BASIC NAVIGATION (LEVEL 2)

  • Baseplate Compass

    Map

    Route card

  • Basic navigation is a crucial survival skill, allowing us to find our way in the wilderness and reach our destinations safely. Mastering navigation techniques with a compass or landmarks ensures we stay on course, plan efficient routes, and confidently explore new areas. In emergencies, these skills become invaluable, guiding us back to safety or signaling for help. Building self-confidence and self-reliance, basic navigation enriches our outdoor experiences and fosters a deeper connection with nature.

  • Finding directions to a destination

    When you’re lost

    Planning a route

First, you'll delve into the 5 D's of navigation, understanding how to determine your destination, find the right direction, measure distance, provide accurate descriptions, and estimate duration.

    Next, you'll be introduced to the art of compass reading, unlocking the ability to comprehend directions and bearings like a true adventurer.

    But it doesn't stop there! You'll also learn the art of using Route Cards, enabling you to plan routes effectively and maintain a steady pace.

    The true adventure begins as you put your newfound skills to the test. Working collaboratively as a team, you'll navigate around the campsite, seeking various items crucial for the next activity. Not only will this activity strengthen your bond with fellow participants, but it will also foster leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills – all while immersing you in the wonders of nature.

INTRODUCTION TO BASIC IMPROVISED FIRST AID (LEVEL 2)

  • First Aid Kit Set ( Display)

    Crepe bandage

    Portable emergency stretcher

    Splint

    Saline Solution

    Sterile gauze

  • Improvised first aid is a vital skill for outdoor enthusiasts, enabling us to respond to injuries and medical emergencies with resourcefulness and ingenuity. Mastering improvised first aid empowers us to provide immediate assistance when traditional medical supplies are unavailable. Whether it's using clothing as bandages, sticks as splints, or nature's resources for wound cleaning, this skill significantly increases our ability to handle unexpected situations in the wilderness. Being well-versed in improvised first aid is a crucial aspect of responsible outdoor exploration, ensuring the safety and well-being of ourselves and our fellow adventurers.

  • Tending to injuries

    Immediate first aid attention

  • For this segment, we firmly believe that hands-on practice is the key to effective first aid learning. You will engage in interactive activities that introduce them to potential real-life dangers and accidents encountered during expeditions. Through scenarios requiring immediate attention, you will learn to apply first aid to one another, honing your skills in a practical setting.

    Moreover, you will be trained to use a portable stretcher and splint, gaining valuable insights into resourcefulness by utilizing everyday items for first aid purposes. For instance, you’ll discover how to use shirts as slings, showcasing the importance of improvisation in emergency situations. This hands-on approach will empower you to respond confidently and efficiently when faced with medical emergencies, making the learning experience engaging and impactful.
