Climb Kebnekaise middle of winter
Kebnekaise is Swedens highest mountain. It is only 2100 meters high, but its still 1600 meter to ascend and it is above the arctic circle. Summertime it is just a hard trek with hostels at the base of the mountain.
Wintertime it is a real challenge. -

Wilderness empowerment Personal development through nature experience. Youth exchange survival camp in Sweden
I am the one. I am the one that can walk alone. I am the one that finds my way. I am the one that face my fear. I am the one that walks through darkness. I am the one that finds the light. I am the one that makes the fire. I am the one that builds the shelter. I am the one that finds the food. I am the one that survives. I am the one that grows stronger every day.

Deepspot freediving course
The best conditions of my life for deep freediving turned out to be indoors in a dive tank in Poland. 45 meters deep, 32 degrees, 45 meter visibility. Lines and every imaginable piece of equipment.

Airsoft
An activity that mixes childhood “cowboys and Indians” games with the feeling of a modern action movie. At Hästekasen, we play on larger areas, with fewer bullets. This makes it more about sneaking, more about the nature experience.

Worst case scenario – a workshop in “personal” crisis management
What if we are not able to do the transition into a sustainable 10 billion people planet? What if things go to the worse – fast.
Are we prepared? Are you prepared?
Financial crisis?
Energy crisis?
Major weather disruptions?
Ecosystem failures?
Food production failure?
…or just an economy in long recession and a state not fully delivering security and welfare.
