Survival & Research

Survival starts with understanding nature’s resources. From foraging for edible plants and berries to hunting and fishing, learning to live off the land ensures self-sufficiency. In the untamed wilderness of the North, knowing what to eat—and what to avoid—can mean the difference between life and death. 

Fire is more than just warmth—it’s survival itself. Used for cooking, purifying water, signaling for help, and warding off predators, fire is an essential skill for anyone facing the elements. Mastering fire-starting techniques with limited resources is a skill passed down through generations.

When GPS and maps are no longer an option, nature becomes the guide. Using the sun, stars, wind, and landscape for direction is an age-old survival skill. Reading terrain, understanding natural markers, and adapting to an unpredictable environment ensures the ability to move safely across the land. 

The harsh winters of Northern Norway have tested survival skills for centuries. Knowing how to insulate clothing, build shelters, manage body heat, and prepare for extreme temperatures is a matter of life and death. Those who adapt to the cold will endure—those who don’t, won’t. 

A sturdy shelter is the foundation of long-term survival. Whether constructing a temporary lean-to, a log cabin, or a snow shelter, understanding protection from wind, rain, and predators is essential. A well-built survival camp provides security, comfort, and a chance to thrive in the wilderness.
