2nd Annual AR PBCC: Hosted by ZAC Outdoors

Hosted the Arkansas Polar Bear Camping Club was a unforgettable experience. From unexpected turnout to wild winds, epic trail rides, and more chili than we knew what to do with, every moment was packed with adventure.

Off-Roading at Its Finest

The off-road trail rides were nothing short of amazing. We tackled rugged terrain, navigated challenging obstacles, and explored some of the most beautiful backcountry Arkansas has to offer. Whether you were in a fully built rig or a stock vehicle, everyone found a trail that tested their skills and delivered an adrenaline rush.

Way More People Than Expected!

What started as a solid plan turned into an overwhelming success. We had way more people show up than anticipated, which only made the experience better. The camaraderie, the laughter, and the shared love of cold (mostly windy) -weather camping brought everyone together in a way we didn’t expect but totally appreciated.

Chili, Cornbread, and Wind… So Much Wind

Our highlight of the event had to be the chili cook-off. Everyone who participated (two people LOL) brought their A-game, and the variety of flavors was incredible. And of course, you can’t have chili without cornbread. Let’s just say—there was so much cornbread. But the wind? Oh man. If you didn’t stake it down, it was probably halfway to Oklahoma by the end of the night. Tents, chairs, and even a few hats fell victim to the relentless gusts, but it only added to the adventure.

An Event to Remember

Despite the challenges, this event was one of the best yet. Amazing people, great food, thrilling trails, and memories that will last a lifetime. If you missed it, don’t worry—there’s always next year. And if you were there, well, you know just how incredible it was.

Until next time, stay wild and keep exploring!
