Survival course

Activity Description

A 15-minute drive from Bratislava city center takes you to the small Carpathians, the beginning of the third longest range of mountains in Europe. Locals often enjoy their weekends in the forest which is literarily bordering the city. The Carpathian bushcraft survival course is a 2h learning experience which will make use of your wild side. It’s a team binding activity recommended for old friends as well as stag parties composed of different groups of friends. The teaching is meant to be fun so don’t be afraid if you have no outdoor skills: stepping outside of your comfort zone will make the experience more memorable! Of course, the bachelor will be given the hardest tasks. The idea is to teach you all the skills necessary to survive in the forest. Your professional instructor - a true forest man - will be your only guide:

Shelter building

First off, you’ll learn how to build a simple but necessary shelter with what the nature has provided.

Getting food and water

Animals are at home in the forest and you’ll need to defend as well as feed yourself. You’ll learn how to throw axes and knives on bears and build traps for smaller animals and wild boars. If you are unsuccessful (or you are a lost vegetarian), you’ll need help from plants. Your guide will help you identify the edible and the poisonous berries, mushrooms and insects. The bachelor should try some of them for his own sake 🙂

Fire!

Making a fire without matches/lighter is another task that you will have to master if you have to sleep in the forest and cook the animals that you captured.

Getting out

Finally, you’ll lean how to orientate yourself in the forest and find the north without a compass. This skill is probably the most important to exit the forest and find the closest pub!
