"Practical, effective, hands-on learning. Likely the best Outdoor related purchase I've ever made." — WSWFS Graduate
Boreal Wilderness Institute's Wilderness Survival Winter Field Training (WSWFS) is a journey where participants have a chance to really practice advanced wilderness survival skills and discover the resources of the winter boreal forest. This advanced Modern Wilderness Survival course includes 2 nights Training in the Canadian Wilderness that allows you continue your training beyond the Wilderness Survival Winter Field Session. It is designed to be a learning experience where you will be challenged as you live in the winter forest environment.
"Good opportunity to practice different techniques in varied conditions" — WSWFS Graduate
"The course was a wonderful learning experience with knowledgeable instructors, which allowed lots of time to actually practice the skills we were learning." — WSWFS Graduate
The emphasis will be on building survival skills, fire lighting, shelter building, and advanced tool building. One night will be spent on at a Solo Camp and the other night in a small group shelter. Our camps will be set-up in the boreal forest and each will have its own rustic character. This course allows you to take the next step by integrating survival and wilderness living skills .
"Instructor is great, very good way to take the skills learned and apply them." — WSWFS Graduate
"The trip itself is a lot of fun - provided you are reasonably comfortable outdoors. I had a great time hiking though the winter woods and building structures and tools with minimal equipment. It is a course worth taking just for the fun of the activity. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can enjoy the outdoors without a feather mattress." — WSWFS Graduate
This Training includes shelter materials, snowshoes, and group safety equipment. All participants are responsible for basic camping gear, clothing, and all meals. This programme links together with the Wilderness Survival Core Seminar and the Wilderness Survival Winter Field Session for a Complete 5-Day Winter Survival Programme which runs in March each year. Participants will earn BWI's Survival Certificate on successful completion of this course.
"The Winter Survival Course was definitely worth the time and money to take. It is, however, very specialized. For this reason, the information and skills taught are probably the best available for survival in the boreal forest..." — WSWFS Graduate
