Guides often lack the practical and theoretical knowledge of nature and wilderness living. In this course I teach the basics of the arctic nature, living in wilderness and how to survive. This is all done under the aspect of the responsibility of a guide. Depending on the season or on request the focus is on summer or winter. The course is done in a setting of a 4 days wilderness excursion (hiking, canoeing or skiing). First Aid in wilderness is also part of the course.
During the course every participant creates a knowledge journal. In the evening we repeat all topics from the day.
Optional modules after the excursion
- Small Engine maintenance (2 hours)
- ATV/Snowmobile use and maintenance (depending on season) (4 hours)
- Snowmobile driving under difficult conditions (1 day)
- use of chainsaw (4 hours)
- basic dog handling (4-8 hours)
