Anybody is warmly welcomed to participate at Östanböke. You're welcome to stay for a short or long or very long period. You don't have to do anything, and you're welcome to contribute to Östanböke to make it a more beautiful place. There is always something to do.

We have a Stuga (cabin), furnished for two persons. We have a decent piece of land, where we can pitch a tent or you can pitch your own tent. We have quite some camping equipment, which we love to prepare for you in your desired setup.

We expect a contribuation for room and board, we expect a good mood, and we expect to have a meal together at least once a day. Below prices are charged:

• Room and board: 250 SEK per person per day

On top, if used:

• Stuga: 650 SEK per night
• Large 6-person tent with camping equipment: 450 SEK per night
• Small tent with tarp and some equipment: 250 SEK per night

Coffee, thee, water and everything else on the menu is included. We are not a campground, when you're visiting us you're welcome to participate in everything: Assisting in the vegetable garden, feeding the animals, repairing the roof, chopping wood, painting, mowing the lawn, there is always something to do!

Of course we can entertain fun workshops, but please bear in mind we don't have the capacity to run workshops day after day. We'll do all this in good agreement.

Buckskin is the most fine leather there is, and what's more satisfying to make it yourself. At the same time it's a laborious process, only do-able with good weather, and to process a hide to buckskin takes at least 3 days. The bucksin you'll take home after this workshop is not large enough to make a pair of trousers, perhaps some undergarment. The fun and satisfaction in this workshop is to understand the process, going through the process, appreciation for the animal and the craft, and, if succesful, a beautiful result.

Evening dinner during the workshop is obviously prepared on a campfire, which adds to the ambience during the evening. So next to tanning different activities can be done, in which you can of course participate, if you feel like it and you have the time.

This experience is tailor-made with a few basic elements, fully after the intentions of the participants. Are you a beginner and do you want to learn how to use a compass and what it's like to hike to a night shelter with a backpack? Or are you looking for a next level navigating challenge, hiking, canoeing and building your own raft to reach the place for the night? Everything is possible.

We can make this as crazy as you like, but we only work based on plausible or better proven experience. The basis is a trek during which you will immerse in the beautiful Swedish nature. Navigation and orientation starts with observing, and thus with being consciously in your current environment.

Join us and take on the challenge! A week of learning and practicing bushcraft. We'll make shelters, tan leather, build fires and cook over wood, make clothing, forage, make all sorts of tools, and at the end of the week you'll go home with a backpack full of knowledge, experience, and homemade items.

You'll initially stay in tarps and small tents, and of course, you'll have your own shelter built. Preparing food is part of the daily routine; during the day, you'll be working hard on all sorts of crafts, and in the evenings, of course, there's a campfire.

It's an all-inclusive stay, where you and the other participants, perhaps your family or group of friends, provide for yourselves as simply as possible with everything you need. This is definitely a more than 5-star stay!
