Off-Grid Survival Digital Toolkit

The Skills You Need For When The Emergency Lasts A Long Time 

Hyperinflation, devastating floods, supply chain failures, extreme heat and cold, a global pandemic, wildfires, drought, dollar devaluation, power outages, food shortages, water contamination . . .

The 2020's have not started out well for most of us.

I’ve been prepared for decades. I knew disruptions were on the horizon. But, I never thought some of what we've experienced would happen so quickly . . .

Not too long ago, my elderly mother died peacefully in her sleep.  Of course, I knew it was going to happen sometime (she was 93 years old and bed-ridden).  But when it actually did happen, although it wasn’t a surprise, it certainly was a shock. 

I’ve known for many years the crisis we are facing now would happen.  And, like my mom dying, it wasn’t a surprise, but it still is a shock.

I bet it’s a shock for you, too. 

The worst of it is, there's no end in sight . . .

And it's all only likely to get worse as our "modern" systems continue to fail us.

When Crazy friends aren’t so crazy

For the past two decades I have been completely obsessed with figuring out how to live well when there is major chaos and change going on in the world.

To learn how to survive – thrive even – when the world is falling apart, you don’t go to Martha Stewart. 

You don’t tune in to the Kardashians, and you don’t look to Beyonce.

I’ve sought out and spent time with people who live in the backwoods, way far away from civilization. 

Some of these people don’t smell good, they often have lots of unkempt body hair, and the clothes they wear are more functional than fashionable.  What looks like junk to us, is a treasure to them.  They are not normally the kind of people you want to hang out with.  Everything from nomads, hunter-gathers, rednecks, hermits, dumpster divers, hardcore survivalists, and barefoot crazies.

In fact, most ‘normal’ people go to great lengths to avoid these outcasts.  But, I’m so grateful that I’ve befriended these crazy people.  And, I’m so grateful that they have followed the beat of a different drum and kept alive some super important skills. 

And you know what?  Most of them are unaffected by what is going.

For the most part, they are healthy and well-fed.  

Some of them live so far out, they don’t even know what is going on right now.

Primitive Skills

For the past decade, my daughter and I have also attended primitive skills gatherings.  These are places where you can learn the skills ancient hunter-gathers all knew.  How to tan skins with just the brains of the animal, how to navigate by the stars, how to purify water, how to hunt, and how to make medicine from plants. 

I remember back before 2008 when being called a “Prepper” was a big insult. 

But, I didn’t care. 

I developed more skills and began teaching others . . .

In 2003 I earned my Permaculture Design Certificate.

In 2009 I created DVD on how to grow food that went viral. 

In 2013 I was featured by National Geographic as an expert in survival and preparedness in the second season of their hit series “Doomsday Preppers”.

In 2017 I was featured in an award-winning Reuters contest on food sustainability.

In 2019 I was added to Who’s Who In America® for all the backyard gardens I’ve helped create.   (Yes, it really surprised me too . . .  I mean, isn’t that list only for big politicians and famous actors?)

And, while I don’t know if you are ever really prepared . . . I do have some skills. 

Can I help you pick out the best gun for personal defense?

No, that is not what I am about. 

Yes, I do understand that as things deteriorate, there will be more violence. 

And, yes, I do have guns, ammo, and the skills to use them.  Yes, absolutely.

I am also training in Shotokan Karate and JuJitsu.  I am a huge believer in practicing situational awareness.

Yes, the world is likely to get much more dangerous. 

But, one of the truths about long term survival in hard times is that you are far more likely to die from starvation than from a bullet. 

And, while I recognize the dangers, I am primarily about working together and building community.

The skills most overlooked are the ones you most desperately need

I grew up in the South.  In high school I loved to play sports and I was also in the chorus.  Our teachers and coaches would often stop the bus on field trips to visit historical sites.  Many of those sites were battle fields from the Civil war.

The focus was always on the men: who fought, who died, who won.

I always wondered: what did the women and children do during those times?  

Who kept those men fed, made medicines, treated their wounds, managed the farms and ranches while the strongest were off fighting?  

How did families survive when the cupboards were bare and the tools melted down for weapons?

The focus of a crisis is often on the flashy news, the ‘war’, and the violence.  The media is famous for saying “if it bleeds, it leads”.

But, how do you handle the day-to-day of real life?  How do you feed your family when the shelves are empty?  How do you clean a wound when there is no doctor?  How do you make shoes so you aren’t hobbled?  How do you live when the fridge is out?  Where can you find wild foods?  How do you preserve food when you find a bounty?

In our modern age, who knows these skills and how can you acquire them?

Skills transfer from people who really live this

I knew that someday the skills, stories, and wisdom from all my crazy friends would someday be very important.  Over two decades I’ve collected what I could learn from them.  Sometimes I only got the info holding a hand-held video while out in the bush, sometimes I had a video producer create beautiful footage, and sometimes I talked them through the technology of how to create a powerpoint presentation. 

And, I’ve managed to record a lot of really useful stuff.

This is raw, real, and powerful information.

What I’ve collected, I have gathered in the package of presentations I am calling the “Off-Grid Survival Toolkit”.

The Off-Grid Survival Digital Toolkit

The Off-Grid Survival Toolkit is a digital set of 27 unique presentations covering crucial topics related to living, and thriving, during an extended emergency. 

Each presentation is anywhere from 38 minutes to well over an hour. 

You will digitally receive both video and audio files for each presentation, plus full PDF transcripts. 

And of course, it is all fully downloadable.

Here are the categories and topics I've gathered up for you:

Medicine

Pioneer Skills

Food Production

Foraging

Food preparation

Food preservation

Here is what these people want you to know . . . 

Plus, I've Got 7 Bonus eBooks For You

I just really wanted to make sure you had these.  They aren’t videos so they didn’t quite fit into the package above. 

I am just tossing them in. 

You’ll need them.

Oh, I’ve had a LOT of people tell me the digital eBook on finding the perfect survival retreat alone is worth more that the value of the entire bundle. 

One more thing, 4^th graders love reading the Snakebite! story.  Be sure to share this one with your kids and grand-kids!

An offer so unbelievable, you can't refuse

The full value of this information is priceless.

It has taken me years to gather and record these presentations. The time, the travel, developing the relationships, and extensive testing . . .

Google is completely clueless when it comes to truly gaining these kinds of skills. 

And, good luck wading through all the crap on YouTube. 

A friend suggested that each presentation should be valued at $30 each, which would make a total value of $810.

But, that’s ridiculous right now. 

I know times are tough.

I know you are in a difficult spot.

I know you are worried.

How much do you think this information is worth to you?

These skills, stories, and wisdom from all my crazy friends will help you create a sense of calm in your life as you regain the knowledge of how to rely on yourself, especially when everything seems to be falling apart.

My Off-Grid Survival Toolkit represents over two decades of extensive (and often expensive) training I have learned along my own journey to self-sufficiency. I believe these skills will only become more important as we wade through rough times.

Remember, this is raw, immediately useful, and powerful information.
