Superesse, Dense Urban Survival Course ("DUSC")

Winter is coming? I don't know about you but I feel woefully unprepared for an absolute disaster. The Global Pandemic was bad, but what if it was a dress rehearsal for something more sinister and significant? As you know, I have a vivid imagination and think the real danger is approaching. I don't live in fear (quite the opposite), but it's time to do something about it. If the time comes when I need to take care of family/loved ones, am I prepared to do so? Do I have the equipment and the skills to survive when modern life's conveniences and services are unavailable?

I began to look into actual preparedness programs and wasn't impressed with the offerings. Most are very limited in scope and unlikely to prepare one for the worst-case scenarios, i.e. health emergencies (no access to doctors or hospitals), lack of electricity or access to food or clean water, the list can go on and on .... The notion is to be prepared if something happens rather than be a victim and hope for the best. With that in mind, I enlisted the help of a friend to develop an introductory course in emergency preparedness called Superesse. Think of it as Scouts for adults. Superesse aims to teach critical thinking and many of the necessary skills that eluded me as a child so that one is prepared to deal with adversity. The course will be led by former Special Ops professionals (think Navy Seals, etc.). It will include emergency planning, health/hygiene, communication/navigation, route planning/evacuation, home defense, and much more!

Fingers crossed, these skills will never be needed, but peace of mind is everything. The inaugural Alpha group will begin in the Fall, and space is already very limited. Please email me if you are interested in learning more. Winter is coming!
