Arrival and orien­ta­tion in British Columbia

After your arrival at Vancouver International Airport, you spend a night in a local hotel or hostel. The next morning, an Express Shuttle takes you from Vancouver to your accommodation: a ranch a few hours north of Vancouver that serves as your base station. After you had lunch on the ranch, you get an introduction to the upcoming course programme.

Topics of the bushcraft and survival training in Canada

Bushcraft course: You spend the following days acquiring all the skills that bring you back to the roots. During your training you find out how to work with nature instead of working against it, and this way you learn to walk across new, unknown terrain with confidence and without fear. An experienced guide accompanies you and teaches you essential bushcraft skills in practical classes – often by providing realistic scenarios – so that you will have gained a rich store of knowledge at the end of your course. With Canada’s wild nature as the setting for your training, this Wilderness Experience provides for an in-depth educational experience that helps you appreciate and use the resources of nature.

Survival course: As a participant of our survival course amidst the seclusion of the southern Chilcotin Mountains in southwest British Columbia, you experience a real survival training, in which you learn to make it through unexpected and risky situations in the wilderness. At the end of the course, you will have the skills and strategies as well as the necessary confidence to master almost every emergency situation in wild nature. Your outdoor training takes place under realistic conditions in the middle of the rough and diverse terrain of the southern Chilcotin Mountains, so that both your practical skills as well as your mental strength get trained.

Accom­mo­da­tion in the Canadian wilder­ness

After your arrival at the ranch you’ll meet your team members and head to British Columbia’s backcountry. Your experienced instructor will show you how to build shelters for longer wilderness stays in which you will sleep the following nights. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared by the group and will be enjoyed either in the shelter camp or while being on a day trip.
