Surviving in the wilderness isn’t a game, but learning the skills necessary to do it can still be plenty of fun.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Tony Peniche, creator of the PNW Survival Games, talks about his attempts to turn some basic survival skills into big entertainment.
Peniche’s games take hardcore survivalists and inexperienced people through skills like building shelter, making fire and putting together a raft, seeing who can execute at the highest level. An annual competition held in Oregon, the games may soon get their own show on a streaming service, bringing a much bigger audience to the local event.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
- The unlikely origin story of the PNW Survival Games.
- Who are the participants in these events?
- What would the TV show version of the games look like?
- How you can join (or just watch) the competition.
