'The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat and Beers' Redefines the Weekend Warrior

Feb 2nd and 4th on Spike TV

Latest Docu-Comedy from Kalikow's Film 101 Productions and Director Scott Allen Perry

NEW YORK, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, February 2nd at 10:00 pm ET/PT and Saturday, February 4th at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT, "The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat and Beers," a testosterone and beer-filled 90-minute feature will air on Spike TV. The docu-comedy, which was screened at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, brings us into the bizarre world of the Outdoorsmen, an annual all-day event in the secluded woodlands of Washington State that combines physical competition with high-speed beer chugging.

"Most of the year, these men are your everyday co-workers, husbands and dads, but for one weekend, they just go nuts," said Nicholas Kalikow, the film's Executive Producer. "Scott did a great job capturing the madness, humor, camaraderie and determination that goes into this completely unique competition."

Teams like Diesel 'N' Dust and The Libertarians compete in challenges with names like "Death Race 3000," "The Iron Man" and "Blind Man's Beer," the latter of which is described as follows: "2 men blindfolded, 4 beers, big circle, find 'em, drink 'em." When they are not competitively chugging beers, they do a lot of tossing -- logs, tires, rocks and perhaps most disturbingly - - hatchets.
