ABOUT OUR COMPANY DUTCHEXPLORERS

Welcome to the Arctic world of DUTCHEXPLORERS. We are an outdoor travel company for nature minded people and we love to show you Norway and connect you to wild nature. DUTCHEXPLORERS organise expeditions, outdoor road trips, adventurous travels and courses in northern Norway. Nature is wild here and should be accessible and in reach for everybody. So, that is why we started to develop courses and trainings on different levels, goals and with a variety of topics. This Survival and Safety Training is designed for people that are interested to stay for a longer period alone in remote areas with Arctic conditions. That is why this training is not for everybody. We organise also outdoor courses for new beginners in which you learn the essentails of staying in nature.

GOAL
The goal of this training is to get you to a level where you feel safe and comfortable (as far as possible) in different environments. How far you get by doing this training depends on where you are now. We can help you grow, and it is you that need to learn skills and gain experiences. So this training is about getting to know yourself in different situations.

Picture
LEVEL
This training is on an intermediate level and requires that you have some previous outdoor experience and you are physical in a healthy (good) condition and are mentally mature enough to be on you own in situations that can be outside your comfort zone. We always do an interview (video call) before we confirm your booking. We do no mind steep learning curves if you are ready for that.
Picture
METHOD
During this 9-day training, you join workshops (skills), attend to talks and go individual or with a teammate into the wilderness. To get real experiences, we take you to different wilderness areas like mountains, remote valleys, forests and uninhabited island near the coast. You can join this training every month. Remember that each season has its challenges and things you can learn.

EXPERIENCE ARCTIC NORWAY

This training takes place around our base in the municipality of Steigen, a 1000 km2 wild area in northern Norway. Our Base is located approximately 100 km north of the Arctic Circle and  offers wide fjords, steep mountains, remote valleys, dense forests and hundreds of islands along a rugged coastline, Nature is overwhelming and there nature reserves nearby and travelling to one of the National Parks is not that difficult.
