Bushcraft & Survival Skills Camp

We'll meet up at Xwander headquarters at 10:00 and gear up for the survival skills camp.

Upon arrival, our expert guides will provide hands-on instruction on setting up the perfect campsite. You will learn how to choose a suitable location, pitch a tent, and set up a tarp for shelter. 

Next, we'll delve into fire-making techniques, covering different types of wood, how to cut and prepare it, and the use of  resin, bark, tinder iron, flintstone, and tinder fungus to ignite and maintain a fire. 

Our day continues with the navigation training, covering the use of maps and compasses as well as natural navigation methods. Participants will learn to interpret signs in nature, such as anthills, tree branches, and stars, to determine direction. We'll also demonstrate how to use mirrors for signaling. 

Guides will then teach basic knot-tying skills for various situations, including setting up tarps, tents, and fishing rods, as well as mastering the versatile prusik knot.

Finally, we'll learn how to catch, handle, and prepare fish using different cooking methods over an open fire. 

Throughout the day, our knowledgeable instructors will ensure you gain practical, hands-on experience that will equip you with valuable skills for any outdoor adventure.

After the camp we'll return to Xwander in Ivalo. Total duration of the activity is seven hours.
