Overnight & weekend survival courses
Kiruna, Swedish Lapland · with JVT
JVT is listed on Walk Wilder but not yet vetted by me. You'll book with them directly — I pass your enquiry on and step out of the way. What vetted means →
Kiruna, Swedish LaplandThe weekend version covers fire, traps, fishing, edible and medicinal plants, water purification, orienteering and bivouacking, with nights in wilderness camps and a bivouac you build yourself. I'd recommend it as the point where the courses stop being a taster and start being training.
