About this Class

The Survivalkurs-Basic is intended for those who would like to get a taste of the topic of "survival" without immediately investing in a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, etc. and sleeping out in the forest. A packed lunch as a light midday snack is included. Anyone who would like to sleep in a self-built emergency shelter should take a look at the two-day Survivalkurs-Advanced course.

Contents

Road To Know Where

We’re on the road in our car, taking the long-awaited road trip. We haven’t seen another vehicle for hours. Then it happens:

Car trouble. The car has stalled and won’t start again!

But that’s not all: No signal, no GPS reception, summer is over, and the nights here are already bitterly cold. Murphy’s law, indeed. What now? Sit and wait? Or take our fate into our own hands and act?

We’ll explore this intriguing question in this one-day course.


Structure

During this one-day course, we will use a minimum of sensible equipment from our car and our EDC backpack (Every Day Carry) to manage our unplanned stay and turn it into an adventure. We will navigate in the terrain, build an emergency shelter from tarps, emergency blankets, or similar materials, light a fire, make water safe to drink, determine our exact position, and prepare for our rescue.


Prerequisites

Normal physical health. Recommended age: 14 and older.

Packing List

At least 1 liter of water, weatherproof clothing, knife (e.g. Swiss Army knife, multitool, or similar), cup, sit pad, notepad, pen, small hygiene kit, sunscreen, mosquito repellent

Board & Overnight

A light lunch in the form of a packed meal is included.

Certificate

After the course, each participant receives a handout in PDF format.

Hello, my name is Andreas, and I teach survival and bushcraft courses under the name
KIENSPAN UND KOMPASS.
I started out as a “classic preparedness enthusiast” in 2011 and soon took my first survival course. From then on, I was captivated by the fascination of “being outdoors.” Many more courses with various providers followed, and that’s how I discovered what may be the loveliest way to spend my free time:
Experiencing nature.
And EXPERIENCING it is meant literally and with all the senses: rain, snow, cold, heat, the sounds of the forest, how its scents change over the course of the year, how quiet it can become there in winter, the fresh green of spring….
Often, nature makes up for a bitterly cold night, for example, with a fantastic sunrise in crystal-clear air, or a buzzard flying so close overhead that you could almost reach out and touch it.

Alongside the practical survival skills covered in a one-day course, which could save your life in an emergency (on a road trip, hike, etc.), it is very important to me to help people reconnect with nature.
To that end, I offer survival weekends. We might sleep in improvised shelters we’ve built ourselves and move beyond pure survival towards bushcraft (woodcraft). We also cover basic knife skills, water purification, and more.

When I was looking for a suitable name for my website, I focused on what I believe are the most important things in an emergency—at least here in Central Europe. First, the ability to find your way to a safe place independently: that is, navigation using a compass and map, and (if necessary) natural aids. Second, protection from hypothermia, by far the greatest life-threatening danger in our climate. That is why these two subject areas make up a large part of the course modules.

Before I began working exclusively on KIENSPAN UND KOMPASS, I taught for several years for the company wolfaround in Münster.

Hallo mein Name ist Andreas und ich unterrichte Survival- und Bushcraftkurse unter dem Namen
KIENSPAN UND KOMPASS.
Angefangen als "klassischer Krisenvorbereiter" 2011 kam ich schnell zu meinem ersten Survivalkurs. Von da an hatte mich die Faszination "draußen sein" gepackt. Diesem ersten Kurs folgten dann noch viele weitere bei verschiedenen Anbietern und so kam ich zu der wohl schönsten Freizeitbeschäftigung:
Natur erleben.
Und ERLEBEN ist wortwörtlich und mit allen Sinnen gemeint; Regen, Schnee, Kälte, Hitze, die Geräusche des Waldes, wie sich dort der Geruch im Laufe des Jahres ändert und es dort im Winter ganz still werden kann, das frische Grün im Frühling….
Oftmals entschädigt die Natur z.B. eine bitterkalte Nacht dann mit einem fantastischen Sonnenaufgang bei glasklarer Luft, oder einem Mäusebussard der zum Greifen nahe über einen hinwegfliegt.

Neben ganz pragmatischem Survivalwissen eines Tageskurses welches in einer Notlage (Roadtrip, Wanderung, etc) Leben retten kann, liegt es mir sehr am Herzen die Menschen wieder ein Stück zurück zur Natur zu bringen.
Dafür biete ich Survival-Wochenenden an. Dort schlafen wir z.B. auch in selbstgebauten Notunterkünften und gehen etwas weg vom reinen Survivalgedanken Richtung Bushcraft (Waldhandwerk). Dazu kommen dann grundlegende Messertechniken, das Aufbereiten von Wasser etc.

Als ich nach einem passenden Namen für meine Seite gesucht habe, habe ich mich auf die meines Erachtens nach wichtigsten Punkte in einer Notlage konzentriert. Zumindest bei uns hier in Mitteleuropa. Zum einen die Fähigkeit selbstständig einen sicheren Ort aufzusuchen: Also Orientierung mittels Kompass + Karte und (notfalls) auch natürlichen Hilfsmitteln. Zum Anderen der Schutz vor Unterkühlung, die in unseren Breiten die mit Abstand größte lebensbedrohliche Gefahr darstellt. Daher nehmen beide Themenbereiche große Teile der Unterrichtsmodule ein.

Bevor ich anfing mich ausschließlich um KIENSPAN UND KOMPASS zu engagieren, habe ich einige Jahre für die Fa. wolfaround aus Münster unterrichtet.
