Dear Adventurous,
The Survival Immersion Course is organised for us from the 1st March 2025 12:00 to the 2nd 12:00 at Altwies (South of Luxembourg City and airport).
If you want to participate, please come back to me before Monday 9/9 answering this email (the previous one won’t work due to web issue) or by phone.
So far we are 4 persons + Torsten who will fly to us if no icing condition!
We still miss 1 person for the training course to be organised!
Let me know if you want to fly to Luxembourg or drive to Altwies.
Here are some more details :
The course is designed to provide a hands-on survival experience, where we will build our own shelters, start a fire, and spend the night in the shelters we create.
It’s a unique opportunity to learn and practice essential wilderness survival skills.
If the weather isn’t great, it’s actually a perfect chance to learn crucial skills like making a fire in the rain.
Adverse conditions provide realistic training and boost your confidence in handling challenges. So, bad weather won’t be a problem—in fact, it can enhance the learning experience.
