Florence DEBATTICE -
A very rich experience for the brothers. They loved the professionalism of the guides. Their shared experiences. They are ready to set off on another adventure. Thank you

I had the pleasure of going on a 'survival weekend' with Olivier and Eric! They were kind and experienced instructors who gave me an unusual experience. Building a shelter, making a fire, finding your bearings... As a 'neophyte' in these matters, I had the opportunity to learn an enormous amount alongside them, in a positive group atmosphere.
A breath of fresh air in the heart of La Roche-en-Ardenne! 🙂

Hello team!
The emotions and words have been pouring out of me since yesterday, there are so many things I want to say to you. I've said STOP to myself ✋️
Take the time ...👃take the time to introspect👀, take the time to choose 🧠each word so that they can accurately reflect your impressions, your experiences...
It was an incredibly fair, authentic and balanced experience. What a lot of work went into it! The course was very well thought out, organised and fluid.
Being off-balance at the finish is a great way to learn, and it was great to experience such strong emotions!
You're more than competent, you're experts and you know how to pass on your knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills by making them directly accessible to novices. Your teaching methods, pedagogy and philosophy blew me away!
I felt like I belonged, I was able to express my emotions and ask my questions with confidence. And what I learnt! I have a thirst for learning and this time I was able to revel in the nectar of your knowledge... thank you, it was a pure delight!
