Cold Weather Survival Challenge
3 Days / 2 Nights — Winter Field Training
The Cold Weather Survival Challenge is a demanding winter field course focused on cold weather survival and shelter discipline.
Designed for individuals with foundational experience, this program requires students to operate in real New England winter conditions while building shelters, managing fire, and maintaining personal resilience in sub-freezing environments.
Students will apply core survival skills under sustained exposure, including shelter construction, fire management, heat retention, and resource discipline. Instruction is minimal—performance, decision-making, and execution are the focus.
All training is conducted in the field under severe winter conditions. Students should expect a physically and mentally demanding experience.
This course represents the culmination of the Vegvisir Outdoors training progression.
