    When the Interstate Turns Into a Survival Situation, What to Carry in Your Car

    Getting stuck in traffic during a winter storm or major highway shutdown can turn an ordinary drive into a real survival situation. Your vehicle can be one of the best shelters you have, but only if you’re prepared. This guide breaks down the essential and often-overlooked items you should keep in your car, along with smart strategies for staying warm, visible, and safe until help arrives.

    Calm Under Pressure: Why Mental Toughness Is a Trained Skill

    Scroll through social media long enough and you will eventually see posts claiming psychologists studied elite soldiers or trauma survivors for years and discovered secret traits that make certain people emotionally bulletproof.

    Those posts are compelling. They sound authoritative. They often feel true.

    They are also misleading.

Testimonials

"I didn't know what to expect from the Nav class. I was concerned I'd be in with a bunch of alpha males and feel really stupid. Not once did I feel judged for lack of knowledge, or below anybody, and didn't get the creep vibe at all, lol-very important for girls. We were just a group of people with a mutual respect for nature and love of learning. Time and money well spent. It is SO NICE to see people with integrity being successful. Please keep it up." 

AA from Tennessee

This is by far the best class I have ever taken.  The instructor is very informative and makes it fun an easy to learn the given info.  I would take this class 100 times out of 100.  Thank you! 

DA from Wisconsin

I will confidently be able to utilize this training [Mantracking] in future rescue operations with SAR.  I will also apply these skills to hunting and hiking.
