Survival(ist) has for many years been a somewhat mainstream media term. The sense of need for extensive food- and equipment stockpiles in a bunker seem to have completely replaced common sense approach to crisis situations. Or at least the understanding of preparedness for personal emergency or distress.

But there are still individuals who want to learn what survival really means, what kind of knowledge is needed, and what equipment might be useful.

Some questions we REALLY would like to challenge you on: How do you handle a simple infection, can you grow (enough) food after you've run out of canned food, and how do you assess whether this food is edible after being contaminated with fallout?
 

ROHRMÜLLER MEDICAL is especially fond of the medical side of survival, but we are not leaving other important things out. Also skills in finding shelter, food, crisis management and decision making as well as land navigation, travel and bushcraft are taught. Another focus is on mindset and courses of action, as well as consulting for different types of crisis- and preparedness scenarios. These are important topics both for instructors and course candidates.

This topic is also related to team building. We offer events for companies who want to combine gatherings while giving their employees useful knowledge and unforgettable memories at the same time which will tie them closer together.

Our goal is as always to increase knowledge which actually can be recalled in emergency situations. All teaching is based on already know skills and and a common sense approach.

Norway offers a landscape and weather conditions that are well suited for this kind of training.

My consulting services are aimed at you as a private person, family, or company / enterprise and consist of the following:

• We make an overview of situations you want to protect yourself from or crises you need to be prepared for. 
• We look at available resources, your living situation and working life (this includes also home office, travel and commuting or farming), how much money you have available for the purpose, how much time you can spend, your general health and other factors. 
• We then create a personal plan that applies to both procurement and training to test and evaluate whether this works and to be able to react more quickly in a crisis situation. 
• We reassess the need after a while and then adapt.

Some scenarios:

• Preparedness for families on crisis scenarios and robust solutions dependent on your prerequisites.
• Serious accident in the mountains / wilderness. Patient and resource management.
• Plane crash with a small aircraft / ulralight aircraft in a remote environment. Strategies for survival and utilization of relevant equipment until help arrives (Search and Rescue, SAR).
• Movement of a group through an unsafe area. Group dynamics, leadership and tactics.

Some learning goals (dependent on type of course / in cooperation with the customer):

• Utilizing basic principles in order to survive until help arrives.
• Tips and recommendations when help will NOT arrive.
• Correct use of relevant equipment. What type of gear do I need in order to increase my chance of survival?
• Which resources and strengths does a group have and how do people react under stress.
• Seasons and challenges in relation to body, terrain, active and passive dangers.
• Approach to crisis scenarios and decision making. Avoid versus survive.
• Bushcraft ("scouting"), versus camping, vs/ survival...

We communicate in English, Norwegian or German.
