Winter Expedition: A Prehistoric Adventure

About the talk:
What is it like to live in the Stone Age in winter? Natascha van den Berg took up the challenge.
Together with five prehistoric experts from five different countries, she set off in February 2026
on a ten-day expedition to Sweden to practise her Stone Age techniques in wintry conditions.
During this talk, Natascha will take you along on this unique adventure.
She’ll reminisce about the journey and tell you about the expectations
she had beforehand and the experiences she ultimately gained.
“Winter is coming” – and that meant intensive preparation.  A long list of materials had to be gathered, clothes made and Stone Age tools collected. Preserving food and physical training.

A unique adventure that I’ll be telling stories about for years to come, round the campfire!

About the speaker:
Natascha van den Berg
In the spring of 2022, Natascha van den Berg began working as an Archaeological Interpreter at Archeon. There, she specialises in prehistory and the Middle Ages. Her passion is to experience and re-enact life in the Middle Ages and prehistoric times. She has spent many weekends and holidays dressed in historical costume, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Thanks to these experiences, I realised that spending time outdoors, practising crafts and passing on skills brings me joy.
Historical crafts teach me a great deal and make me feel more deeply connected to nature. I am also regularly hired by museums and bushcraft companies to run workshops and classes in traditional craft skills.
Natascha studied Graphic Design and Fine Art. In September 2023, she obtained her Associate degree as a bushcraft instructor at Aeres University of Applied Sciences.
