Brewha Bushwhack and Boondoggle 2023
April 1, 2023
The Race:
The Brewha Bushwhack is not a race in the traditional sense. We call it a team-based adventure challenge: What you know is more important than how fast you are. The goal is to push the limit of the teams’ diversity of skills and what can be accomplished together. Make your own path, and set your own pace – the Brewha Bushwhack is a challenge based on points, not time.
The gear requirements are small – You will mostly rely on primitive technology and woodlore. Little more than a knife, para-cord, duct tape, or a fire steel will be needed to complete the challenges. Your most important tool is your brain, and best asset your team.
At the end of it all, local breweries will be serving up tasty beverages, and we’ll have an awards ceremony to swap stories and compare scars.

The Festival:
Want to join in the Brewha, but don’t want to race? The Festival is just for you!
There will be several educational clinics throughout the day, hosted by bushcraft & survival professionals, local businesses, outdoor brands, and more!
Topics will cover archery and bowmaking, survival skills, primitive techniques, and more!
There will also be a variety of local businesses, outdoor brands, and sponsors to visit with! Learn about their latest products, test gear, and win or purchase goodies. Bring cash for this, as there is very limited internet at Byrd’s Adventure Center.
