Bushcraft & Survival Course | Ivalo

Bushcraft and survival hands-on course dives into the core skills needed for safe and confident travel in the wilderness – whether you’re a casual hiker, long-distance trekker, or an adventure-loving nature enthusiast. You’ll practice fire-making, navigation, shelter building, knot-tying, and even sourcing food by foraging and traditional fishing. A central theme of the course is respect for nature and developing the calm mindset needed to handle the unexpected outdoors.

The day one focuses on the basic skills. You’ll learn to set up a proper camp, navigate with a map and compass, build a shelter, and make a fire using different techniques. In the evening, we’ll prepare dinner over an open fire and then enjoy a restful night’s sleep surrounded by nature.

The second day takes you deeper to the survival skills. You’ll fish with simple gear and cook your meal using what nature provides. The course concludes with a fun and challenging survival game, where you put your new skills to the test in a team-based adventure.

This course gives you both the knowledge and the hands-on experience to boost your confidence in any backcountry situation.
