Experience an unforgettable day out in the great outdoors and immerse yourself in the basics of survival – hands-on, safe and full of ‘aha’ moments. In this one-day survival course, you’ll learn how to find your way in the wilderness, build shelter, identify edible plants and make sensible use of natural resources. Whether you’re getting your first taste of bushcraft or want to brush up on your outdoor skills, this course combines adventure with practical knowledge that you can put to use straight away.
After a brief welcome and safety briefing, we’ll head out into the countryside together. You’ll learn how to choose a suitable campsite – one that’s not only comfortable but also sheltered and practical in case the weather takes a turn for the worse.
After that, it’s all about building a shelter: using branches and whatever nature provides, you’ll create a simple shelter. You’ll learn the basic structures and get tips on how to improve stability, insulation and weather protection. There’ll be plenty of trial and error, adjustments and optimisation – after all, survival is all about thinking creatively and finding solutions.
Orientation and basic ‘wilderness skills’ are also covered in detail. You’ll learn the basics of navigation, sensible rules of conduct in the wilderness, and tricks for assessing water sources and setting priorities in emergencies. Depending on the location and season, I’ll also show you edible or useful plants – always with a strong focus on safety and respect for nature.
In between, there’s time for a break in the heart of the countryside: fresh air, peace and quiet, the sounds of nature – and the satisfying feeling of having learnt something genuine. By the end, you’ll take away not just knowledge, but also self-confidence: you’ll know how to proceed step by step in an unfamiliar situation. A day that smells of adventure, feels like freedom and will stay with you for a long time to come.
