All classes were held on the ground, and each participant received from the organizers of the necessary equipment and facilities necessary for survival inregion subarktycznym . Each soldier also features a basic rifle course, the Swedish army and ski equipment, which from that moment was the main means for participants to move around. Activities organized during this period included a travel on skis in the area in accordance with the requirements of tactics, shooting, munitions, building fire stations and bases in the deep snow. Without significance proved to be the ability to start a fire and prepare a meal at temperatures sometimes exceeding - 30 degrees Celsius.
