Thank you for creating a trip like Survive the Wild. Experiences like this go beyond textbooks and really help my grow in confidence, resilience, and teamwork. Overall, it sounds like a meaningful and well-thought-out program, and I’m excited about the opportunity to be part of it.
I attended the event in Wadi Shawka, and it was highly valuable experience. The program enhanced my knowledge and awareness of essential survival emergency skills and provided a well-organized and enjoyable introduction to hiking!
It was a great opportunity to know more on survival techniques. Mr. Moaz was very accommodating to answer all our additional questions. Also, meeting people with the same interest is nice.
I had the incredible Opportunity to attend "Survive the Wild", Over the few hours I learned essential wilderness survival skills, including shelter building, fire making, water purification and food foraging. It was a valuable experience that emphasized the importance of preparedness and resilience in nature.
Very exciting event led by experts in survival and occurring in the best weather time of the year.
