Topics of the advanced bushcraft and survival training

The focus of your bushcraft and survival training is on broadening and intensifying the outdoor skills you acquired so far. Surrounded by Canada’s wild backcountry you dedicate yourself to navigation in the wild, water and food supply, building a shelter and firebuilding techniques. You broaden your knowledge in building tools, in handling a knife and an axe and in how to behave when coming across wild animals. An experienced guide is always with you and teaches you all essential bushcraft skills. You get the possibility to discover your strengths and weaknesses in a demanding but safe environment, which is priceless for all your future adventure trips.

Leisure time as a course participant in North America

As you and your group dedicate yourself to acquiring new knowledge and essential outdoor skills all day long, free time is quite limited in this course.

After you’ve arrived at Vancouver International Airport, one day prior to the official start date of the course, you spend one night in a guest accommodation in town before driving to our partner’s ranch via an express shuttle (in exchange for a fee). Here, you receive lunch and will be introduced to the programme. In the afternoon you and your group make your way into the Canadian wilderness to dedicate yourself to the course topics of your advanced Bushcraft and Survival adventure. At the same day, you learn how to construct wilderness shelters in which you will sleep for the rest of the course. Afterwards, you will prepare dinner together.
