Hyperinflation, devastating floods, supply chain failures, extreme heat and cold, a global pandemic, wildfires, drought, dollar devaluation, power outages, food shortages, water contamination …
The 2020s have not started out well for most of us.
I’ve been prepared for decades. I knew disruptions were on the horizon. But, I never thought some of what we've experienced so far would happen so quickly . . .
Not too long ago, my elderly mother died peacefully in her sleep. Of course, I knew it was going to happen sometime (she was 93 years old and bedridden). But when it actually did happen, although it wasn’t a surprise, it certainly was a shock.
I’ve known for many years the crisis we are facing now would happen. And, like my mom dying, it wasn’t a surprise, but it still is a shock.
I bet it’s a shock for you, too.
And the worst of it is, we just don’t know how bad it’s going to get.
For the past two decades, I have been completely obsessed with figuring out how to live well when there is major chaos and change going on in the world.
To learn how to survive – thrive even – when the world is falling apart, you don’t go to Martha Stewart.
You don’t tune in to the Kardashians, and you don’t look to Beyonce.
I’ve sought out and spent time with people who live in the backwoods, way far away from civilization.
Some of these people don’t smell good, they often have lots of unkempt body hair, and the clothes they wear are more functional than fashionable. What looks like junk to us, is a treasure to them. They are not normally the kind of people you want to hang out with. Everything from nomads, hunter-gathers, rednecks, hermits, dumpster divers, hardcore survivalists, and barefoot crazies.
In fact, most ‘normal’ people go to great lengths to avoid these outcasts. But, I’m so grateful that I’ve befriended these crazy people. And, I’m so grateful that they have followed the beat of a different drum and kept alive some super important skills.
And you know what? Most of them are unaffected by what is going.
For the most part, they are healthy and well-fed.
Some of them live so far out, they don’t even know what is going on right now.
For the past decade, my daughter and I have also attended primitive skills gatherings. These are places where you can learn the skills ancient hunter-gathers all knew. How to tan skins with just the brains of the animal, how to navigate by the stars, how to purify water, how to hunt, and how to make medicine from plants.
I remember back before 2008 when being called a “Prepper” was a big insult.
But, I didn’t care.
I developed more skills and began teaching others . . .
In 2003 I earned my Permaculture Design Certificate.
In 2009 I created DVD on how to grow food that went viral.
In 2013 I was featured by National Geographic as an expert in survival and preparedness in the second season of their hit series “Doomsday Preppers”.
In 2017 I was featured in an award-winning Reuters contest on food sustainability.
In 2019 I was added to Who’s Who In America® for all the backyard gardens I’ve helped create. (Yes, it really surprised me too . . . I mean, isn’t that list only for big politicians and famous actors?)
And, while I don’t know if you are ever really prepared . . . I do have some skills.
No, that is not what I am about.
Yes, I do understand that as things deteriorate, there will be more violence.
And, yes, I do have guns, ammo, and the skills to use them. Yes, absolutely.
I am also training in Shotokan Karate and Jujitsu. I am a huge believer in practicing situational awareness.
Yes, the world is likely to get much more dangerous.
But, one of the truths about long term survival in hard times is that you are far more likely to die from starvation than from a bullet.
And, while I recognize the dangers, I am primarily about working together and building community.
I grew up in the South. In high school, I loved to play sports and I was also in the chorus. Our teachers and coaches would often stop the bus on field trips to visit historical sites. Many of those sites were battlefields from the Civil war.
The focus was always on the men: who fought, who died, who won.
I always wondered: what did the women and children do during those times?
Who kept those men fed, made medicines, treated their wounds, managed the farms and ranches while the strongest were off fighting?
How did families survive when the cupboards were bare and the tools melted down for weapons?
The focus of a crisis is often on the flashy news, the ‘war’, and the violence. The media is famous for saying “if it bleeds, it leads”.
But, how do you handle the day-to-day of real life? How do you feed your family when the shelves are empty? How do you clean a wound when there is no doctor? How do you make shoes so you aren’t hobbled? How do you live when the fridge is out? Where can you find wild foods? How do you preserve food when you find a bounty?
In our modern age, who knows these skills and how can you acquire them?
I knew that someday the skills, stories, and wisdom from all my crazy friends would someday be very important. Over two decades I’ve collected what I could learn from them. Sometimes I only got the info holding a hand-held video while out in the bush, sometimes I had a video producer create beautiful footage, and sometimes I talked them through the technology of how to create a PowerPoint presentation.
And, I’ve managed to record a lot of really useful stuff.
This is raw, real, and powerful information.
What I’ve collected, I have gathered in the package of digital presentations I am calling the “Off-Grid Survival Toolkit”.
The Off-Grid Survival Toolkit is a set of 27 unique digital presentations covering crucial topics related to living, and thriving, during an extended emergency.
Each presentation is anywhere from 38 minutes to over an hour.
You will receive access to both video and audio files for each presentation, plus full PDF transcripts downloadable through your TGN dashboard.
You read that right, it is all fully downloadable.

The full value of this information is priceless.
It has taken me years to gather and record these presentations. The time, the travel, developing the relationships, and extensive testing . . .
Google is completely clueless when it comes to truly gain these kinds of skills.
And, good luck wading through all the crap on YouTube.
A friend suggested that each presentation should be valued at $30 each, which would make a total value of $810.
But, that’s ridiculous right now.
I know times are tough.
I know you are in a difficult spot.
I know you are worried.
I’m going to do something completely crazy and set your price at only 5% of the Toolkit's total value!
Yes, you read that correctly.
You can get access today to everything in my digital Off-Grid Survival Toolkit for as low as $41!
And, I know this information will help if you're feeling desperate, so I'm willing to take a loss.

Remember, this is raw, immediately useful, and powerful information.

Unless you are a homesteader or have access to land and ability to do some of the things in these videos, it is of limited utility
We appreciate your feedback, Jill. Thank you for sharing.
There's so much information included, that I'm still blown away..
If I had an issue with this collection, it's only that I can't decide on which order to play the videos.
I'm like a child on Christmas day
Thank You Very Much X
We are pleased to hear this has been a positive experience, Martin. We appreciate your sharing!!
With all this valuable knowledge, I could live in a scout hut on top of a mountain as long as I have access to all that knowledge.
Thanks again for putting together and offering this amazing package : -)
This is awesome, Jesper. We are so pleased you've enjoyed the materials. Thank you so much for sharing. We appreciate you.
