Beginning

Our goal is to help you to survive any range of situation. From benign and realistic, to difficult and fantastical. No situation will remain untouched.

Sure some of them may be a little bizarre, like I don't really expect nuclear holocaust or alien abductions. But many people in their lifetime will run into a burglar breaking into their home, or get lost while hiking on a local trail. Not to mention the common occurrences of electrical blackouts and freak weather conditions.

Many future posts will be greatly informative, with a healthy dose of humor. Fueled by my past training and expertise.

So what qualifies me to write this blog?

When it comes to the wild and unrealistic, I'm a great reader of science fiction and fantasy, I watch countless movies, and play all sorts of video games.

For real and tangible experience, I have been a Scout for 16 years, and have lead courses on survival and trained people of all ages, experiences, and backgrounds. I've even had hands-on jungle survival training from former American green berets. I've built improvised emergency shelters in the arctic, I've de-husked coconuts in central america, I've caught animals in snares, I've stalked a moose, I've run class 4 rapids in an open canoe, and I've even made all sorts of things out of duct tape.

Whatever it may be, keep reading and learn how to survive it all.
