Two-Day Intensive Survival & Crisis Preparedness Course with an Exclusive Overnight Stay in a Private Cold War Bunker

Stay Prepared. Stay Capable.

Whether you're exploring the outdoors, hiking in the mountains, or faced with an unexpected emergency, preparation is what enables you to remain calm, capable, and in control.

This two-day intensive course provides practical, hands-on skills to help you respond effectively in realistic emergency scenarios, prioritise critical actions, and make sound decisions with limited resources.

Our focus is on real-world application – not classroom theory.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the course, you will develop the confidence to make clear decisions under pressure while mastering essential survival techniques, including:

• Protection from cold weather and the elements
• Finding, collecting, and treating water in the wilderness
• Land navigation with and without equipment
• Emergency signalling and communication techniques
• Procedures for operating in shelters and confined environments

All training is delivered through practical exercises in realistic outdoor conditions.

Course Highlights

One of the defining features of this programme is an overnight stay in our private Cold War bunker.

This unique environment provides the opportunity to practise crisis preparedness, shelter management, and emergency organisation under realistic yet carefully controlled conditions.

Course Content

During the training you will cover:

• The psychology of stress and emergency situations
• Risk assessment and hazard management

Training Location

The course takes place on a secure, privately owned former military training site covering approximately 700 m².

The location offers an ideal environment for realistic instruction in survival, emergency preparedness, and crisis management.

A particular highlight is the original Cold War bunker, which serves as a dedicated training facility for practical emergency scenarios.

Practical Experience & Professional Exchange

In addition to intensive practical training, the course encourages discussion and the sharing of experiences.

Each training day concludes in a relaxed and professional atmosphere, allowing ample time for questions, debriefing, and expert discussion.

Equipment & Preparation

The course is based on realistic scenarios where participants may have nothing more than a standard day pack available.

You will learn how to work efficiently with minimal equipment and safely manage an unexpected overnight stay outdoors.

Equipment can be tailored to your preferred approach, from minimalist to comfort-oriented.

A detailed kit list will be provided upon registration.
