Survival — what to do when the world around you stops working
Practical survival from former members SOG, URN and the 601st Special Forces Group. Orientation without signal, emergency evacuation, water, fire, shelter. Half-day and multi-day with overnight stay.
A course must change a person's response, not just fill a calendar
Real practice, not a stage show
The course is sold by seeing the instructor's work and people's reactions.
GBH does not teach fear. It teaches a specific response under pressure.
Corporate team
A model situation will show who is in charge and who is waiting.
Institution
The course builds on building operations, roles and responsibilities.
The instructor corrects the participant's specific response in real time.
We build scenarios according to the environment: school, company, office, public space.
A person leaves the course with a simple procedure for the first minutes.
Choose a course by target: person, team or institution.

What you will learn
Orientation and navigation without GPS
Map, compass and azimuth, step distance estimation and sun orientation. How to find your way and not get lost when your phone and GPS fail — right on the real route.
Provision and treatment of drinking water
Where to look for drinking water in nature and how to collect it from springs, rain or morning dew. Safe treatment by filtration, boiling and chemical treatment so that the water does not suffocate you.
Fire making and maintenance
Making a fire with flint, a magnifying glass and friction, preparing dry kindling and fuel. How to start and maintain a fire even in rain and wind — for warmth, cooking and signalling.
Emergency shelter and overnight accommodation in the field
Choosing a safe place, building a shelter from natural materials or a tarp and insulation from the cold ground. How to spend the night outside and avoid hypothermia.
Emergency evacuation in the city
What to do when transport, mobile and payments stop working. Planning an escape route, moving with luggage and orientation to safe points in the landscape.
Mental resilience and decision making
Survival priorities and stress management, decision-making in the absence of information and group leadership in a communication breakdown. A cool head is more decisive than equipment.
Close up training
Orientation, Water, Fire, Shelter and evacuation — shot after shot from real terrain.

From a safe team event to an overnight stay and early morning evacuation.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe? Who is it suitable for?
Yes. The course does not assume the athlete's physical condition. We work at the pace of the group, no marathon marches. The instructor adapts the level of difficulty to the real condition of the participants.
What do you need to bring?
Layered clothing according to the weather, sturdy shoes, flashlight, water bottle. We will send a detailed list after ordering. We provide specialized equipment (pencil, map, shovel).
Can we also do it as a corporate event?
Yes — typical business format. For a multi-day program, we provide a partner guesthouse / cottage with full board. We bill as a safety-education course (MV ČR accreditation), so companies can pay from FKSP and Benefit Plus.
When and where does it take place?
Most often spring-autumn, trips to Brd, Krkonoše or Jeseníky according to the group. Individual term for companies. We announce open dates approximately twice a year.
