Castaway Course

The Castaway Course provides a unique opportunity to experience living off the grid, with minimal equipment allowed. Participants are permitted to carry only the essentials, including an axe, knife, rope, and basic fishing equipment, along with a one-day food ration. This restriction is in line with the course’s philosophy of self-sufficiency and survival skills, where one must rely on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to survive.

It’s important to note that to enroll in the six-day Castaway Course, participants must have completed either the Indigenous or Nomadic Bushman course first. This prerequisite ensures that participants have a strong foundation in bushcraft and are prepared for the challenges of the Castaway Course.

The Castaway Course is available from April to October, during which the weather conditions are suitable for outdoor activities. With its immersive training and hands-on experience, the Castaway Course is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable survival skills while enjoying the beauty of nature.

  An unforgettable experience
A very well organised excursion in a wonderful landscape. It was our friend's dream to be able to do this tour and the organisers fulfilled their wish. Both guides were very efficients and careful to make the tour engraved in our memory.All the best from France and Sweden

  An unbeatable dog sledding adventure
Despite unusually poor snow conditions in the area the team at Wild Spirit worked hard to ensure that our dog sledding experience could continue, proposing an alternative, beautiful route. The dogs were amazing, and the team welcoming, friendly and very helpful to our bunch of dog sledding beginners. It was an exhilarating adventure that has made our holiday in the Are area. Not to be missed.

  Best Part of My Trip!
This was the highlight of my trip to Sweden. Richard and his team showed the upmost professionalism and care.The dogs were lovely and ready to go! They take time to explain everything to you so if you have no prior experience, it'll be totally okay!Our safety was always first and learning how to use the sled was easy!What impressed me the most was the Richard's and Claire's fun personalities. Conversation was great and coming back to the Kennel and meeting the rest of the dogs was nice! We won't ever forget how they helped us when we ran into an emergency AFTER our visit. I know there's other dog sledding companies to chose from but you really must pick Wild Spirit for both their dogs and their humans!

  Great bushcraft / wilderness day with Wild Spirit in Ottsjö, North Sweden (near Åre )
Oscar (14) and Harry (12) spent a really great day with Richard doing some bushcraft - making fire, finding mushrooms, exploring the forest and learning about plants and their qualities. They had an amazing day.
