Full description
Two days to become a true survivor.
Immerse yourself in nature with a clear objective: to survive. A weekend in La Garrotxa to learn how to make decisions, build shelters, make fire. ..
26 hours of pure survival. Without filters. Do you dare?
What we will do
The meeting point will be in Les Planes d'Hostoles, in La Garrotxa, 15 minutes before the start. From there we will travel in private cars and follow the instructor to the property set up for the experience.
At 10 a. m. we will all be ready to start our immersion in the world of survival. The whole weekend will be a practical learning experience guided by expert instructors. Among other things, it will be essential to know how to manage stress and make decisions: the psychology of survival is key when things get complicated.
Before lunchtime, we will choose the place where we will spend the night and build our shelter using the available materials. Throughout the day we will practice different fire lighting techniques, water purification systems and the use of tools such as knives and saws, as well as the essential knots for real situations.
In the afternoon we will continue with bushcraft workshops with a realistic approach. In addition, there will be time for a short section of hiking. We will learn to identify edible plants, usable trees and animal tracks, integrating observation of the environment as a key part of survival.
We will spend the night in the shelter built and on Sunday morning we will resume the activity with new practical exercises. Breakfast is included and we will be able to have a debriefing session before finishing the course at 12: 00 on Sunday.
The total duration of the experience is approximately 26 hours.
