It's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere

Are you ready to free yourself?

Times are changing, disasters are coming.

Are you prepared to survive, or prepared to THRIVE!

Disaster preparation does not have to be about living in an underground shelter, or a log cabin deep in the woods. It does not have to be caveman days. It is possible to live comfortably once you leave the beaten path and find your own way.

I find a lot of people have a set expectation of what to do after a disaster, and it usually means running for the hills/woods.

Then what? Live off the land? Sure, it can be done... but it sucks. Not only do I thinks it sucks, so do you! Want proof that YOU think it sucks? Easy... are you doing it right now? If not, it is because you do not want that hard life.

So why not aim for an easy life? One you can have now and continue afterwards.

Catamaran drifting — Author's catamaran drifting on the Yellow Bank, Bahamas.
30km to the nearest land, and all of it 5 meters deep.

My own solution to that problem was to sell our farm and buy a catamaran sailboat. Learning to sail is simple. There are schools that can teach you everything you need to know. I learned mostly by doing, but that is how I learn.

Sure, sailing may not be for everyone. But if you stop and think it out now, you can find a life that you WANT to live, and go do it today. You do not need to have a disaster to go change your life.

This website will help you find your way, and (hopefully) make it enjoyable.
