NEW SLOGAN
BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
MISSION STATEMENT
To help people connect with nature and be ready for anything using a variety of survival and preparedness-inspired products, services, classes, and events.
VISION STATEMENT
If you deny yourself the connection to the wild places that your soul craves, the fire inside of you will slowly turn to ash.
Nature is where the magic happens. It is a powerful tool to help learn about and connect us with the things in life that matter most - ourselves, each other, and our Creator. Our best and most inspired lives are lived outdoors.
It is my vision to offer survival and preparedness-inspired products, services, classes, and events to help people keep the fire ablaze by engaging their wild side. I believe that by doing so, people will be better equipped to BE READY FOR ANYTHING - physically, mentally, and spiritually.
