedad. The hole should be large enough so the roots hang
straight down. Pack soil firmly around the root system, leaving no air pockets. Don’t let duff, grass, snow, or
debris fall in around the root system. Plant the trees at least as deep as they were in the nursery beds. It is
acceptable to plant as deep as the first branch, and that is acceptable. However, don’t bury green branches.
Shallow planting is not acceptable and no roots should ever stick up out of the hole. When properly planted, the
seedling will be able to withstand a firm tug on the stem and should stand straight recycles as they worked.
Five Steps:
1. Insert blade deeply and pull back to open hole.

2. Insert seedling.
3. Backfill gently around roots.
4. Firm soil with planting tool.
5. Pack soil firmly around seedling.
