The Primal Man Project *
You take care of your team. We take care of the rest.
This isn’t about being the toughest guy in the room — it’s about becoming a stronger, more capable version of yourself. Over 8 events, you’ll learn real-world survival skills, push your limits, and build lasting confidence alongside a brotherhood of men on the same mission. Come to as many events as you can — there’s no pressure to make them all. Each event gives you the chance to tackle hands-on challenges, get outside your comfort zone, and grow in ways that matter. You’ll build resilience, sharpen your instincts, and walk away with the kind of confidence that carries over into every part of life. If you’re ready for something real, something that pushes you in the right ways — this is your invitation

What Not to Expect:
Don’t expect Navy SEAL training. This is for the average active guy to attend.
Don’t expect it to be a walk in the park either.
Don’t expect for the instructors to yell and scream at you. Your pace is decided within your team. With the challenges presented, every man’s strength and weakness will be revealed. This is where we connect & grow.
Don’t expect to be a one man team…as that is not a team.
Don’t expect yourself to be as fit as you once were, just show up and be the best teammate and student you can be TODAY.

FAQ’s

A: No. You just need the willingness to show up and push yourself. It’s not a military bootcamp—it’s about growth, not perfection.

Q: Where is this held?
A: Haywood County, NC. Directions and details will be emailed after sign-up.
Q: What if it rains?
