We offer courses in Bushcraft & Survival. Our courses are based on your own experience, knowledge and preferences, ranging from "basic living in the nature" to more advanced "hard core survival" or if you are up for it - a real Survival Challenge. The courses are from one day to a full week and have the theme Survival & Bushcraft knowledge. You will learn how to survive if you find yourself in a vulnerable situation until rescue arrives or you yourself find your way home. The course also teaches you bushcraft skills for example how to create a pleasant and safe existence when you are out in the woods, whether it is on a hiking, fishing or hunting trip or something else entirely.
