Full day learning survival skills. Consolidating knowledge of already gained skills and learning new ones: tracking and ancient hunting techniques, fire-building techniques, making torches, etc.

Short thematic hikes and observing animals by night. Programme includes basic survival skills, with emphasis on authentic contact with nature and responding to situations in nature as they arise.

This kind of living in nature can deepen our connection with our own true self, and for that reason our programme of Survival in Nature includes elements of preserving one’s wellbeing.

Living in nature goes even deeper on day four, and the difference between this and an everyday, urban way of life will become very obvious.

We will use our exhaustion to learn about efficient use of power. We will tear down the camp and try to conceal the traces of our presence in the forest as much as possible.
