Founder and leader

The "BIG BOSS WHAT"!!!!

With 30 years of travel and experience in the most unlikely corners of the planet,

He toured Europe

on foot. Trained in the school of nature, he has been leading guided hikes for over

For 18 years, he has led survival courses all over the world. He is capable of coaching everyone from seasoned adventurers to children. More than 20,000 people have benefited from his expertise! He is also the author of numerous books on the subject.

With his approach to survival based on understanding the environment to better become part of it, he will show you the tips and all his knowledge to survive "in good spirits".

And finally, he has recently become the Bushcraft ambassador for Decathlon SOLOGNAC.


Remi
He has been leading survival courses in the Alps and the Paris region for several years. With 10 years of experience as a scout leader, the forest has become his natural habitat, and he will use his teaching skills to share its secrets with you.

His numerous self-supported treks in both summer and winter, and the hardships he endured, gradually hardened him into various survival skills, which he further developed through his interactions with firefighters and military personnel. A photographer in his spare time, he always carries his camera equipment with him wherever he travels.

He is "always ready" for any outdoor adventure! Underground, on the water or through winding trails.
