Wild Experience: Could You Survive?
Wilderness Crisis Simulation in Estonia
Step into the story. Live the scenario. Learn to survive.
No phone. No power. No plan.
Just you, the wild, and your instincts.
Live through a cinematic 3-day survival scenario in the forests of Estonia. A safe and fully guided crisis simulation designed to challenge, teach, and transform.
The Scenario: Step Into the Story
👀 This is a simulation — not a real crisis. Your safety is always our top priority.
You arrive in Estonia expecting a peaceful nature getaway — quiet trails, untouched forests, fresh air. But then, everything changes.
News breaks: a regional conflict has erupted. The power grid fails. Phone signals vanish. The internet goes dark. There’s no way to reach the outside world — and no way out.
Your group is relocated by the authorities to a remote, abandoned house. It’s cold. It’s dark. And it’s up to you to make it livable. You have 24 hours to figure it out: light a fire, purify water, find food, organize safety, and communicate.
Then — the tension rises. In the middle of the night, gunfire echoes in the distance. Your group must flee. Into the forest. With only what you can carry.
You’ll build shelter under the trees. Start fire with your bare hands. Collect and clean water. Cook survival meals. Navigate the unknown. You’ll rely on instinct, trust, and teamwork to survive.
On the third day, the situation stabilizes. You return to base, reflect, and receive your certificate. You’re not the same person who started this journey. You’re stronger, more capable — and maybe a little wilder.
Please note: This is a carefully guided simulation, not a real emergency. Estonia is one of the safest countries in the world. At all times, you will be accompanied by licensed survival instructors who prioritize your safety.
What to Expect
Real Skills. Real Challenges. Fully Guided.
This is not just a survival skills class — it's a full-scale immersive scenario designed to shift your perspective, build your confidence, and reconnect you with your instincts.
You’ll go through three stages, each with its own environment, objectives, and emotional tone:
Stage 1 – Crisis Shelter Setup
You arrive at an abandoned house with no electricity, no water, and no signal. Your challenge is to make it livable:
-
Start fires using wood or gas
-
Set up basic heating and lighting
-
Secure drinking water
-
Prepare emergency rations
-
Plan for safety and communication
It’s about thinking clearly, acting calmly, and making group decisions under pressure.
Stage 2 – Wilderness Survival
Once the scenario escalates, your group must evacuate into the forest with only what you can carry. You’ll:
-
Build hidden shelters
-
Start and maintain fire
-
Purify and gather water
-
Prepare simple survival meals
-
Learn basic wilderness first aid
-
Navigate with limited tools
This stage tests your ability to adapt, support each other, and stay grounded in the unknown.
Stage 3 – Return, Reflect & Recharge
After surviving the forest, you return to base for rest, reflection, and reconnection. Together, you’ll:
-
Debrief your actions and insights
-
Explore group dynamics and self-leadership
-
Receive personal feedback
-
Celebrate with a closing ritual
-
Get your survival course certificate
Skills You’ll Learn
-
How to create an off-grid shelter
-
How to use fire and tools safely
-
Group decision-making and leadership under stress
-
Emergency preparedness
-
Water purification and basic wild cooking
-
First response and psychological resilience techniques
This is not a bootcamp or a competition. There’s no yelling, no ranking, no ego. This is about trust, self-reliance, and building the kind of calm strength that stays with you long after the forest fades.
Safety, Support & Instructors
Safe by Design. Guided by Experts.
This might feel like a disaster movie — but it’s one where you’re never alone.
Your entire experience is carefully crafted and guided by licensed crisis and wilderness instructors from one of Estonia’s leading survival education organizations.
These aren’t just outdoor hobbyists — they’re trained professionals who specialize in:
-
Realistic simulation design
-
Crisis response
-
Group psychology
-
Wilderness first aid
-
Emergency communication and safety
What Safety Looks Like in a Wild Scenario
Even though you’ll be “off-grid” during the simulation, your instructors are always just a few steps away — observing, supporting, and stepping in when needed.
Here’s what we put in place for your safety:
-
Pre-course briefing and gear check
-
24/7 instructor presence during the experience
-
Access to backup shelter, communication, and first aid
-
Health check and monitoring for physical well-being
-
Structured reflection and reintegration on Day 3
Estonia itself is one of the safest countries in the world — peaceful, stable, and with excellent healthcare and infrastructure nearby if ever needed.

Want to Go Even Wilder — or Just Unwind?
After your three-day survival immersion, you might want to reward yourself with rest, reflection, or even more wild encounters. These optional add-ons let you tailor your journey the way you like it — whether you’re seeking peace, luxury, or predators in the night.
Bear Watching Night
Spend a silent, unforgettable night deep in the forest — watching Europe’s most elusive predator from a cozy hide.
-
Shared Bear Hide: €230 per person (incl. transport + light evening picnic and breakfast in the local tavern)
-
Private Bear Hide: €395 per person (incl. transport + premium picnic+ breakfast in the local tavern)
Please Note:
Bear watching starts at 15:30 and is located 2 hours from the survival course site. Because of the early start and long night in the hide, we don’t recommend it immediately after the survival course. Instead, consider relaxing at Vihula Manor first, and do the bear experience the following day.
