Wild Skills
No outdoor adventure without the right skills. From survival and winter skills, to expedition organization and plant knowledge – learn the tricks of the trade and be well prepared to set off on your own in the future. Short activities close to home as well as spectacular trips far from civilization.
Wilderness Trips with an Educational Twist
We combine knowledge with lots of doing, so that you not only understand skills, but also practice and apply them. By the end of the second day, you will have gained a solid foundation of knowledge to be more aware and prepared to go on an adventure. We integrate educational elements into the trip so you also learn to put techniques and skills into context. Hands-on training.
Traveling More Independently
Travel with more confidence and fewer worries—it’s possible. Our Wild Skills trips and activities focus on practical, hands-on skills that you can apply right away in the field. These are trips with an educational twist, designed for those who are eager to learn and interested in survival techniques, specific seasonal skills, bushcraft, navigation, safety, first aid, and more. No theory in a classroom—just learning by doing and applying what you’ve learned outdoors. In the snow, in the woods, in the mountains, or in the desert.” This is how you build a solid foundation, become less dependent on comfort, human infrastructure, or tourist facilities, and expand your opportunities for adventure. So you don’t have to be a wilderness expert to participate!
