What better way to discover rewilding than by living it directly?

Itinerary

Day 1: Entering wolf territory We meet up at Köping train station at 12 noon. We will drive to our storage where we will re-pack everything in the backpacks before we head out in the forest to begin your adventure. When we are all set we will leave the civilization and head out to a nearby forest, the territory of a resident wolf family. Arriving in the forest we embark on a forest hike to set up camp. Hammocks are strung up, and together, we prepare for our first night under the stars. A crackling campfire and an outdoor feast mark the evening, the sun bidding us farewell over the tranquil woods. Imagine this: a dark forest, trees whispering, and the night sky overhead, all while knowing a wolf family roams nearby. We wait in anticipation, the experience of hearing wolves howl can be both meditative and thrilling. Night in hammocks. Day 2: Wolf tracking and watching Rise and shine to a forest breakfast with steaming coffee and tea. If we believe that there is a chance to spot wolves we may get up for a morning excursion. Today, our focus shifts to tracking — paw prints, droppings, and other telltale signs that wolves are sharing the landscape. Dive into the world of wolf behavior and current conservation issues, answering burning questions: • What defines a wolf territory? • Why do wolves howl? • Who's the leader of the pack? • How many wolves does it take to kill a moose? As night falls, be ready for a silent, headlamp-lit walk through rugged terrain. Our destination: a strategic spot where we settle in, listening for the captivating sounds of the night. Night in hammocks. Day 3: Morning watch and return to civilisation Another morning in the forest brings a delightful breakfast amid the trees wrapping up our extraordinary adventure together. We get another chance to track and watch for wolves before it is time to pack up. we bid farewell to our temporary woodland home, and head back to civilization. After two nights in the wild, consider staying the next night in Stockholm for a well-deserved shower and the comfort of a proper bed. End of adventure.

Food & Stay

Hammock camp in wolf territory: We stay two nights wild camping in the forest. The exact location is kept a secret and it is very important that you don't share this information with anyone. We will explain why. We will set up camp at a location that is near the wolves, but still at a respectful distance to not disturb them. On this trip you will carry your own camping equipment (provided by us) and put up your hammock with instructions from your guide. Food: Everyone will be making their food in separate gas kitchens (provided by us) in the company of the group. We will eat all meals out in the forest, sometimes by a campfire. Meals will be simple but filling and tasty, and we all help out with cooking and grilling. Some of the meals will be prepared in beforehand and just heated. Veggie, gluten free or no fish, we take any diet just as seriously as anything else as long as you let us know in beforehand.
