About Me

 I am a seasoned survival expert, prepper, and former U.S. Navy Submariner. I have over a decade of experience in the field of survival and emergency preparedness. During my time in the Navy, I received extensive training in emergency preparedness and developing a "survive & thrive" mindset, which I later honed in challenging and high-pressure environments during my deployments.

After leaving the U.S. Navy, I continued developing my knowledge of and skills in emergency preparedness. I have spent years learning under the top experts in the fields of bushcraft, wilderness survival, and emergency preparedness, and have "field tested" what I've learned from them.

I also have a strong desire to pass on what I've learned to equip future generations to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. In this effort, I have authored several books on prepping, bushcraft, wilderness survival, gardening, and homesteading. 

Through my wilderness survival, bushcraft, and emergency preparedness books and consultations, I strive to instill confidence, resilience, and self-sufficiency in my readers and clients. I believe that everyone has the potential to adapt and overcome, and my mission is to equip individuals with the tools they need to thrive in any environment.

Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a prepper, or simply looking to gain valuable life skills, I'm here to help guide you on your journey to becoming self-reliant, confident, and prepared.
