Moving quietly off-road - the art of silent steps
Imagine a moonless night. The forest is silent, only a faint wind rustles in the treetops. Every branch you step on suddenly sounds like a gunshot. Every wrong step betrays you. Anyone who has ever tried to ...
Improvised clothing made from natural materials - when nature becomes a tailor
Just imagine: You're outside for longer than planned. A storm rolls in, the temperature drops, your clothes are soaked. Or worse still - they are damaged or lost. What are you left with? It's at times like these that the question arises: ...
Protection from insects in the wild - between necessity and quality of life
It's a strange contradiction: nature is our retreat, our place of longing - and at the same time it is teeming with tiny creatures that can make life difficult for us. Anyone who has ever lain in a tent on a summer night without a net knows ...

Building improvised fishing rods - securing food with simple means
Imagine you are standing by a stream, the water is rushing and you can see the shadows of fish between the stones and water plants. You're hungry, but there's no equipment for miles around. No rod, no reel, no tackle box full of bait. ...
Self-protection in the forest - staying safe when nature becomes a challenge
