Wade May

Hi! I'm Wade. After 43 years as a pilot, split evenly between flying fighters for the Air Force and Boeing 737s for the airlines, my feet are firmly planted on the ground. Seems I spent a lot of my flying time looking out the cockpit window, thinking, "Yep, I could drive that trail." My trips range from a few days to a month. For years most trips were solo in my silver 4Runner named Bullit. We ranged over all the southwest exploring remote places and trying to get as much dirt under the wheels as possible. Now, the Power Wagon named Brutus tows my Boreas EOS 12 to beautiful and remote areas. Occasionally I get in hiking, backpacking, and bushcraft as well. Sharing my experiences as a member of the Trails Offroad crew and instructing at Overland Expo are true pleasures. Hope to see you on the trail soon.
