- Survival Guild Finland's benchmark format
- Hunt, fish and forage your food
- Self-made shelters, no sleeping bags
- 2, 3 and 7-day options

Living off the land
You eat only what you hunt, fish or forage, feeling your body adjust as you master Lappish shelter-building, safe water, fire from many materials and finding food.
Nutritional needs will not be met this week. You must be healthy, with no need for regular medication or meals.
The journey
You hike in to the remote Palojoki cabin. Waters teem with salmon, trout, perch, pike, grayling and white fish, swamps with blueberries, lingonberries, cloudberries and cranberries. You pass from primeval boreal spruce forest into open arctic tundra. Instructors carry sat phones for emergencies.
