Why Build The Ultimate Emergency Preparedness Crash Course?

In April 2026, I launched a new class - the Ultimate Emergency Preparedness Crash Course.

It’s an intense class covering six different subject groups, but why teach it this way?

I pleased to announce that I have four literary projects coming out this year. One is a book on bushcraft that I wrote last year. One is a book that I wrote in 2019 that got derailed due to the pandemic. A third project was an editorial job, updating a book for an author who passed away. And my fourth book - that’s the one that inspired the class.

In October 2026, How To Stay Alive should hit store shelves. This is a compilation book with content pulled from my New York Times bestsellers and several other titles.

And of we could create a “best of” book, why not build a “best of” class?

But there’s another reason for launching this class at this time.

The world is becoming scarier by the day. I think people are scared to think about self-reliance. It’s more comfortable to just stick your head in the sand. I think people are also broke due the record breaking cost of living and they are unwilling to allocate funds to buy emergency supplies and get training. The average person will keep buying that $6 coffee each day, but refuse to put $6 a day toward their own survival. People aren’t thinking like they used to - they are simply acting on addictions, emotions and thoughtless impulses. The average person doesn’t understand that saving the $6 coffee money for 30 days would pay for their survival class and the gas to drive there. I have my vices, too. This is just an example. I’d also to be proactive instead of being reactive (or caught with my pants down), and if you’re reading this, I’ll bet you’re thinking that same way.

Turn your interest in emergency preparedness into real beneficial action. Take the time to take a class.
