About
A shop for real kits, gear, and refurbished privacy-hardened tech, hands-on public events, real-world challenges to work through, a members club, and on-site training for companies — all built around what actually happens in an emergency, not a checklist copied from somewhere else.
What we do
- Shop — backpack kits and the prepping manual, plus refurbished security phones, laptops, homeservers, and remote-access PCs, reflashed with a real privacy/security OS, not a wiped stock image
- Challenges — real natural and digital scenarios, contributed by club and community members, with what matters most in each
- Events — workshops, meetups, hackathons, and the residential Academy and Summer School programs
- Resources — honest guides to the operating systems and self-hosted software behind everything we sell and run
- Club — membership for people who want ongoing access, priority booking, a members-only Field Exercise, and optional Pro access to club hardware and AI tools
- Training — on-site or remote emergency-preparedness training for companies
Why challenges, not just checklists
Every emergency is different, but the first ten minutes matter more than any amount of gear. That's the thinking behind everything here — see the challenges we build our events and content around.
Who's behind it
Run by our own instructor team — the same people behind the Academy, Summer School, and every workshop, not outside contractors. See Members for community members, brand ambassadors, and experts, as the club grows.
