Outdoor skills

Developing your own outdoor skills enables you to enjoy activities in new ways and is the key to longer and more demanding trips. The focus of Nouxfest’s outdoor skills programs is on basic hiking skills, which can be learned in sessions suitable for the program of the event. The program is still preliminary, but, for example, the following programs are planned:

Various presentations and workshops related to outdoor skills: themes such as, ‘the first multi-day hike’, ‘the basics of winter camping’ and ‘the use of camping stoves’. Topics of interest are developed together with the participants during the winter and spring.

Tent clinic: different tent models, setting up and using equipment, practice using your own equipment

Introduction to hammocking: equipment and how to use it

Outdoor cooking course

Fire making workshop

Introduction / refreshing course of outdoor first aid skills
