Advanced course 4 days
It is intended for everyone who has completed a 3-day demanding course of survival in nature and wants to upgrade their knowledge and perfect their skills of survival in nature.
You will test the knowledge you have acquired so far, focus on upgrading the skills you acquired during the 3-day course. You will also learn advanced skills. There will be even less equipment and food available, so even more ingenuity will be required. Through a long hike through picturesque landscapes, you will get to know different environments. Emphasis will be placed on the development of the independence of each individual, who after the end of the course will sovereignly overcome survival situations.
The continuation course is suitable for adults. A good psycho-physical preparation and completion of a 3-day course are required.
