Peep the Peeprian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of Cola, I order you to cease any and all diabetes activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension." -- Dr. Raymond Warrior

Stories of years past whisper in the hills, and the great path once again calls.

Many had been lost there, returning changed. Rumors of a ghost, speaking in concise but mystical terms of building men.

The stranger was right, he had been watching. It was time again to gather and explore. To grow and learn.

Great obstacles await those who would dare venture to the Wasteland. Deep ravines, vehicle destroying monoliths left by prior civilizations.

Who will brave the challenges to arrive, only to face the unknown? Will they conquer, or be conquered?

Breakdown of this years slot assignment:

15 Staff slots and sponsor slots.

10 slots for WEST Top 10, including Top 2 NVG and Women from West events. First come, first served.

25 slots for Cola Vets, any event. Randomly drawn after signups close.

15 slots for noobs/+1s.

10 random draws, 5 video essays which can include chug attempts. Chug, make videos. Make all the videos.

1st time to Cola Warrior? You need to be sponsored/recommended by an existing Cola Vet attending the event. If a Cola Vet's +1 violates the rules and is asked to leave, they (the Cola Vet) may be asked to accompany their +1’s departure. If you're a noob without a Cola Vet sponsor please contact me via PM.

Standby will be arranged by timestamp on the signup form.

Signups close February 20th and will be posted for the final time on February 25th. After that, your in is by video challenge. Chug a 2 liter, make it interesting. Group response will decide.

When: 21-23 March 2024. Note: on the signup screen, if you sign up to be staff, you must be on-site for setup and early runs prior to event.

Where: White Hills, Arizona in the Mojave Wasteland! The turn-off is 50-70 miles from McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. And about another 40 minute drive on dirt roads. A decent clearance vehicle is urged but 4WD is not necessary. Oh, and please note: there is no cell phone service for a couple of miles. This means that during an awkward silence in a conversation, one can't just whip out their gadget. I highly recommend anyone without a truck to park at the rendezvous point and be shuttled in, also, for those heading in please check the RP for people and give a ride to anyone you can. There were no casualties in 2015 and 2017, so things should be fine...right? Maybe a few tires were sacrificed in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 - ok please aim to miss the big sharp rocks. Maps will be emailed as we get closer to the event. There will be 2 travel paths outlined, 1 more direct from Las Vegas for experienced drivers. 1 more direct from Kingman and better accommodates oversized vehicles (Dolan Springs)

Local accommodations: There are 3 gas stations on Highway 93 within a mile of the White Hills turn-off. There is a cafe and some small fast food spots. There is also now one at Stockton Hill Rd. & Pierce Ferry Rd. Only expect these places to have the basics as far as supplies. If you would like to stay in civilization and just drive out for the events, Las Vegas/Henderson/Boulder City is your closest place for that on the Nevada side, and Kingman is almost equal distance on the Arizona side.

Sleeping arrangements on-site: People have successfully brought travel trailers & small motorhomes, if you have one that meets the clearance criteria, feel free to bring it. Your recommended route with larger vehicles and trailers is through Dolan Springs. Otherwise, please pack whatever camping gear in the manner you are accustomed. Tent, sleeping bag, and I recommend a tarp to place your tent on. If you have a pop-up shade structure, I recommend bringing it. It hasn't been terribly hot during the day in years past - however, shade is nice and helps prevent sunburns.

Restrooms: Porta-potties on site.

Food: With enough donations, we plan to have meals. Once an attendee list is finalized and a count determined - we'll know if it's dirt mixed with water or cooked food. Plan to have a few things with you to munch on if you got busy and missed a meal. Chefs are volunteers and don't cook to order.
Weds - roughing it, not many normally arrive this day
Thurs - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
Fri - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
Sat - Breakfast Lunch

Donations: There is no entry fee. That being said - organizing meals, latrines and incidentals take bucks. Averaged out over attendees is around $75 per person. Please give in what way you can so we can have the things.

10 minutes to complete the obstacles.
5 minute penalty if ak47 field strip isn't complete

Your cleared/safe rifle, pistol, magazines, eye & ear protection, and chug must be carried from the Peep/AK station to the range.

Night run only: 5-minute penalty for visible light ND, 10-minute penalty for prolonged use.

Closing Ceremony:

Plan to attend. If you don't - items you may have been awarded will go back into the general prize pool. The only exception is a designated proxy who collects things on your behalf. Staff is already busy with things, so please don't request this of them.

Note:

1. The usual two pistol mags, two rifle mags rule is in effect with no capacity limit. To balance that, you only have 10 minutes from the first round fired to complete the course of fire. To avoid tearing up the nifty reactive steel targets, please don't bring calibers that exceed 3500 fps at the muzzle or 3500 ft/lbs of energy. Due to fire risk (really) and general liability, no ammo that attracts a magnet can be used.

Other Stuff:

Questions are great, but please keep an eye on this original post (OP) for the latest and greatest info.
This is a family event. We look forward to seeing the next generation of Cola Warriors advance through the ranks. We will have a kids course, which will be a miniaturized version of the regular one. Depending on age, we will use Airsoft or .22LR. If you've never been to a CW event, you won't be disappointed, these are the greatest human beings you could ever hope to puke with.

Remember to be cognizant of all state and local laws and edicts. Be courteous to those who desire safe social distancing and masks/sanitizing.

Combat class requirements:
Level 3+ special threat hard plates, front and rear
2 rifle mags with ammo
2 pistol mags with ammo
At least 1 quart of water
Medkit that consists of at least a tourniquet and combat bandage

All must be worn the entire duration and you need to have all of it on (minus used ammo) at the completion of the chug.

In.  Form submitted.  Hard to believe this is the 10th year already.

Submitted...

In. Can help in the kitchen and other tasks.

Edit: Form submitted.

In.  first time doing West after moving out here.

Filled out the form.  hoping to be there on thurs afternoon.

Since you said the road is a bit rough would it be recommended to bring my Wrangler or would my F150 be fine?

Either one of those choices would be fine. If you have off-roading experience it can be done in a sedan, just not recommended due to ground clearance.

Yay

In and form submitted!!

Really interested, working out dates.  Would be shooting the gap between baby shower and other family commits.  Will know today/tomorrow if I can pull it off.

In.

Bump

Seems like you have time

All signed up. Just gotta grab a plane ticket to Vegas. Anyone happen to have a backseat open and passing through? I’ll have snacks and maybe so salvage yard treasures

I'm sitting this one out, guys.  It's going to be weird since this will be the first West I've missed (ignoring the COVID year). Enjoy your suffering, warriors!

Meh. Slowjamistan is better.

Ok folks I am seriously considering making legit ukraine  pergioes? There is a certain way to eat these as they need to be fried in butter in cast iron skillet to properly enjoy them, it can't be rushed. If I make I can make them and freeze over a few weeks time?

What say the hive?

Heck yeah!

I missed the pierogies at keystone 2 by like literally 2 minutes and am still sad about it.

My man...
