Piked Antler’s “Primal Man Project” & “Women of the Woods” are hands-on survival experiences built for CrossFitters who value function, intensity, and tribe. You show up, get the game plan, learn real skills like shelter-building, basic wilderness medical, fire, and navigation—then test it all in a fast-paced team challenge. It’s real-world functional fitness, leveled up through grit, community, and purpose.
