How many of you are prepared for a natural disaster or an unexpected emergency?
How many of you have a plan that if your family should become separated you all know where to go, who to contact, and what to do until you are reunited?
I don’t need an answer because I know it is few of you. And even if you think you are pretty sure you could handle it if an emergency should occur, I bet you probably could use a brush up on some of the points my guest is going to speak about.
Joining me today is Chris Gilmour aka Chris Outdoors.
Chris is an outdoor educator and consultant. He teaches people about self-reliance and emergency preparedness. He also mentors individuals and staff on deep nature awareness and working with nature as the ultimate guide towards human potential, resiliency, ecological stewardship, and self-development. That is such a good description and what a purpose!
One of his amazing courses is called Survive The Storm which is a 7-day gamified e-course.
I took this course and I learned a ton. It is so well done, and Chris presents the information in such a fun, interactive way.
We are going to talk about the importance of having a plan and learning how to use your senses, intuition, and the skills and preplanning you will learn to keep yourself and your family safe in case of an emergency.
Get ready for a mind-opening discussion.

ABOUT CHRIS GILMOUR
“When I was in my early twenties, I was angry and frustrated by the state of the world. I was also humbled when I ventured into the woods to learn to live off the land and realized how little I actually knew about the intricacies of nature.
To be resilient, adaptable human beings as well as good stewards of the earth, there was so much more. I became obsessed with the study of ecology, survival, and self-reliance. This sent me on the adventure of a lifetime.
I traveled across continents learning and exploring, ventured into the deep wilderness to learn survival and ecology, and spent 8 years guiding remote wilderness canoe trips and dog sledding expeditions. I also learned to track wildlife and people and read the subtle story of nature.
I apprenticed in permaculture and how to grow my own food, studied herbal medicine, and remote back-country first aid. I started my own modern-day homestead with my wife. And I help build a not-for-profit youth organization to help reconnect kids and people back to the land, their senses, and full human potential.
With a desire to bridge all I had learned from practicing risk management, survival, and studying natural ecosystems, I wanted to now use this to face some of the significant challenges I saw facing the modern world.
This led me back to school to study Emergency & Disaster Management where I began a new journey in emergency and disaster planning and consulting. Though I have helped run disaster exercises and training for municipal governments, the private industries and one of my passions, summer camps, and outdoor-based program.”
