Hi /out/
In february ill be going to slovakia with an expedition team (together with the organization biosphere). We will be tracking and analyzing the behaviour of wolves, lynx, bears, etc. Has anyone of you ever done this? Do you need a gun( i am an underage faggot, can i get one?) i have done some hiking but nothing like this before. Some tips and tricks would be welcome :)

/out/ is a slow board, no need to bump after two minutes.

I suppose that if you're going with a team, they know what to do already. Still, Slovakia is a safe place, there's no reason you need a gun, and you won't be allowed to have one either.

Your greatest danger is pic related. There are great risks of tick-borne encephalitis, the worst disease you can get from a tick, even worse than Lyme. There's a vaccine for it that lasts for a couple years, do it, and pack some bug repellant so you don't get any other disease.

Otherwise, just ask people you're going there with.

Since Iam from Germany I can't exactly say how the weather in Slovakia is. But its Winter. This could be a hint.

Czechfag with Slovakian relatives here

I doubt you will see more of a bear,wolf or lynx than a footprint or old shit (especially in winter when bears still hibernate)
You would need some park official as an escort if you are afraid and want a gun with your group and I'm 100% sure you can't bring your own gun at any terms as a tourist, especially if you are underage (what are you even doing here you little shitface?)
>tips
good clothes if you go to mountains (where else you would look for big predators), temperatures can go as low as -40°C and windy as fuck if weather is REALLY bad, although at that point you should call Mountain rescue service, they are equipped for it)

repellent is must-have in summer, but I doubt it would have any use in February other than firestarter
