The cabin has no electricity\, just a wood burner\, basic kitchen\, dining table and beds. \nYou will then spend three nights in shelters you will build as a group\, including a Scandinavian tent\, a forest shelter and a snow hole. In each of the shelters\, watch will be kept during the night to stoke fires and maintain warmth\, or keep candles lit during the night you stay in the snow hole. \nDuring the survival phase you will be sleep in a sleeping bag on a roll mat\, within a bivi bag.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the food like?” style=”round” color=”blue” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961192931{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #d3efed !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]During your time at the log cabin\, meals will need to be provided and prepared at the log cabin. \nDuring the survival phase you will be provided with freeze dried ration packs for 3 dinners\, 2 lunches and 3 breakfasts. (Ration packs are ready prepared meals in foil packs which can be cooked quickly by placing the pack in boiling water for the time stated). \nYou should bring any additional snacks you might like. \nSpecific dietary requirements can be catered for if you advise us before the trip.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the bathroom facilities like?” style=”round” color=”green” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961212353{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ecf3da !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The log cabin has two long-drop toilets. \nDuring the survival phase of the challenge\, you are completely in the wilderness so there are no toilet facilities at all. You will need to find a secluded place to go\, bury it and put any paper in a nappy bag or equivalent\, to dispose of responsibly on your return to the cabin. \nYour guides will give you a thorough briefing on toilet procedure and etiquette. \nKeeping clean and maintaining general hygiene is important for your comfort but also for your safety. For the nights at the log cabin it will be possible to melt snow for a wash although this will be in limited supply. \nYou are asked to only use natural or biodegradable soap and shampoo to avoid contamination. \nDuring your time at the wilderness camp there are no washing facilities so you should bring a supply of baby wipes and hand sanitizer gel to maintain hygiene as best you can. \nMost people find it is too cold to have a proper wash at the wilderness camp so baby wipes are the most effective option. \nIt is important that you take particular care regarding toilet hygiene and clean your hands with sanitizer after using the toilet and before eating.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How tough is it and what is the terrain like?” style=”round” color=”sandy_brown” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961250554{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffe3d1 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The trip is rated challenging. \nTemperatures pose a specific challenge with temperatures dropping as low as -30°C. For three days you will be sleeping in self-built shelters\, warmed by a fire (or candles in the snow hole). \nThe land will be covered in deep snow with frozen lakes. You may encounter icy patches while skiing.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How fit do I need to be?” style=”round” color=”purple” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961268084{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #eedceb !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The trip is rated challenging. \nYou will be participating in physical activity for many hours and in below- freezing conditions and staying in very basic accommodation. It is essential that you are fit enough to participate in activities\, such as cross country skiing and dog sledding\, for several hours at a time and physically well enough to cope with the cold. \nBreaks are taken but long days of activity are inevitable. \nIt is advised that you start training at least six months before departure to ensure your best chance of success and enjoyment on the challenge. Increasing your cardiovascular endurance and core and leg strength will benefit you greatly for the variety of activities you will be involved in. Hill walking is great for overall fitness along with running\, cycling\, gym workouts\, team sports and swimming etc. You can download a number of free apps which will help you train and track your progress. E.g. MapMyRide\, C25K (couch to 5k run)\, MyFitnessPal etc. \nIf you attempt to complete the challenge without training it will make it unnecessarily difficult and may hinder your experience\, and the experience of your group.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How do we travel?” style=”round” color=”blue” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961317605{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #d3efed !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]Upon arriving in Stockholm\, you’ll catch an internal flight north to Ostersund (approx. 1 hour)\, followed by journey by minibus to the log cabin near Raftlaven (approx. 1 hour). \nThroughout the trip\, you’ll travel by cross country skis\, and there’ll be a chance to try out snow shoes\, husky sledding and snowmobiles. \nTo get to and from the desert requires long drives (approx. 9 hours including breaks) along winding mountain roads\, which offer stunning views of the snow-capped peaks and lush valleys. If you suffer from motion sickness you are advised to bring your usual anti-nausea medication with you. Regular stops are taken.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What if I am unwell during the trip?” style=”round” color=”green” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1753961347545{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ecf3da !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The survival part of the trip takes places within an easy distance of the cabin. \nIf you are unwell or injured\, and unable to join the group for any of the activities\, you will be able to stay at the cabin. \nIn the unlikely event of a serious illness or accident\, the local team will ensure you are transferred as swiftly as possible to the nearest hospital which is in Östersund\, just over 30 minutes. drive. The nearest doctor is approximately 20 minutes drive.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Suggested kit list” style=”round” color=”sandy_brown” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1754913362937{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #FFE3D1 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]Please see the information brochure for the recommended kit list.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the accommodation like?” style=”round” color=”purple” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1755265626388{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #EEDCEB !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]Log cabin (4 nights)\, Scandinavian tent (1 night)\, shelter (1 night)\, snow hole (1 night).[/vc_toggle][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \nKick start your fundraising\nWe’re here to support you all the way!
