Six-day survival course

Situations requiring survival training come without warning. Therefore you have to be ready and be able to react fast to any of them. You could get lost in the forest, or be the victim of a collision or a natural disaster.

Please send us a request, we would love to help you in any way we can!

We offer a course that teaches you techniques and gives you tools as well as confidence in your knowledge and your abilities to react correctly when a survival situation arises.

This survival course is perfect for you to learn how to live and survive in the forest as the entire course is given in the wilderness.

Learn how to find your way out of tricky situations and learn how to see nature differently. Everything you need is around you, waiting to be used.


HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THIS EXPERIENCE

In this six-day course, you can go deeper into the knowledge of survival and learn about details that make a difference when a survival situation appears. On top of the basic techniques that are taught in our shorter survival programs, you learn how to use medicinal plants, how to make rope and much more.

This course also gives you the chance to be introduced to long-term survival, leading to bushcraft, and how to prepare for the forthcoming seasons. Thanks to those 6 days, you get the opportunity to live in your survival shelter for the last two nights, using all the knowledge you have been gathering during the first 4 days. Your instructor will be present to guide you throughout the entire course.
