the Adventure
10 days: 5 days of training with expert instructors, a genuine 3-day solo survival challenge, then a final night in Sundsvall.
Our adventures follow a simple arc: Learn → Survive → Celebrate.
Learn · Days 1-5
Do you watch Alone and wonder if you’d have what it takes? Here’s where you find out. We meet you in Sundsvall and head into the wild. Five days learning bushcraft from expert instructors, including past Alone contestants: fire-making, fishing, foraging, shelter-building and the survival psychology that actually keeps you going.
Survive · Days 6-8
Then you go solo. You hike to your own lakeside spot with just a knife, a pot and a sleeping bag. Three days and nights fully on your own, making shelter, sourcing water, foraging or fishing, and facing the reality of being truly alone.
Celebrate · Days 9-10
On the final morning you’re rescued, greeted with a drink and snacks, then taken to what feels like a 10★ hotel for hot showers, a spa, a survival feast, and story-swapping with your fellow survivors.

The Day-by-Day
- Day 1: Into the Swedish wild. We meet you in Sundsvall and head deep into the boreal forest to base camp. Briefing done, the bushcraft begins.
- Day 2: Finding food in the forest. Foraging and plant identification, fishing the lake, animal tracking and trapping theory (no trapping in southern Sweden, but you’ll learn how).
- Day 3: Fire and shelter. Boreal fire-craft, from feather sticks to the bow drill, then shelter, cordage and knots in the afternoon.
- Day 4: Shelter and the long game. More on building a home that holds the weather, plus water purification and wilderness cooking.
- Day 5: Mindset and final prep. Survival psychology, strategy, and the last skills you’ll need before you go it alone.
- Day 6-8: Solo survival. You hike to your own lakeside spot with a knife, a pot and a sleeping bag. From here, it’s just you.
- Day 9: Rescue. You’ve made it. A drink and snacks, then a hotel that feels like ten stars, the best shower of your life, a spa, a feast and a celebratory dinner.
- Day 10: Departure. Out of the forest and home, changed.
This is the shape of the expedition, not a fixed timetable. The exact training days flex with the weather and conditions, that’s part of the adventure.

“One of the best experiences of my life. I joined the 10-day Sweden bushcraft and survival trip… Being left to look after myself in the Swedish wilderness was as rewarding as it was challenging.”
Giles Murray
“Did the 10-day Sweden Proper bushcraft training, then 4 nights solo on a lake with very limited kit. I came home with actual skills and a much quieter head.”
Ivo De Mas
“I had a great time in Sweden! Would never want to miss that experience. Thanks to our guides Kian and Tom. 100% recommendation!”
