Precious stones

Life is the shore,
and brotherhood
is the fire where
we gather stones

This is where the strong in spirit come together, hungry for real experiences. We look for limits where others stop — deep in the sea, under a paraglider, on steep mountain slopes and in rushing rivers, in the saddle across endless fields. We know what it is like to walk through a blizzard in a winter forest — and how a real team is born around the fire after a hard day on the trail

Imagine life is a shore, and every time you push past yourself, every challenge you face head-on, is a precious stone — a yakhont. The more of these “stones” you have — vivid, sharp experiences — the richer and longer your life. We are here to help each other build our collections. So there is something to tell at the family table and something to remember with friends while staring into the fire

Brotherhood rests on three things

  • Friendship

    A team is born by the fire after a hard day on the trail. Friendships made here last a lifetime

  • Mutual support

    In a blizzard or on a wild river you rely on your people, not just yourself. Your own will be the first to offer a hand

  • Respect

    For nature, for your companions, for yourself. Without it, no route makes it to the end

What about snakes, ticks and swamps?

Honestly: wild nature is part of the trip, and we respect it. We scout every route in advance and know where adders and boggy ground can be found — we go around dangerous spots or cross them as a tight group with a guide. Before the start there is a briefing: how to dress so ticks do not get you and what to do if you meet a snake. The instructor carries a first-aid kit and a satellite communicator, the route is registered, and we keep a pace that suits the group. Not “risk-free” — but with conscious, well-practised rules.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • I've never been on a hike. Can I handle it?

    Yes. We have routes for complete beginners — the instructor eases you in, the pace is comfortable and we provide the gear. Start with a weekend hike

  • Can I come alone? Who will be in my group?

    Absolutely — most people come on their own. Groups are small, 6–12 people. We get to know each other in a group chat before the start, and after the first evening by the fire you already have your crew.

  • How fit do I need to be?

    It depends on the route — every trip has a difficulty level. “Beginner” needs only everyday activity; “Moderate” means being able to walk 15–20 km a day. Not sure? Ask in the chat and we will find the right route.

  • What should I bring, and what do you provide?

    Tents, sleeping bags, boats and safety gear are pooled and shared within the team. Before the trip we send a personal packing list and help with equipment — you travel light.

  • What about safety and insurance?

    Our instructors have 5+ years of experience, certification and rescue training. Every participant is insured for the duration of the route; the instructor carries a first-aid kit and a satellite communicator, and the route is registered with the authorities.

  • Snakes, ticks and swamps — should I be scared?

    Wild nature is part of the trip, and we respect it. We scout routes in advance and avoid dangerous spots. Before the start there is a briefing: how to dress against ticks and what to do if you meet a snake.
