Tatra 2009 Survive

0 comments

On the 22th of July, finally we put everything together to make our "into the wild" journey just real ! Our goal was: being in the Tatra for about 3days, 2nights under the open air, without being punished for x-1000 euros by the "TANAP" forces, TANAP means TAtry National Park.

Our equipment was about (per person):

-1 sleeping bag,
-1-2 iso foil,
-dry clothes,
-bandage, lint, betadine
-calcium + magnesium tablets
-food + drinks (only kremlin vodka), (we have the cleanest water just have to climb for it..)
-tooth washer + tooth paste.
We also had collectively:
  • 1 documentary adventure book (180kilometres from the southern pole, originally written by Ernest Shackleton)
  • 1 oil burner - as a cooking set (altered from a standard garden-torch which you can get from tesco for example)
  • 1 tent-cloth (for 2 people) without any wire-frame stiffener sticks and other..
Our experiences :

  1. Sleeping under the open-air on ~2000 meters above the water level, means that you should get wet morning welcomes by the nature, cause the clouds may passing exactly through you, caused by their decreased altitude, thanks to the air pressure changes at dawn, when overall temperature gets enough cold.
  2. Hiking in the Tatra is quite breathtaking and valuable source of experiments, and really worth to do that, you can make a relatively cheap charging with all the nice details which the nature can offer you.
