2026 Event Agenda

Friday June 19th

Approximately 8:00pm or after the wrestling tournament: Opening Ritual

As we gather beneath the watchful gaze of the spirits of the wild places, we will create sacred space together to open a weekend devoted to the primal, the sacred, and the untamed. Through drumbeat, voice, smoke, and invocation, we shall call upon Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, to walk beside us with blessing, protection, and sharpened instinct.

We will honor the Summer Solstice, the height of the sun’s fire, and offer reverence to the ancient spirits of the land who stir beneath stone, pine, and mountain wind.

This rite serves as a communal threshold crossing — a setting apart from the ordinary world and an opening into the hallowed wild, where instinct awakens, the spirit is unbound, and the old ways are remembered in flesh, fire, and bone.

Those who feel called are encouraged to bring drums, rattles, bells, or other sacred noisemakers, that their rhythm may join the heartbeat of the circle.

Hosted by Hecates_one & SweetBlood12

‍ ‍11:00 am – approximately 5:00pm: Hook Pull

On the first day of the Hunt, as the drums echo through the mountains and the circle is called beneath the trees, we will gather for the first Social Hook Pull at Pack Vadon Hunt & Viking Feast. In the presence of the spirits that wander the wild places, flesh will become offering in a sacred rite of endurance, trust, release, and transformation. Through steel, breath, and surrender, participants will step beyond fear and into communion with something ancient and primal within themselves.

Join us for a ceremonial rite guided with reverence, intention, and care, as a new tradition is awakened within the wild heart of the Hunt.

Please Note: Participants of the Hook Pull only will be allowed entrance to the campsite beginning at 11:00am. THERE IS AN EXTRA CHARGE FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE HOOK PULL:

1:00 pm: Campsite Opens — General Admission

Please check in and complete registration immediately upon arrival. Staff will direct you to appropriate camping areas.

While there will be plenty of camping space available, campsites are first come, first served. Please do not set up camp outside designated areas.

6:00pm – Until It Ends: Grappling & Wrestling Tournament

For the second year, the Pack Vadon Summer Hunt will unleash the Grappling & Wrestling Tournament. Come to participate, witness, or both, in a spectacle of raw strength, rough play, sweat, struggle, and untamed competitive energy.

Through a series of hard-fought matches, one competitor will rise above the rest to claim the title of champion. Last year’s victor received an unforgettable reward immediately after their final triumph before the cheering crowd. What prize awaits this year’s champion remains hidden… for now.

The night will also feature playful and provocative partner matches, where couples and companions can test one another in contests such as The Great Sock War and Know When to Hold Em. Less about victory and more about chemistry, tension, and wild amusement, these matches invite participants to revel in the energy of playful combat before the gathered pack.

From fierce competition to erotic spectacle, this nonstop evening of grappling, aggression, laughter, sweat, and primal energy promises to be one of the Hunt’s most unforgettable rites of the weekend.

Hosted by PHXGrappler

Post-Ritual: Bonfire Drum Circle

Following the ritual, close out the night gathered around the bonfire for drumming, dancing, celebration, and communion beneath the night sky.

Dancing naked is enthusiastically encouraged.

Saturday June 20th

10:00am - 11:00am: Negotiation Social

All Hunt participants, both Primal and Green Ribbon are required to attend the negotiation social. This is the chance for all Hunt participants to meet each other, review the ribbon colors, make plans for various kinds of engagements during the hunt. This is also the time to make me and the hunt monitors aware of heath concerns we need to be aware of, ie diabetes, heart problems, neurological concerns. This will not necessarily preclude you from participating.

12pm-till its over- Green Ribbon Hunt

This is the hunt for the green ribbons. Meaning a much lower-key less physical hunt. More like a game of tag, the focus is more on strategic evasion and less physical expenditure.

More hiding, less running, no takedowns or rough body play. Anyone vetted to hunt may participate but MUST ADHERE TO GREEN RIBBON ENGAEMENTS. Purple ribbon couples are welcome to participate and engage however they wish.

2pm - 3pm: Primal Rope

Step into the wild and learn the art of rope bondage in a primal outdoor setting. This workshop will explore techniques and considerations for tying safely and effectively in nature, including tree ties, uneven terrain, and environmental awareness. Whether you are completely new to rope or looking to deepen your experience outside the dungeon space, this class offers a hands-on introduction rooted in trust, communication, creativity, and connection to the land. Participants will gain practical skills while experiencing the unique energy that only the wilderness can provide.

Hosted by knottyfutos and TeaseMeTo

3:30pm - 4pm: Pre-Hunt Orientation

REQUIRED FOR HUNT PARTICPANTS TO ATTEND. We will review the Hunt zone, ribbon colors, Medic and Aftercare tents, and safety guidelines.

4:30pm - 5pm: Blooding Ritual

Immediately before the Hunt begins, we will gather for a brief ritual to awaken the primal spirit of the chase. Participants who wish may be marked as hunter or hunted in blood (synthetic) a symbolic blessing. Through drumming, chanting, growling and howling, we will raise energy, stir instinct, and quicken the pulse before the melee begins.

Participants and observers alike are encouraged to bring drums, rattles, horns, or other instruments to add their voice to the ritual and help call the Hunt to life.

5:00pm until it ends: The Pack Vadon Primal Hunt

Welcome to the Hunt, as the sun lowers and the wild begins to stir, we will commence. Hunters and hunted will disappear into the forested terrain of the Tijeras Mountains for a primal game of pursuit, instinct, endurance, and adrenaline. Guided by negotiated limits, safety protocols, and mutual respect, participants will experience the electric tension of tracking, hiding, chasing, escaping, and surrendering beneath the open sky. More than a game, the Hunt is an immersive ritual experience that awakens ancient instincts and invites participants to step beyond the ordinary and into something raw, untamed, and deeply alive.

Hunt Well, Hunt with Honor.

7:00 (approximate): Viking Feast

As night falls and the fires burn bright, we will gather together for the Viking Feast — a communal celebration of food, community and fellowship after the trials of the Hunt.

Beneath torchlight and starlit skies, like Vikings of old, we will share in hearty fare, raised horns, laughter, music, and the bonds forged through shared experience. The Feast is a time to revel, reconnect, and honor both the wildness within us and the primal community that we have created.

Post Hunt: Hunters Mead Toast

Following the Hunt, we will gather together for a celebratory mead toast beneath the watchful eyes of the Gods and Goddesses, honoring the courage, endurance, and spirit shown by all who took part in the chase. Sparkling non-alcoholic wine will also be available so all may join in the celebration. In recognition of a hard-fought Hunt, both a Hunter and a Prey will be crowned as victors, and all participants will be celebrated.

This is also a time for any aftercare, or re-centering, showers will be available to hunt participants only. Aftercare is also available from the Aftercare Queen. This will also be the time when those who choose may enjoy their adult beverages or 420. Neither may be consumed by any hunt participants at any point prior.

Post Feast

No scheduled events but there will be a bonfire for dancing, drumming and revelry.

There will also be several fairy lit groves available for play on a first come first serve basis. Time to practice those tree tying skills!

Sunday June 21st

Time to break camp and head back to the real world, we must be vacated by 12pm.

PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES. Your campsite is your responsibility, we know who is camped where, if you leave your campsite a mess you will not be allowed to camp on site the following year. We will not be providing breakfast but there will be coffee.

Con-drop is real especially after such an adrenaline-fueled weekend, make plans for that.
