I think offroad driving techniques really aren't that different for automatics vs. manuals. Brake-throttle-modulation techniques used for wheeling automatic transmissions are comparable to feathering the clutch in manuals. There are times I love the control of a manual (usually offroad), and times I wish I had an automatic (like when I go to pay a parking garage attendent located on a steep grade and some A-hole pulls up 2 inches behind me).
