Morning mist lifts off a black lake and the pines begin to smell resinous and sharp; the forest seems to test your intentions as much as shelter your progress. This six-day advanced survival course takes place across the mixed-conifer woodlands of Södermanland, where glacially scoured bedrock, boulder fields and shallow lakes shape the land and the skills you’ll practice.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Morning mist lifts off a black lake and the pines begin to smell resinous and sharp; the forest seems to test your intentions as much as shelter your progress. This six-day advanced survival course takes place across the mixed-conifer woodlands of Södermanland, where glacially scoured bedrock, boulder fields and shallow lakes shape the land and the skills you’ll practice.
The region’s human history runs from Viking-era travel routes to small-scale forest farming; you’ll train on landscapes shaped by the last Ice Age and a culture that long used the forest for food, timber and shelter. Expect practical modules on firecraft, debris and frame shelters, water sourcing and purification, foraging for edible and medicinal plants, basic trapping and fishing, and group leadership under stress.
Instruction is hands-on and scenario-driven: you’ll read terrain to orient, improvise shelter from available materials, and cook simple dishes from foraged or caught food. Instructors emphasize safety—animal tracks teach patterns, waterways warn and beckon—and they drill techniques you can repeat under pressure.
Plan for variable conditions: early fall frosts or spring boggy ground change kit and timing. Bring durable footwear, layered rain gear, a water filter, and a willingness to cold-soak and problem-solve. Meals are provided but rationing and efficient fuel use are practiced.
This course is both a skill immersion and a confidence builder—expect long days of practice, brief classroom moments by firelight, and a clear checklist of repeatable survival techniques to take home.
No—this course is instructional and suitable for a range of fitness and experience levels, though it is intensive and scenario-driven.
Small-group format with a maximum of 8; the course requires at least 3 participants from early October to late April and 5 from early May to late September.
Basic gear is supplied, but participants should bring personal layered clothing, sturdy boots, and a water filter when possible.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included; you will be asked about dietary requirements at booking so instructors can accommodate restrictions.
