Arctic Night – A Survival Workshop

Explore the Arctic with Bliss as your guide, beginning at CAMP Kitchen & Bar in Pyhä. After a warm meet and greet, clients are taken to a suitable location for a theory workshop on Arctic nature and survival skills. Discover both traditional and contemporary techniques as Bliss’ survival instructor introduces essential gear, including Arctic sleeping bags, mats, clothing for extreme cold, and various stove systems. Learn about the materials’ suitability for harsh environments while enjoying a light yet nutritious meal.

Step into the wilderness for a hands-on experience in snow survival. Weather permitting, the instructor will demonstrate how to build a quinzee, a traditional snow shelter made by hollowing out a pile of settled snow. Clients participate in constructing their own quinzee, which takes a couple of hours, followed by another snack or meal. Prepare for an overnight stay in the shelter, with the Bliss guide monitoring throughout the night and providing backup support if needed. Wake up to warm drinks and a morning snack, with individual check-ins to ensure everyone is well, before the guide leads the group back to civilization.
