Survival training is a journey where participants try to survive in the wilderness with as little means as possible, in order to train survival skills or as recreation. This often includes making long hikes, lighting fires, sailing in canoes or rafts, fishing, biking (for example with mountain bikes) and so on. Survival trainings are mostly held in forests, mountain ranges and hilly areas, such as the Alps.

Different organisations organise recreational survival trainings, some of which for children. They are popular as business excursions or as a holiday.
