Team
Sebastian Kamp
Dog musher & owner of Kiruna Husky
He has been living for 15 years as a professional dog sled guide and wilderness guide in northern Swedish Lapland. During this time, he has led many groups through the mountains and forests in the depths of winter. He does not always choose the easiest route, preferring to avoid cabins and marked trails, seeking adventure away from civilization in tents, bivouac sacks, or snow caves. He dedicates his life to his family and his sled dogs. He tests his own limits and those of his dogs in long-distance races of 600 km.
Survival Guide
Survival and bushcraft instructor, wilderness educator, industrial engineer, and expedition team leader. Growing up in the Swedish forest, he developed a deep connection to nature, which he has honed through countless adventures around the world. Alex’s expertise spans organizing Adventures, setting up safety protocols for challenging projects like 7vsWild, and training new team leaders for Wandermut. His field experience is vast and varied, including 600 km treks through the Sahara, jungle crossings, surviving on remote islands, and dog sledding in polar regions. Our full-time adventurer not only possesses a wide repertoire of hard and soft skills, but his enthusiasm and eye for the unnoticed is contagious
