In the winter training we focus on surviving in extreme weather, extremely low temperature in an natural and wild environment. We’ll bring you as far as Lapland, well above the polar circle, in the wilderness between Gällivare and Kiruna, the two little towns laying within the vast forests and mountain area of the north of Europe
Day1: Arrival
Arrival to Gällivare or Kiruna train station or airport. We’ll pick you up from there and drive for less than an hour by car to the hotel. From there we’ll grab a coffee before riding the snowmobile for 15 minutes towards the wilderness camp where our lodge is.
Day2: Course, practice and activity.
We’ll start with a breakfast in the morning and follow with the survival course starting at 10.00
Program: Basics and fire
-The base of survival
-The essentials
-Make the right choice
-Fire technics
In the afternoon and after a lunch break we will go out and practice what we have learn during the morning.
-Before or after the practice you’ll have the time for one of the activities. Your choice.
Day3: Course and practice
Breakfast than survival course starting at 10.00
Program: Shelter
-Shelter: summer shelter and of course winter shelter.
-how to build
-with what
-where
-no rope, what to do
-what come first
-isolation and wind shields
In the afternoon and after a lunch break we will go in out and practice what we have learn during the morning.
-Building a shelter takes a lot of time we therefore won’t have the time for extra activity today.
Day4: Course and practice
Like the other days we start with a breakfast then starts the theoretical survival course at 10.00
Program: Water and food
-what to drink
-where to find
-how to melt snow
-what food
-how to find it
-where
-trapping and network (no killings in our tours but intense practice).
-tracking animals, silent walk
Building trap networks takes days we therefore won’t have the time for extra activity today.
Day5: practice day.
You’ll have the opportunity to practice what we’ve been learning. During those two days (day 5 and 6), you’ll be ready to sleeping in your shelter if you feel capable to do so. The lodge is of course available anytime and one should risk frostbites or even freeze to death over night. Use those days to do an activity you didn’t have time to do.
Day6: Practice day.
You still get the chance to practice, set more trap to increase your chance to catch sustainable food, improve your wind shields or gather more food.
Use that day to relax as well, those days has been quite intense especially if you slept in your survival shelter the night before. You’ve learned a lot and your head is full of information, you might want to go through your notes and some questions might come up.
Day7: return
Pack up time, we are going back to civilisation today. On request, you can decide to pass by the ice hotel on your way back to the airport or train station (return via Kiruna in this case).
