Situations that require survival training might strike at any time. As a result, you must be prepared and able to respond quickly to any of them. You could get lost in the woods, be involved in a crash, or be the victim of a natural disaster. We're presenting a course that not only teaches you tactics and equips you with gear, but also provides you confidence in your knowledge and abilities to respond appropriately in a survival emergency!
Because the entire course takes place in the wilderness, this survival course is ideal for learning how to live and survive in the woods. Learn how to navigate through difficult situations and appreciate nature in a new light. Everything you require is right in front of you, waiting to be used.
During this four-day session, you will study several strategies and get the opportunity to put them into practice. This extended program allows you to put theory into practice and address little details that may make a difference.
You build confidence in the outdoors while being supervised by your survival coach. You gain the ability to feel safe in a survival situation in a wild area and to trust your understanding.

What a great experience! We went to a nature reserve in a minivan, hiked through the forest and enjoyed beautiful nature. We spotted many roe deers and hares on the way. Finally, at the end of the tour we were lucky enough to meet a giant moose! Unforgettable moment :). And the guide was amazing! So funny and knowledgable.

Our first kayaking experience and it couldn't be better! Alex was an amazing guide who explained everything well. He also prepared lunch for us on an open fire in the middle of the day (highly appreciated the possibility of a vegan option!). Nature in Sweden is absolutely breathtaking, we enjoyed a full day on water and made a few breaks on little abondoned islands where we jumped into the water for a quick swim and hiked to a little rock for a view. I can only recommend this tour :).

We had a fantastic day kayaking, our group were great and our guide was really friendly and helpful. The island we stopped on for food was picturesque and our cooked meal was delicious! If you like water and a fun time, I’d highly recommend this trip, well worth the money!
