Held in Savannah, Ga., Contestants Must Put Survival Skills to the Ultimate Test to Win a $25,000 Cash Prize
SAVANNAH, Ga., June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BattlBox has united over 150,000 like-minded survivalists and outdoor enthusiasts since 2015, fostering an active community of adventure seekers. Today, the brand announced BattlGames, a fierce, two-day survival competition designed to test the skills of the most passionate survivalists. Each round, two survivalists will be eliminated until the final matchup, where one is eliminated and the last contestant standing wins. Held in Savannah, Ga. on September 13 and 14, contestants will gather at 17 South Rod & Gun Club for a chance to win $25,000 cash.
BattlGames participants will showcase their survival skills through five heart-pounding, high-stakes, elimination-style challenges:
- Event 1: Land Navigation – Contestants will navigate Georgia's dense woods, using only a map and compass to find various predesignated hidden points.
- Event 2: Set Up Camp – Contestants, paired in teams of two, must collaborate to set up a campsite. They will need sharp communication skills to pitch a tent, start a fire, and purify water swiftly. The slowest team will not advance to the next round, adding pressure for the next challenge.
- Event 3: Medical Emergency – Competitors must handle a medical emergency, stabilizing a "hemorrhaging" casualty using provided equipment and transporting them to a safe zone.
- Event 4: Knife Skills – Led by Doug Marcaida, martial artist, renowned TV personality and head judge of Forged in Fire, competitors face tests slicing through rope, fruit, paper, water bottles, and a ballistic zombie dummy. Marcaida is the head judge, deciding who advances to the final round.
- Event 5: Return to Safety and Engage a Target – In the final showdown, the last two contestants face off head-to-head. They'll swiftly pack camp, load up a kayak, cross water, then use a firearm to hit a target. First hit wins the BattlGames championship.
"Our aim with BattlGames is to create a milestone where our community can come together and share their passion," said John Roman, CEO at BattlBox. "With thousands of expected applicants, we look forward to bringing people from all over the country to Savannah, united by their love for the outdoors.
