It's me – Martin.

I have long avoided the forest and nature.

My family always took me with them on boring hikes. It was dull for me. I think it was the compulsion. I always had to go.

But then, as an adult, I gradually discovered nature.

It drew me out into the wilderness.

Survival and bushcraft excite me

After all, I did my first survival course in 2016. Since then, I've also had a passion for bushcraft.

Deep down, I've always felt drawn to nature. It allows me to escape the big city and focus on myself. That feels good.

It doesn't matter whether it's survival, trekking, hiking or bushcraft: I can switch off and find myself.

Activities in nature mean rest, relaxation and contentment for me.

In 2018 I decided that I wanted to write about it. Communicate findings and information to other interested parties. I want to start a conversation and find like-minded people.

Now I am writing the articles here – and other authors are also involved. Guest authors as well as nature-loving people who like hiking, pottering, testing survival techniques or just camping.

My vision

I hope that you end my articles with aha moments.

Or I can motivate you to head out into the wild and try new things.

Yes - I want you to get hungry for nature.

For me, survival and bushcraft means reactivating the knowledge and techniques of lost instincts and skills.

As you develop your skills, you will become freer and more confident.

Nature should be your home. You must not feel like an alien who has just landed on our earth.

In this sense: live close to nature, feel the wilderness.
