We decided do the self-organized trip in Jegersberg (forest area near to UNI). It took place from 11 to 14 of March. Normally, at this time the snow should be here, but this year the weather conditions are changing and the weather was sunny, without snow and without rain.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Jegersberg is not really a mountainous area, but rather a forest area for easy hiking. There are a lot of tracks that we used to practice orienteering. Also you can find a lot of lakes and swampy areas. The highest point it\u00b4s not more than 250 meters up to level sea.<\/span><\/h6>\n
With this in mind we opted for the following learning outcomes:<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 constructing natural shelters<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 get to know the area better<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 get to know one another<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 improve fitness<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 develop a stronger connection with the environment<\/span><\/h6>\n
We started the trip the morning of 11th<\/sup> March. We hiked from the university to Glattetrevannet Lake, where we installed our camping. We spent two nights in the same camping area. Then we hike to another area and we camped close to Kyrtjonn\u00a0Lake. At the next morning we came back home.<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were very fortunate, the weather was sunny and warm during the day and the nights were not so cold.<\/span><\/h6>\n
We were a group of nine persons and we organized the camp with the next structure:<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6 persons slept in shelters (3 in each shelter)<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3 persons slept in tippy.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n
We had a common fire place and around this area we did a lot of different activities (cook in the fire, woodcarving, baking bread, building natural seats between trees, started pagoda fire with matches, listened music, told stories\u2026)<\/span><\/h6>\n

LEARNING OUTCOMES<\/span><\/h6>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hiking<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h6>\n
In total we hiked 10-12 km. Always had a person in charge of leading the group using the compass and the map. We put in practice knowledge like bearings, under bearing, looking navigation points, cross bearing.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Before start the trip we shared the food and the equipment in each back pack. We consider it appropriate to distribute the weight evenly.<\/span><\/h6>\n
