2-day survival course in Bagno di Romagna

A weekend without Netflix and Wi-Fi, just you and the wilderness. Could you do it?

If the answer is yes, then you can't miss our 2-day survival course in Bagno di Romagna, where you'll leave behind everything you know to learn how to fend for yourself in the wilderness. Together with experienced instructors, you will discover how to build a fire, build a shelter, find your way in the woods and much more.

This is the perfect opportunity to test yourself and get your fill of adventure. We are waiting for you!

What we will do

We will meet on Saturday at 9 a.m. in Bagno di Romagna (FC) and, after meeting the instructors and the other participants, we will drive up to an altitude of 500 metres to reach base camp.

We will spend this first day in the Rio Salso Valley with a series of activities that are fundamental for survival. In a mix of theory and practice, we will learn how to:

• Setup a safe and organisedcamp;
• Light a fire effectively, using different types of primers;
• Build a shelter using natural materials;
• Use the pocket knife appropriately and safely;
• Tie basicknots useful in emergency situations.

The evening will be a true return to basics: we will have the opportunity to sleep under the stars in shelters built with our own hands. If we prefer a more comfortable solution, we can opt for a tent or, in case of bad weather, for a heated yurt provided by the organisers.

For dinner, we will cook together! We will team up to prepare simple and nutritious dishes, based on local ingredients such as porcini mushrooms, corn, cheese, polenta... (vegan and vegetarian options also available). It will be an opportunity to learn more about mountain foods, learn how to preserve them and discover tricks for true survivalist cooking.

After a night in the wilderness, on Sunday we will devote ourselves to new survival challenges. The second day will be entirely practical and we will focus on:

• Waterpurification techniques;
• Orientation in the forest without the use of technology, using only a compass and natural landmarks.

The course will end around 5 p.m. on Sunday.
