We ll learn the methods of the police and how to trace a lost person. Survival by the coast teaches you how you react at an emergency situation at sea.

Winter survival in subarctic environment is a course that takes place in Lannavaara, which is where the tundra begins about 150 km northeast of Kiruna.
All transportation is made on skis.
This course makes it possible to join the Association. Long transportation, several days without sleep and very scarce equipment. We ll take physiological tests and play a scenario to make the courses realistic. The courses last at least a week and take place both summer and winter. The Swedish Survival Association was founded at the beginning of the 80 s as a result of the survival research that was lead by the Swedish Army.
