What You Get With Each Event
Partner with one event or several. Every event partnership includes:
Logo on the Event Banner
Your company logo is printed on the partner banner displayed at the event and seen in the photos and video.
Digital Content Library
A Dropbox link to the event's photos and video, yours to use on your website, social media, catalogs and ads.
Logo in the Event Video
Your logo appears on screen in the event's video on the BAD Outdoors YouTube channel.
Why $622?
The 6 is for "I've got your six," meaning we've got your back. The 22 stands for the 22 veterans a day lost to suicide. Every event partnership carries both. 24 events are planned for 2027, and partner spots are limited.Where Your $622 Goes
Partners fund every trip. Veterans don't pay a thing.
Veterans Pay Nothing
Travel, lodging, meals, licenses, permits and any gear they need are all covered. All a veteran has to do is show up.
60+ Nonprofits Pick the Veterans
We work with more than 60 veteran nonprofits that help identify the veterans who go on each trip, and we bring awareness to the work they do.
Partners Fund Every Trip
Every 2027 event is made possible by businesses like yours, and every partner is part of the story we tell.
Why TV to Social Matters to You
BAD Outdoors started on national TV. Here's why we moved to social media, and why it's better for your business.
A TV Episode

- Seen by whoever is watching at that moment
- Then it's gone
Your Logo on YouTube

- Found through search and suggested videos
- Keeps getting seen for years

BAD Outdoors is not a nonprofit. We're a video production and media company. When you partner with an event, you're investing in marketing: your logo on the banner and in the event video, and photos and video your business can use. For the vast majority of companies, that makes it a marketing expense.*
*We don't give tax advice. Please check with your accountant about how your business can treat this expense.
One Event or Several
Partner with the event closest to your customers, the species your business fits best, or as many events as you'd like.

Beyond Active Duty
Why We Do What We Do
BAD Outdoors started airing on national TV in 2015 and concluded our last episodes in 2025. Now we're taking that same passion to social media, and putting veterans at the center of it. Every partner helps us get more veterans into the outdoors.
Get veterans outdoors
Hunting, fishing and time in the woods and on the water, with every trip covered for the veterans who attend.
Reconnect with other veterans
Camp, meals and long sits build the kind of bond a lot of veterans miss after leaving the service.
Fresh air and sunlight
Unplugged time outside: fresh air, vitamin D and a break from everyday life.
Lift up veteran nonprofits
We use our platform to share and promote the nonprofits doing amazing work for veterans and their families.
Questions Partners Ask
Is it tax-deductible?
BAD Outdoors is not a nonprofit. We're a video production and media company, so partnering with an event is a marketing expense, not a donation. For most companies that's treated as a business marketing expense, but we don't give tax advice. Please check with your accountant.
Can I pick my event?
Yes. Choose any of our 24 events in 2027, or partner with several. Use "Find the event near you" above to see the events closest to your customers.
When do I get the content?
Within 90 days after the event, you'll get a Dropbox link to the event's photos and video, and the event video with your logo goes up on the BAD Outdoors YouTube channel.
What if the event moves?
Event dates are approximate. If an event is rescheduled for weather, safety or other reasons, your partnership and everything you get carry over to the new date. If we can't reschedule within 12 months, you choose a credit toward another event or a full refund.
How many veterans go on each trip?
It depends on the event. Hunting trips are kept smaller, usually 4 to 6 veterans, and fishing trips can bring 17 to 21. Each event page shows the number.
Is the price going up in January?
No. Every event partnership is $622 for the whole 2027 Partner Season.
Christmas in October
Christmas in October is a separate, virtual event that takes place online across our social media. It's open to any company that wants to participate. Contact us for more details.
