Pyhä Survival Course

We'll meet at the indicated time at the Colorado Bar & Grill and venture into the heart of the Pyhä-Luosto National Park to start our arctic survival course. The guide will show us all the essential equipment for an expedition: sleeping bag, mattress, etc.

We'll also learn what to wear in the extreme cold and how to cook in cold climates. We'll complete the experience with a light lunch of bread and sausages.

Next, we'll grab the snow shovels and prepare to build a quinzee, the typical Lappish igloo. This method is used by hikers to survive the Arctic nights.

At the end of the activity, we'll return to the starting point, 6 hours later.
