In short, an intense and magical experience in the heart of the wilderness!

The highlights

  • Led by true Bushcraft specialists with 20 years of experience in the field

A friendly experience accessible to everyone. Unlike survival training, here you bring your own food and cook together. Practical lessons are integrated throughout the two days at the group's pace. A huge thank you to Boris, our instructor, who was a skilled teacher, patient, and full of humor!

The guide was great, but apparently Decathlon changed their support at the last minute, which meant that the program announced months ago was not followed, so I was a little disappointed.

A trip that combines skills acquisition, the pleasure of sharing, and moments of comfort (our guide Virgil has some serious culinary skills in addition to his bushcraft expertise). An experience I recommend to everyone; you don't need to be particularly experienced, this course is suitable for a wide range of people.
