Urban Survival Course
- Preparedness for Everyday People in an Unpredictable World

Life in the city comes with its own set of challenges, even more so when emergencies arise. From power outages to civil unrest, gridlock to supply chain disruptions, many families are realizing how unprepared we’ve become for the unexpected. The world feels a little tense right now. We see it on the news. Global conflict. Rising costs. Protests. Tensions at home and abroad. It’s hard to know what’s coming next but one thing is certain: relying on someone else to come to the rescue isn’t a plan.

Our Urban Survival Course is designed for everyday people who want to feel more confident, capable, and self-reliant in the environments they already live in. This is not a tactical bootcamp or a political survivalist group. We are not training extremists. We are not teaching people how to riot. We’re offering practical, common-sense skills for real-world situations that can happen anywhere, whether it’s a natural disaster, power outage, civil unrest, or simply being caught off guard in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This course teaches you how to assess your environment, create realistic plans, and take action when needed to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Whether you live in a major city or a smaller town, these are skills every modern household should know.
