Survival Winter Training In Lapland

Survival situations often come without warning. Therefore you will have to be ready. You have to be able to face any consequences. You could get lost in the forest, be a victim of a helicopter crash, be trapped in an avalanche, or be stuck in a blizzard.

We are offering a course that will provide you with techniques, and tools as well as confidence in your knowledge and your abilities to react correctly when a survival situation occurs.

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

HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THIS EXPERIENCE

In this winter training, we will focus on surviving in extreme weather, and extremely low temperatures in a natural and wild environment. We’ll bring you as far north as Lapland, well above the polar circle, in the wilderness lying within the vast forests and mountain area of the north of Europe.

It is important to get a taste of the life of the Samì people. The Samì people are the native people from the north of Scandinavia. They have been surviving there for thousands of years. We, therefore, propose you do what they do during winter to move around the huge wilderness surrounding them. They travel by dog sledging, snowmobile, or snowshoes...we’ll do the same.

We will experience true wilderness life by sleeping in forest cabins situated in nature that offer the comfort needed for you to relax and warm up after a long day in the snow.

Nothing better than enjoying a traditional Swedish sauna after the course.

Throughout the days, we will learn different techniques that will progressively give you more and more confidence in your ability to use what nature is providing, everything is in nature, you just need to learn what and how to use it.
