Per the Primal Man Project and Women of the Woods, a lot of people worry, “What if I slow the team down?” The truth is, most feel the same way at first. But in reality, when you need a break, others usually welcome it too. These events are tough—but they’re not about being the strongest. They’re about showing up, trying hard, and leaning on each other when it counts. No one’s here to judge you—we’re here to grow together.
These events are meant to challenge you—but not break you. You’ll move, sweat, and face moments that push you outside your comfort zone, but you’ll never be alone. Your team is there to support you, and you’re always in control of how far you go. It’s not bootcamp—it’s about growth, and sometimes the discomfort is where the real breakthroughs happen. Find your pace and enjoy the ride.
Per any other class, they are all a level 3 of 10 on physical intensity or less. 1 being a walk in the park, 10 being extremely challenging.

LOCAL VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WE SUPPORT AND WHO SUPPORT US.
Whether you’re surviving in the forest, the battle field, PTSD or just life, we all need each other at some point. The Warrior Clan and Mountain Man Worx are two local and Veteran owned companies that share a similar mission: To Help, Teach and Protect our community members.
All of us spent time overseas while in the U.S. Military fighting for our country. When we came home, we decided to keep the mission vision going. We all love helping our community members through counsel and teaching, and that is what we do.
