Pyramid of Survival – Car Equipment – living in nature, in conditions of isolation.

Whether it’s an adventure in nature, in isolated areas, or the dynamics of life can lead you into surprising situations, basic survival techniques help you stay safe and endure whatever the challenges.

The pyramid of needs

Abraham Maslow is one of the most renowned psychologists. He devoted an important part of his career searching for the meaning of life. After many years of research, he managed to deliver a consistent map of human needs. First in a paper titled “A theory about human motivation” and later in his book titled “Motivation and personality”. His works led to the famous Pyramid of Maslow.

All human needs are categorized in a five-level hierarchy:

  1. Physiological
  2. Security
  3. Social
  4. Self-esteem and
  5. Self-actualization

The first two are the basic needs. The next two are the emotional needs. The fifth is the need for self-fulfillment. They dictate the rules of all human behavior.

FUNDAMENTAL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES

living in nature, in conditions of isolation.

Whether it’s an adventure in nature, in isolated areas, or the dynamics of life can lead you into surprising situations, basic survival techniques help you stay safe and endure whatever the challenges.

Pyramid of Survival (principles, concepts, rule 3330, KISS rule);
Topography (map knowledge, legend, scale, station point determination, azimuth, route);
Knowledge of compass and GPS;
Navigation with map and compass (route through the forest of about 3-5 km)
Determining cardinal points by alternative methods (other than compass and GPS);
Bivouac (improvised shelters, principles, types and methods of construction).
The participants of the course will spend a night in nature in the shelters built by them or in the tent;
We actively support the idea of ​​spending a night in nature, in a bivouac, to increase the moral-volitional qualities of the trainees, but if among the participants there are people who do not want this, then they can go home in the evening of training day number 1 and come back on day number 2 at first hour to continue the activity;

Types of fires;
Fire ignition methods;
Determining water sources – procurement, filtering (types of filters), storage and transportation of water;
Food of animal and vegetable origin (procurement, testing, preparation, storage and transport);
Behavior of wild animals;
Traps (types of traps, principles, mode of operation and location);
Climbing knots;
The survival knife;
Survival kit (contents, method of use);
Signs of improvement/deterioration of weather given by nature (weather situation);
Mission/trip planning;
First aid in conditions of isolation (primary diagnosis, intervention, stabilization, patient transport, types of improvised stretchers);
Human performance and limitations (physiological aspects, hypoxia, hypoxic hypoxia, hypobarism, hypoxic gradient, baric gradient and thermal gradient);
Protection, first aid and hypothermia intervention;
International signs and signals for help and response to land and air rescuers;
Technical survival equipment (technical-tactical characteristics, choice, use, maintenance and storage);
Necessary equipment
Mountain blouse and pants (ideal for trekking in cordura, cotton, schoeller, etc.);
Mountain shoes, MTR sports shoes or ankle boots (we recommend all season boots);
Rain suit (ideally Gore-Tex blouse and trousers or raincoat);
Backpack of 30-40 liters;
Headlamp;
Sleeping bag (with the comfort index suitable for the season);
Isoprene (sleeping mattress);
Knife with a length of 20-25 cm preferably with a fixed blade;
Water can with metal cup;
Amnar (fire ignition device);
Paracord – resistant synthetic thread 2-4 mm thick and 20 m long;
Old cotton T-shirt that will be used as textile waste;
