Wild Times at the PNW Survival Games: PNWBUSHCRAFT's Adventure as Sponsors
Greetings, outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers,
We at PNWBUSHCRAFT recently had the opportunity to sponsor the PNW Survival Games in Oregon's wilderness. As makers of handcrafted outdoor gear, we were excited to support this event that showcases practical outdoor skills. We're pleased to share our experience through a three-part video series that captures the essence of this challenging competition.
Our videos offer an inside look at the event:
Video 1: "Behind the Scenes: PNW Survival Games Prep in Oregon's Riverfront Wilderness"
This first video takes you behind the scenes on setup day. We introduce you to the participants preparing for the challenges ahead, the judges overseeing the competition, and show the atmosphere as camps are established along the riverbank. It's a unique glimpse into the preparation for such an intensive event.
Video 2: "Day 1 at PNW Survival Games: PNWBUSHCRAFT's Insider Look"
Day one of the competition was filled with intense challenges. Participants demonstrated their skills in shelter building, weapon crafting, and fire starting. These tasks tested their ability to use natural materials effectively in outdoor scenarios. The day concluded with a communal BBQ and live music, fostering a sense of camaraderie among competitors.
Video 3: "PNW Survival Games Finale: Medics in Action - PNWBUSHCRAFT's Last Day"
Our final video focuses on the Medic Challenge, where contestants showcased their ability to handle simulated emergency situations in the wild. We observed participants treating mock injuries, improvising medical equipment, and creating transport solutions for 'injured' team members. This challenge highlighted the importance of first aid skills in outdoor settings.
We had to head home but our friend Patrick shared his photos of the trapping and Raft Building challenges that finished off the event.
As sponsors, we at PNWBUSHCRAFT were honored to provide some of our handcrafted gear as prizes for the event. While our equipment wasn't used in the challenges themselves, we were inspired by the ingenuity and skill displayed by the participants. Their performances reminded us of the practical needs our gear is designed to meet.
These videos offer valuable insights for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you're experienced in bushcraft or simply interested in outdoor skills, you'll find something of interest in our coverage.
