What temperatures can I expect at night? Will it rain or will it stay dry? Are there animals in the immediate vicinity? Are there critical areas in the terrain? (Rocks, danger of landslides, water, trees that are in danger of falling over, etc.) Is the place sheltered from the wind? What do I have for a Topography? What kind of material is available to me? Where do I make my fire? Contents: Hike from meeting point to bivouac site max 45 min. Create your own bivouac Cooking on the fire Moving in the forest Simple zoology and botany Enjoy and relax Packing list: Tarp or tarpaulin including a few meters of good cord or rope. If you don't have such material, you can let us know. We will then take a tarp for you Warm sleeping bag that matches the expected temperatures Mat, possibly with a small pad Crockery and cutlery Drinking bottle Hiking boots and sensible outdoor clothing for day and night Toiletries, small tissue, toilet paper, mosquito/tick repellent Pocket knife, lighter Headlamp Food: Before the course, we tell each participant what they need to bring so that we can all contribute something to the food FAQs: Where does the course take place? The course will take place in Eastern Switzerland at around 450 - 750 m above sea level. Depending on the weather and the number of people, we will decide at short notice on the exact meeting point. Can I travel by public transport? Of course, we'd be happy to. Contact us and we'll pick you up at a nearby train station or bus stop. How cold will it be at night? The best way to find out the current temperatures is to visit Meteoschweiz.ch or similar web services. Temperatures can vary greatly, especially in autumn and spring, so the most accurate information is the most current information, immediately before the course. Is my bivouac waterproof? Depending on the building materials available, you can assume it is almost waterproof. If it is likely to rain, we recommend having a tarp or sheet ready. Is there also vegetarian or vegan food? Yes, there is. Of course, we cannot fulfill all dietary requirements. If you have allergies or want to pay special attention to something, it is best to bring your own food. How do I go to the toilet? We will build a private outdoor toilet that we can use while in the forest. Are there any animals in the vicinity? We certainly hope so! But we certainly won't be surprised by larger or even dangerous animals. What happens in medical emergencies? We are always in an active mobile network and a vehicle is nearby, so help could be requested very quickly or we can move the person out of the forest relatively quickly. Can children also participate? Yes, of course, children can participate under the care and responsibility of an adult. Can I take the dog with me? Yes very much.
