It was an amazing experience, our William was very well informed and extremely skilled. His attitude throughout was admiring and the food was prepared the way it should be in the wilderness and tasted brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing trip, can't recommend William highly enough. I learnt loads and everything was really practical so you properly put into practise the stuff he was telling you. The location was beautiful too and we all had a great time. Would recommend to anyone looking to do something different and get out of their comfort zone for a few days

This was an incredibly worthwhile, exciting experience. We spent 4 days with william in the forest, building our own shelters, learning to forage, fish, find water, make fire - William has incredible knowledge and firsthand experience that he is always happy to share. Great instruction skills. Focus is on building skills & knowledge so food is provided, and you won’t have to worry about starving! Highly recommend

A must for those seeking an unforgettable adventure with useful skills, friendship, and a strong connection to nature. - Enthusiastic instructors created an inviting and supportive learning environment from the start. - Comprehensive curriculum combined theory and practical experience, covering everything from shelter-building and fire-starting to navigation and foraging for food - Acquired essential survival abilities for life-threatening situations and gained renewed self-assurance and resilience. I completed the training feeling more equipped to handle life's challenges, both in the wild and in regular circumstances. This 4-day survival training surpassed my expectations!

Fantastic course. Really challenging but very enjoyable course. I learned a lot and it was always fun and interesting. If you have been thinking about doing a course like this for a while and wondering should you make the leap? Do it. This is the course for you.

I’m so glad I signed up for the four-day course as it was a really fantastic experience. It was hard work and definitely tough at times (physically and mentally!) but it was also really good fun and totally unique - I picked up some really useful knowledge and skills which I know will stay with me. There was a good balance of some theory with a lot of practical learning - we learnt how to build a shelter and then went on to build our own (I was able to sleep in mine at the end too which was such a cool experience), we made fires with materials we found around us in the forest, learnt about gathering foods from the forest and lots more. The guides had a great rapport with each other and with the group, which it made it a really fun four days. They were both genuinely very passionate about the outdoors and nature, which made them great teachers. I highly recommend the four-day course and hope I’ll be back another year for another experience with True Nature Sweden.
