This past weekend, six Warriors from Bujinkan Macedonia successfully mastered the techniques for group survival in desert conditions. On temperatures above 42 degrees, the participants of “Life in the Wild” managed to overcome the all the challenges who appeared during the two days.

Although Macedonia has no deserts in the classical meaning of the word, nonetheless the instructor Igor Dovezenski chose a rocky and stony terrain known for its meager vegetation, as also a tiny yearly rainfall. The volcanic hills between the villages of Konjuh and Shopsko Rudare, perfectly brought the atmosphere to that of a desert climate.

During the seminar, Dovezenski taught his student how to chose the best suited location to build a temporary shelter, afterward where to find food and water, but also how to prepare them so they are safe for consumption. Besides this, the members of Bujinkan Macedonia learned many other techniques, among which: providing first aid during an injury, the making of weapons for hunting, fishing and defense, etc.

The techniques for survival in nature, for the most part Dovezenski has learned from his grandfather, who was a participant in the second world war and was awarded with a plethora of commendations, among which is the liberation of the city of Skopje. During the war in its aftermath, he was a scout in a tank battalion and the techniques for nature survival helped him many times to survive the difficult situations that he found himself in during those hard years.

This next summer, meaning the scenario of “Life in the Wild” will take place on a mountain higher than 1000 meters.

Slowly, but surely, this seminar too became a tradition that will go on from year to year.
We got to the fourth chapter of this story, that will take us this time to stranger and harsher living conditions.
During the first three events, the instructor Dovezenski taught his students how they can survive an extended period as a group as long as they take shelter in a mountain lower than 1000 meter, and also how to organize life by a river and in a forest.
“Life in the Wild IV”, will have the goal of teaching the members of Bujinkan Macedonia how to survive in desert conditions.

As was said during the first seminar, the warriors of the dojo every year will face different terrain meaning myriad geographical living conditions.

The seminar will be held under the presumed scenario of a natural catastrophe or other misfortune which demands a retreat to an inaccessible place and the organization of life during an extended time frame with a group of people. With the mastery of these new skills, the members of the dojo will be capable of taking care of their family and providing it with the basic necessities for life in the wilderness during an emergency.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn the techniques of surviving in nature, which in case of a natural catastrophe or another type of trouble will be more than necessary.

In the seminar may take part all the members of the dojo Bujinkan Macedonia / Taiyou e no Michi, regardless of their title or level of knowledge.

Necessary equipment: everything that can be useful during survival in nature and will fit in your backpack.
