LEARN AND TEST YOUR SKILLS IN GRIZZLY COUNTRY
We kick off the Traction Series in an undisclosed remote Montana location. Bring your compass and turn off your cell phone as we’re leaving the niceties and luxuries of domesticated life behind. Join us for two days as we navigate varied terrain, learn about backcountry survival and defense, and make lasting friendships. Trained experts will be present to instruct participants during the event. In addition, participating brands are invited to collaborate with us to authentically tell their stories and put their products to use.
