2-Day Bushcraft & Survival Course - Swedish Wilderness

2-Day Survival Course & Bushcraft Training Near Stockholm This 2-day bushcraft and survival course is designed to give you practical outdoor skills, confidence and a solid foundation for spending time in nature safely and comfortably.

The course takes place entirely in the forest, where everything is learned and practised directly in real wilderness conditions — without pressure to perform.

Bushcraft is about competence, preparation and making the right decisions outdoors. Over two full days, you learn how to prepare for hikes, pack your backpack efficiently and work with nature using simple tools, natural resources and proven techniques. Theory is always followed by practice, so you understand not only how things are done, but why.

This course takes a gentle approach to bushcraft and survival. It is designed to build confidence rather than test limits, making it an ideal first step into wilderness skills.

Professional Instruction | Field-Tested Experience

The course is led by professional survival and bushcraft instructors with extensive experience in wilderness instruction and outdoor guiding. All instructors regularly work in natural environments and are used to teaching practical skills in real conditions.

Instruction is hands-on and structured, with a focus on correct technique, priorities and practical judgement — understanding what to do outdoors, how to prepare properly, and how to avoid unnecessary risk. Teaching is adapted to the group, allowing each participant to progress at their own pace while working with the same core skills.

The course content is built on more than 20 years of survival and bushcraft experience, developed through expeditions, wilderness travel and professional outdoor work.

The founder of True Nature Sweden spent five consecutive years travelling full-time, crossing jungles, mountain ranges, forests and remote regions across multiple continents. That experience shaped the philosophy behind these courses: practical, honest and grounded in reality, adapted to Nordic environments.

What You Will Learn

This 2-day bushcraft and wilderness survival course provides a strong, practical foundation focused on preparation, comfort and safe outdoor living.

You learn bushcraft fundamentals and develop an outdoor mindset, including how to pack your backpack, choose appropriate equipment and prepare for hikes and multi-day outings. Survival priorities are introduced in a calm, structured way, helping you understand what matters first in outdoor situations.

You work with firecraft from the ground up — lighting, building and maintaining a fire using natural materials — followed by setting up a tarp shelter and learning basic shelter concepts. Water sourcing and purification are introduced, along with the basics of foraging and food preparation in the wild.

Plant knowledge is covered through direct observation, including edible, toxic and medicinal species. You also practise navigation and orientation, wildlife awareness, basic tracking, camp organisation and working as a group outdoors.

All skills are taught outdoors, in real conditions, with theory immediately followed by practice.
