Karelian brigade - NCO students on 40 hour / 40km march that contains different kind of tasks.

Seems they have to bring firewood with them.

In 2009 this contained among other things: setting up and then immediately taking down a tent, making fire, evacuation with gas masks on (part of the march was also with gas masks on), staying on map, distance evaluation, making a minefield and the best: +20 minute sleep in a tent. And some other things I can't remember. It started so that we first got the early wake up, cycled to camping site, set up the camp and test itself started later in afternoon. It was rather miserable weather like in this picture and then later it started snowing.

It shouldn't take 40h, but it does.
