Imagine yourself suddenly thrust into an unexpected situation. You could be on a hike with your family and soon realize that you made a wrong turn several miles back and are now faced with a situation you weren't prepared for as darkness quickly approaches and the cold sets in. Perhaps your car breaks down as your family is sightseeing along a remote stretch of road rarely traveled by people and y
our cell phone has no signal. Maybe a hurricane shifts its path and decimates your city, blocking all the roads, and cutting off all the power. Tragically, good people perish in these types of situations every year. If they had been prepared, they could have not only survived, but thrived. If you feel unprepared for life's inevitable unpredictability, we want to help you. We offer three courses options, all of which can be customized to fit the needs of a particular group or company. For employers, you will find our courses to be not only useful information for your employees, but a nice respite from their daily grind and an excellent team building exercise.
