Introduction

Who our course is intended for.

Many members of our family live in the northeast of America. In 2003, an electrical sub-station in Canada malfunctioned and caused a huge blackout across northeast America. People went without electrical power in some areas for three days or more. To say that many were not prepared, is a gross understatement. Stores were emptied within hours and many went hungry, thirsty and lost hundreds of dollars in food (spoiled in freezers and refrigerators).

Many Americans are just too busy with life, careers, children, etc. to have the luxury to even think about, let alone make a plan, gather supplies, know what to do based upon the type of disaster, or even operate under the mental stress, circumstances and chaos of a disaster.

What if someone has already done the bulk of the background work, gathered the information in one place, set up a classroom in Colorado; and, then made it fun and adventurous to help you become knowledgeable and prepared to be ready if disaster strikes?

What our course is not about.

Even though our summer classes are in the Colorado mountains, we are not a survival school. Our class is not about living off of the land and being a mountain hermit or survivalist.

What our course is about.

• We are an educational opportunity to help average citizens learn the process of what it takes to become prepared; to maintain life when circumstances of a disaster take away the normalcy of modern life and its technology.
• We assist our students in the preparation of a vital detailed plan for themselves, their family and others they may bear a responsibility for.
• We help you determine what equipment, supplies and special needs are suited for your individual circumstances, by actually having you learn by experience.
• We help you design a plan specific to your needs, your life-style. A plan that is tailored to the disaster’s relevant to your geographical location.
• We teach you in a group environment, so that you will be exposed to the nuances of other class attendee’s unique circumstances. This process gives you additional information, so that your ‘plan’ becomes adaptable.
