ETA



Cola Warrior NW Big Igloo was an great time. Driving up with @AllAlphas and @Wildernesstom -a pleasure. Good conversation and pleasant company. Made the 13 hours from Reno to event feel like 4. Really helped break up the 20 hour drive from S NV. Getting all the presales and sponsor thank you swag transported wouldn't have happened without their help. Thanks guys!!



Stopping in Reno was excellent, thanks to the Zanders for hosting me and custom delicious food care of Bankie. Really glad I took extra time off to stop and hang out. Now I need more kitchen things, I want to make Curry like you Bankie!!



Thanks to @BMSMB and @Splat2013 for hosting and running things. A lot of work goes on prior to, during and after the event that isn't seen. Dealing with power line things and a whole list of logistics. Thank you!! Its a beautiful spread you guys have out there. Range plans look awesome and the view breathtaking. Felt like a home away from home, thanks for being so accommodating!



Big props to @BMSMB and @Splat2013 for a challenging well balanced course. Burn out obstacles that were doable for most but really wore down strength and stamina.

@ORjeepguy obstacle 5 was glorious. Perceived by some as easy... until they had to balance after 4 other obstacles... some while the beam was iced over! Glorious.

The range was stellar! Targets at distances and sizes that taught lessons and tested shooters. Know zero, be able to shoot offhand, know drops and wind. Be precise with pistol or suffer. Attention to detail, shoot distance by order or dont get hits counted.



@ORjeepguy and @Calicontractor on staff things - really enjoyed your company. Hard workers and diligent! This event had less staff than some and you really rocked it! It's an exhausting job, but well worth it in my opinion

Everyone that pitched in, thanks!! @Shelbysguns @AllAlphas and others who helped at the range and with resetting - it was a smooth machine thanks to all the helping hands. One of my favorite features of the Cola wars - people jump in with both feet helping where needed.



Thoroughly happy watching runners on course, seeing learning occur and mettle tested. Lots of great camaraderie and grit. No drama. Really great event.



Thanks to all the wonderful sponsors, who support our sugary shenanigans. I love that masculinity, grit, perseverance and wherewithall are encouraged and built upon at Cola Warrior. Contrary to the gross societal push of "toxic masculinity." Do hard things, be strong, dont stop, dont give up. Grateful to the sponsors who see that and support because of it - among a variety of great motivations.



To all who braved the perceived snow laden Igloo - well done. Obstacle 0 is a bear, and the thought of deep snow sifted many from the event. Conditions were interesting on the way up, low hanging fog for hours. Black ice and poor road conditions ... pucker moments. Saturday's looming storm caused concern for those traveling, but let up enough for closing ceremonies and bittersweet goodbyes. Big feels seeing old friends and making new ones. Grateful for technology to stay in touch over long distances, and to meet so many great people. I look forward to the next war, the fires, conversations and good company. As always, the chugging and emesis.



Until next time



Do the hard things. Because. Cola bros best bros
