This 8 day adventure will give you a new perspective on life and survival.
We will have two days of advanced survival instruction which leads to a 3 day team survival adventure, followed by a 3 day solo survival adventure.
You will end up with a feeling of solitude and you will get to know yourself on an entirely different level. Passive survival is the name of the game and advanced techniques will be introduced.
