7 Day Winter Survival Expedition
Overview
This expedition takes place in the Snow Belt of
the Cape Breton Highlands, where you will
encounter deep snow in a boreal forest
environment. You will learn to walk on
snowshoes, and trek through deep snow, across
the frozen landscape, and be taught survival
techniques that are designed specifically for the
Canadian winter. You will participate with the
others to establish shelter, make fire, purify water
and acquire food. Everyone will be expected to
pull their weight and contribute towards the
wellbeing of the group. This is an excellent team-
building exercise, which teaches discipline,
teamwork and self-reliance. By the end of this
expedition, you will have built self-confidence,
have learned useful new skills, and will have an
appreciation for the unique challenges faced in
winter survival.
This expedition provides an excellent introduction
to and good grounding in all the principles and
skills necessary to prepare and survive in a deep
snow environment below the tree line, including
basic survival principles that can be applied
anywhere.
This expedition is designed for beginners who
wish to learn from scratch, and those with some
winter camping experience, wishing to review and
expand their skill set.
