The Undisputed ‘Real Survivors.’  THIS IS A SMALL LIST OF THE REAL SURVIVORS, SURVIVAL EXPERTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY!

Let me tell you something – we are all “fragile creatures of comfort.”  When you are faced with a serious survival threat, odds are you’ll call 911, cry for help, curl-up & give-up, run,…  Why?  Cause you don’t have the “survival ammunition” to stand your ground and fight for your own survival. Well, I am giving you that “survival ammunition” so you can survive, so You’re Ready Anytime Anywhere!

And it is based on what I call The Real Survival Experts.  I hope you decide to become more self-reliant than you ever thought possible.  Depend on yourself, depend on YOU, you become your own “survival expert” in your nook, your domaine, your life.  Now let me tell you where I started.

Back in 1991, I realized I didn’t know as much international wilderness survival as I thought I did and many of the things I was taught wasn’t going to work.  So back then I started putting together my own Survival Program and I started from scratch.  I “intensely researched” how the REAL SURVIVAL EXPERTS survived their particular international wilderness environments, how they avoided their own “doomsdays” and more than 30-years later I’m still conducting “intensive research” and conducting R & D so You’re Ready Anytime Anywhere.

In the late 1990s, I added the other Survivals and still today I “intensely researched” Health Survival, Crime Survival and Money Survival and added additional HUGE AMOUNTS of Survival so you’re ready Anytime Anywhere.  Here’s a partial list of the REAL SURVIVAL EXPERTS:
