Backpacking and Hiking Courses in Helsinki, Finland – Private Teaching
In addition to my all inclusive backpacking trips I can also teach you to hike on your own. You can learn knowledge and skills by yourself with time and gear can be bought with money, but with my courses you’ll be on your way much quicker when you see how it’s good to do things and how the gear works, and the biggest difference to reading books, watching videos or listening to salesperson is that you’ll actually be doing all the things yourself that you need to do when backpacking. You can borrow all the necessary gear for the courses, so you get to try them before buying anything.
The courses are private. You can come alone or with a friend, child, family or a dog. We can put extra emphasis on how backpacking works for specifically for you or for you together. Whether you want to hike a long distance trail, take it really easy or get to backpack in spite of your age or difficulty moving, the course can be adapted to almost all situations.
Course for those who want to start hiking and camping in three season conditions (spring, summer, fall) in ultralight fashion. Learn the skills to enjoy your time outdoors in Finland and Lapland without carrying a heavy backpack.
We’ll go through everything you need to have and know to go backpacking by yourself. After the course you’ll know what gear is really important and where you can save money, and you’ll know what to do when you go on your first adventure.
