Winter kayaking & Night navigation

During two days we guide you through the importances of paddling in an cold water environment. We mix theoretical and practical sessions and focus on how to dress properly, rescue one self and others in cold water and of course how we survive in an remote situation during winter. Fire lighting and means of communication in a survival situation are some of the topics of the two days that we will touch upon together with a night navigation in the dark.
