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.
|
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.
|
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.
