Join the thrilling 10th anniversary celebration of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival, as they present The SOS Challenge, a three-day survival skills event that welcomes participants of all ages and experience levels. This exhilarating adventure takes place in the breathtaking mountains of Upton, Maine, offering a real-life setting to learn and master essential survival skills.
Throughout the weekend, participants will immerse themselves in an intensive program that pushes their limits. Please note that this class requires a level of commitment, as attendees will sleep in self-built shelters, rely on campfires for warmth, and adapt to a non-traditional meal schedule.
The action-packed itinerary begins on Friday, where participants set up their campsites before diving into a comprehensive curriculum. Learn the ancient art of fire building by rubbing two sticks together, hone knife skills, construct primitive weapons, and acquire various survival techniques that will prepare you for an overnight excursion.
Saturday introduces a series of thrilling survival skill challenges that keep you on your toes. Engage in target practice, conquer fire-related obstacles, and more, as the challenges intentionally maintain an element of surprise. As night falls, participants will face an exciting "lost in the woods" scenario, putting their knowledge and resourcefulness to the ultimate test. Build a survival camp, start a fire using natural materials, purify water, construct a shelter, and tackle other critical survival tasks.
The event concludes on Sunday with a ceremony, prize distribution, and an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable journey. Participants are responsible for bringing their own gear, including the OEWS Complete Survival Kit, camping equipment, cooking utensils, a poncho (rain jacket and pants are acceptable), and appropriately warm clothing.
Don't miss out on this unforgettable adventure at The SOS Challenge. Secure your spot now for an experience that will leave you empowered and equipped to face any wilderness scenario. Ticket price for this extraordinary event is $400. Remember, survival is not a game - it's a skill to be honed.
