Graywolf Survival | Start Here

To help you find what you’re looking for here, I thought I’d give you a quick-start guide to Graywolf Survival. Kind of a guided tour. You can find this page any time through the image in the front center of the main page or the ‘Start Here’ link at the very top.

What this site is about

This site brings you common-sense information on how to prepare yourself and your family to be able to deal with whatever life can throw you. Not just survive, but to thrive in any situation – from everyday life to SHTF. I do this by:

Showing you how to protect your family from such natural disasters as earthquakes, floods, fire, or even an EMP – basically, how to be a prepared for anything.
Explaining primitive survival skills such as how to start a fire, how to filter and purify water, and how to build a shelter.
Breaking down in simple terms how to build DIY projects such as solar hot water heaters, solar ovens, homemade hand pumps, and so on. Unlike most sites, I try to explain to you the theory of how and why each thing works so you can build it with whatever you have available.
Identifying different prepper, homesteading, off-grid, tactical, or survival gear that you may be interested in and explaining the pros and cons of each.
Testing and reviewing prepper and survival gear and giving you my honest opinion of what each item does, how well it does it, and how it can (or can’t) fit into your plans.

How to navigate this site

If you’re ever stuck, find the ‘Start Here’ link at the very top right of the page.

Just to the left of that is the Site Map, which lists every page, category, author, and post – all on one page.

You can find the various categories of my posts at the top of my page, just under the big orange Graywolf Survival banner.

Down the right side of the page is a list of my most recent posts.

Best Prepper Resources and Recommendations

This is a new project that will be ongoing. Each month (or so), I’ll have a new post with the best prepper gear, books, blogs, forums, facebook pages, and more that I’ve found. The items on those posts will then be collected on the Best Prepper Resources and Recommendations Page, along with the most recent blog posts of each of the sites listed in the best blogs and forums for you to click and read. If you’re going to bookmark any page other than my main page, that would be the one.

About me

I am a combat veteran of the United States Army and former Intelligence Officer. I’ve operated in several countries throughout Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. I’ve trained and worked with intelligence and Special Forces units in operations such as surveillance/counter-surveillance, HUMINT, and Counter-Terrorism. I’ve lived through real survival situations and try to bring that real-world knowledge to you here.

This site was started by me when I was on my last tour in Afghanistan to get my mind off things while laying in my hooch at night, and it’s grown by leaps and bounds ever since to become one of the most popular prepper/survival sites on the internet.

I also write occasionally for Joel Lambert’s website, so come find me there if you’d like to read more tactical and survival information.
