    • Accommodation Bivouac / Tent
    • Breakfast not included
    • Lunch not included
    • Dinner not included

    12:00: Welcome of participants and presentation of the team. Round table discussion of everyone's expectations.

    We set off for a short hike with a few workshops reviewing survival priorities, preparing survival kits, and starting a fire with a firesteel for the first day. There will also be a short module on foraging to ensure a basic meal for the evening.

    We will arrive at the bivouac site quite early in the afternoon to set up camp: without equipment, everything takes longer! For this first night, we will put into practice the principles of thermal regulation reviewed earlier with a communal shelter optimized for sleeping without sleeping bags.

    From the sleeping area to storing the wood for the night, the afternoon will be very busy.

    The evening will be a friendly gathering around the campfire, with an opportunity for informal discussion with the leader. A recap of the first day will follow.
