Blindfolded. Dropped in the wilderness.
Find your way back.
No guide. No support. Just you.
Request Your DropSimple rules. Serious consequences.
We inspect your gear before departure. GPS? Phone? Fine. We just note it for the record - and so will your Hall of Fame entry. What you bring is part of your story.
Goggles on. You won't know the direction, the altitude, or how long you flew. You won't know if you're in the Cascades or the Boundary Waters until the helicopter lifts off and leaves you.
Helicopter touches down. Goggles come off. You're handed the Pelican case. The rotors spin up. You watch it disappear over the ridgeline. Then it's just you and everything you actually know.
Make it back to civilization under your own power. Mail us the Pelican case. If the tamper tag is intact, your name goes on the Hall of Fame. Coordinates, kit list, distance, time. All of it.
Inside: a GPS rescue beacon with a tamper-proof seal. It works anywhere on Earth. One press and help is coming.
Your lifeline. Use it if you need to. We won't judge you for staying alive.
But if you break that seal, everyone will know. Your Hall of Fame entry will say so. The community will see it. That's not a punishment - it's a record. The honor system made physical.
Every successful return. Documented. Permanent.
Kit lists are public. The community decides what's impressive. We just keep the record.
The difficulty is real. So is the experience.
Yes. All drops are conducted with proper permits, liability waivers, and compliance with federal and state land use regulations. We operate in permitted wilderness areas and coordinate with relevant land management agencies. You'll sign a comprehensive liability waiver before your drop date is confirmed.
You carry the beacon. One press and a rescue team is dispatched. We carry liability insurance and all participants sign a full waiver acknowledging the risks. The Pelican case is your lifeline - we want you to come home. What you do with the tamper tag after that is between you and your Hall of Fame entry.
Yes. We check your kit before departure and log everything you bring. That list becomes part of your Hall of Fame entry. The community will see what tools you used. Some people think that matters. We don't judge either way - but we do keep the record honest.
A GPS rescue beacon with a tamper-proof seal. Open the case and the beacon works. Break the tamper seal and we know it was opened. Activate the beacon and help is on the way. We don't penalize people for using it - survival is the point. But the record will reflect it.
Yes. They're yours. Your Hall of Fame entry will show them publicly. Some people put them on a hat. Some get them tattooed. We've seen both. The coordinates are part of your story - they belong to you.
Make it back to civilization under your own power. Mail us the Pelican case with the tamper tag intact. We verify, photograph, and document your entry - name, photo (your choice), drop coordinates, kit list, distance, and time. It goes up and it stays up.
We screen every applicant. The Standard tier requires demonstrated wilderness navigation and backcountry camping competence. The Extreme and Expedition tiers require advanced skills and we'll have a detailed conversation about your background before accepting your booking. This isn't beginner friendly and we won't pretend otherwise.
This is an interest form. We'll reach out to discuss your experience level, schedule, and confirm your booking. Not everyone who applies will be accepted.
