Would you like to learn to move more safely outdoors and feel a direct connection to nature again? In this three-day Survival Basics Training, you’ll learn fundamental wilderness skills—without military drills or apocalyptic scenarios. Even with no prior experience, you can gain practical experience alongside a small group, try your hand at wilderness crafts, and strengthen your own approach to challenges.

In our Primitive Survival training courses, we teach the knowledge and skills needed to live and survive in nature with minimal equipment. The aim is to compensate for the lack of equipment through knowledge, skills, improvisation, and physical presence. The focus is on the four basic needs: fire, water, shelter, and food. Getting to know, testing, and gradually expanding your physical and mental strengths sustainably changes how you see yourself. Knowing that you can ultimately find your way and ensure your survival anytime and anywhere creates a profound sense of security in today's uncertain times.

Would you like to spend a night under the starry sky and build your own shelter from natural materials? During our Wilderness Survival Weekend, you’ll learn traditional techniques and practical skills for living in nature. Together, we’ll discover edible plants, make cordage from natural materials, and prepare food over the fire. You’ll spend time outdoors and learn to experience nature with heightened awareness.

In this training, we will immerse ourselves deeply in the wilderness around us together with the participants. Over the course of a year, participants will learn extensive survival and wilderness skills, alongside skills for meeting the basic needs of warmth, shelter, food, and water. This involves expanding one’s perception, reading the landscape, making food found in the wild edible, the psychology of survival, understanding oneself and community, tracking, navigation, and physical presence and fitness. A deep connection with nature forms the basis of all these areas and runs through the training as a central element. The aim is for participants, after completing this year, to move through nature with new eyes. Tracks on the ground will tell stories. Their comfort zones will have expanded, and fears will have lost their power. They will perceive their surroundings as alive and full of possibilities.

The Survival Basic Training is the perfect introduction to familiarizing yourself with the subject of survival. At the same time, it is the first training course in the Survival Annual Cycle Training program. Over this weekend, you will learn all the skills you need to survive in nature without any aids such as food, water, a sleeping bag, tent, knife, or lighter. (Don’t worry! During the training, we will mostly sleep in tents and have our meals prepared for us 🙂 You will discover that nature provides everything you need for a life of abundance and learn to meet your basic needs in and with nature without exploiting it. In addition, the course will help you get to know yourself better and apply what you have learned in your everyday life straight away.You will therefore also be prepared for “survival situations” in everyday life and learn, for example, to respond differently to social and professional challenges.
