🌄 A Day in the Life on a Survival Tour in Mali Me Gropa
Mali Me Gropa, meaning “Mountain with Holes,” is an untamed limestone plateau located southeast of Tirana. Known for its dramatic sinkholes, sparse vegetation, and stunning panoramic views, it’s the perfect playground for survival training in Albania.
Here’s what a typical day looks like on our survival-focused adventure:
🏕️ Morning – Gear Up & Survival Basics
- Start Point: We begin at our basecamp, where your professional guide gives a safety briefing and hands out essential survival gear (you’ll receive a survival kit, compass, fire-starting tools, and knife).
- Skills Taught:
- Basic navigation using a map and compass
- How to pack and carry your gear efficiently
- Leave-no-trace principles to protect the fragile ecosystem
You’ll also learn how to assess the environment for potential shelter locations and natural resources, crucial when you’re in the wild.
🥾 Midday – Trekking & Terrain Challenges
Once geared up, we venture deep into Mali Me Gropa’s karst terrain. The landscape is a mix of:
- Rocky outcrops
- Alpine meadows
- Sinkholes and limestone crevices
As we hike, you’ll practice:
- Route finding and risk assessment
- Water sourcing techniques (how to locate, filter, and purify water)
- Emergency signaling skills using mirrors, smoke, and natural materials
We’ll stop for a campfire lunch using wild ingredients and your own fire-starting skills — no lighters allowed!
🌲 Afternoon – Shelter Building & Fire Mastery
As the sun starts to dip, it’s time to get hands-on with core survival tactics:
- How to build different types of shelters (A-frame, debris hut, lean-to)
- Fire building under different conditions (wet wood, wind, and limited supplies)
- Using the environment to your advantage for warmth and safety
Your guide will walk you through how to make char cloth, how to identify edible plants, and what to avoid in the Albanian wilderness.
🔥 Evening – Camp Setup & Survival Reflection
By late afternoon, we’ll settle into a remote campsite. You’ll put all your skills to the test:
- Pitching tarp shelters or using natural materials
- Setting perimeter alarms using basic tools
- Preparing food in the wild with minimal tools
As darkness falls, stories are shared around the fire, and your guide offers insights into real-life survival situations from the Albanian mountains.
