The person in charge of this day is top-notch, but it's a shame it's so quick (from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm only, so not the 7 hours planned) and not immersive enough (location and not being able to practice fire lighting with all the techniques).

Very friendly and knowledgeable, despite his young age. The day runs smoothly and stress-free. Introduction to the process of identifying one's most important needs and how to make a well-considered selection. Food, drink and finally, fire. Lighting a fire may seem obvious when you have a lighter or matches, but it becomes less so with just a flint or some wood. You won't get to try out the latter method yourself, as it requires a bit of practice, but the principle and demonstration will amaze you all the same.

The workshop was excellent, very practical, hands-on and educational. The simple fact of leaving having lit a fire with my own hands makes me highly recommend this workshop, plus the instructor was oddly kind.

Bohémond's workshop is both fun and comprehensive in terms of the knowledge it conveys, and is suitable for anyone who loves nature, is curious or wants to learn the basics of survival in a local environment.

Hello everyone, great training with Bohémond. A very practical approach to survival in a natural environment, with invaluable advice delivered by our trainer, to preserve our health, and take advantage of what nature can offer us, sometimes in abundance, without us really knowing it, so much we bathe daily in our environment of comfort. Food for thought. Thank you for a great time spent with your group in the Mareil-Marly forest, where we learned the basics of surviving in a natural environment, sometimes by applying the techniques and know-how we had acquired.

Very nice experience. I loved Bohémond's guidance. He's a great teacher and taught me a lot during the day. I enjoyed making the fire with the whole group, a great moment of sharing. I'm even more keen to learn and explore nature. Thank you Bohémond for sharing these skills with us.

A great experience! A very friendly guide (Bohemond) who taught us the rudiments of survival in the forest and the ancestral ways of enjoying nature and its riches! A good group and a great atmosphere throughout this beautiful autumn day... I recommend it!

It was incredible, very nice trainer, pleasant, patient, communicative and very handsome. It was an enriching personal experience, moving from TV show theories to practical reality. I loved it, I'd do it again.
