Why Did Past Students Join?

"I had an uneasy feeling about things that could go wrong but didn't know what to do."

~ Cathy (2024)

"Frankly? To deal with my anxiety about the future. To feel like I had greater control…"

~ Bryen (2024)

You’re not wrong to feel uneasy. The world really is changing fast.

The truth is, most people aren’t ready for what’s already here.

Every day brings new headlines:

  • Extreme weather disasters

  • Strained medical systems and rising health threats

  • Climbing food prices and fragile supply chains

  • Financial instability, cyber risks, global tensions and growing local crime and unrest

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

What feels better is having a practical path forward that works with your unique life and needs.

What specific results did you notice?

I'm thrilled with the things I've put in place and how easy some of them were. There's still a "to do" list but it feels do-able now that I have a roadmap"

~ Cathy (2024)

"I’ve been collecting items, books... I've got a home, grab-&-go and small car kit (it all needs improving) I’ve connected with neighbours and family... I also understand this is a life-long path of learning."

~ Bryen (2024)

🔷 The Core Framework:

The Survival Resilience Matrix

At the heart of this course is a practical, adaptable framework for building resilience in every area of life.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a flexible path built around four essential pillars of resilience.

Most training focuses on just one area, like wilderness survival, homesteading, or emergency planning.

But, real resilience means being ready for whatever comes, with the adaptability to handle the known, the unknown, and everything in between.

Each pillar integrates:

  • Practical knowledge

  • Hands-on skills

  • Gear recommendations

  • Realistic action steps

What did you like most about the course?

"I most liked the mindset that replaces uneasiness/overwhelm by confidence and empowerment. Also, how practical and clear the actions are."

~ Cathy (2024)

"I liked the depth of info, the way it was delivered, the gentle guidance, the story telling, the opportunity to connect with other folks grappling with how to be better prepared."

~ Bryen (2024)

Our Goal for You...

We want you to leave this course not just knowing more, but having taken real steps to feel more grounded, confident, and ready for the future.

  • To go from:

    • Feeling overwhelmed by all the threats, choices, and what-ifs...


      → to having a clear, step-by-step roadmap tailored to your life.

    • Consuming news with anxiety and uncertainty...


      → to responding with clarity, calm, and tangible actions that give you peace of mind.

    • Worrying about your family’s safety and resilience...


      → to becoming someone they can look to in times of crisis.

This isn’t about fear or panic.


It’s about being realistic, proactive, empowered, and adaptable.

Check out what Chantale had to say...

They Say...

This is a powerful true account from a recent (2025) email Chris got from a past participant of his Survive the Storms course.

"I just wanted to send you a quick note to say: I'm STILL grateful for everything that class taught me!  Actually.... more and more so I'd say (sadly maybe!).

I had a moment of freak-out yesterday with waves of anxiety and an internet rabbit hole as the news of some nearby out-of-control fires was shared in my area. 

I switched gears and started taking a few action steps which we had learned about in the course. 

I looked through my grab-and-go bag, i added a few things, i made an evac plan specific to fires, and i ordered a few extra preparedness items which i had wanted for a while...

And now i feel much better even though the situation hasn't changed.  

Anyway, just wanted to send you some feedback to say thank you and your work has helped a lot of people I'm sure"

Values Statement

We believe in positive, non-fear-based preparedness.

And, just as resilient ecosystems thrive through diversity, we value diversity in people and culture.

In this socially and politically divided world, we build community by being a welcoming space for people of all ethnic backgrounds, spiritual beliefs and genders.

We are an inclusive, politically neutral space, focused on skills, connection, and resilience.

We avoid politics and conspiracy rabbit holes about "why ?" things are happening and instead focus on WHAT we can do and control.

While we recognize firearms are part of some preparedness plans and resilient lifestyles, we do not cover them in-depth for legal reasons.

At the heart of our work is a reverence for nature, a commitment to land stewardship and recognition of the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples on their native lands.

If these values do not align with you, this course may not be the right fit.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss before joining.
