Survival Training

Read tracks, interpret animal sounds, turn plant fibers into cords and ropes, carve a spear sledge with the penknife, leave the hiking tracks behind and orientate yourself without any tools - or with a map and a compass - in the terrain. With a wilderness guide in the forest - experience nature up close. Instead of high-tech equipment and a variety of modern tools, learning basic survival techniques is about topics such as orientation, making fire, finding water, food and shelter.

• How do I orient myself with a compass and a map, how do I orient myself with the sun? And how do I determine the cardinal points even without the sun and without a compass?
• How do I find water in the wildness? And how do I make it potable?
• How do I make fire with different tools?
• Which wild plants are edible?
• How do I cook without a pot and a pan?
• How do I build a rainproof shelter for night-time?

Depending on the time available, you will learn about carefully chosen survival skills and deepen the acquired knowledge through practical experimentation. But don’t worry: you won’t have to eat earthworms!
