BUCK KNIVES SIGNS ON AS PRESENTING SPONSOR OF SPORTSMAN CHANNEL’S AWARD-WINNING SERIES “DROPPED: PROJECT YUKON”
Post Falls, ID – Buck Knives is proud to be the presenting sponsor of Sportsman Channel’s award-winning reality and lifestyle series, Dropped: Project Yukon, and accompany brothers Chris and Casey Keefer on their 30-day journey through the unforgiving landscape of the Yukon. Eating only what they can shoot or catch, while enduring the most intense environments, the brothers set out through the dangerous Canadian wilderness on an ultimate trek for survival. The men, outfitted with knives by Buck Knives, depend on their skills and attributes for survival.
This documentary-style show brings the reality of the outdoors to the screen and allows viewers to experience the thrill of the hunt and adventure of the battle as Chris and Casey test their true sportsman skills against the harsh wilderness. Armed with only a limited amount of gear, they are dropped into the remote Yukon and forced to use their hunting and survival skills to catch, trap, shoot, and prepare their food. Buck Knives is honored to be the knife of choice for these survivalists.
“We have over 110 years in the field and our roots are in the outdoors,” said Bob George, Director of Sales and Marketing for Buck Knives. “Our knives are developed to withstand the most vigorous situations and to assist our customers when they need it most. It’s an honor to provide Chris and Casey with the tools they need for this adventure, have them attest to the quality of Buck Knives, and be part of this ground-breaking lifestyle and adventure series.”
The first season of the series, Dropped: Project Alaska, received a coveted CableFAX Daily Award for “Best Show or Series: Animal/Nature.” Up against shows airing on National Geographic and the Discovery channel, as well as other cable networks, the award embraces the ground-breaking hit show and the instant popularity this original hunting show has gained.
