Basic Survival Course in the Padise Forests
Usually, people think that getting lost and ending up in extreme situations only happens in movies. But is that really so? It can happen to any of us in very unexpected situations, places, and seasons. Certainly, we are not prepared or ready for such a possibility at that moment. Survival means that THANKS to your knowledge and skills, you are able to get out of a crisis situation on your own.
To cope with getting lost, you need knowledge and practical skills. The course includes a 3–4 hour basic survival training, where you quickly acquire the most essential knowledge and skills needed in a survival situation. You learn about the STOP rule — what it is and how to act when lost; about the survival kit — what it is and what it contains; fire — how to make and maintain fire and campfires, including starting a fire without matches; water — how to obtain and purify it; shelter — how to build one; food — sourcing food, edible plants, animals, and cooking food on a fire; orientation; and the necessary skills for handling rope and wire.
