Description
TOOLS FOR LIFE WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHEST
Developed by the legendary Steven Harris (bio below), this course is a detailed examination of dozens of useful and often-overlooked tools that he didn’t see others talking about when it comes to outfitting soldiers to deploy.
Harris executed this course, which accumulates decades of testing, for a friend’s son new to the 75th Rangers about to deploy during the Russia-Ukraine war. Most of the tools involve communications and harvesting power. The nearly three-hour course follows Harris as he shows and explains these real-world essentials. As Harris says, the course “was made with items that either I own or the people I consult with own and the vast majority of all these items have been fielded in combat.”
From iridium satellite communications to razor blades and lighting tools carefully selected to NOT expose you in the cover of darkness, these recommendations are tested under the most extreme of threat models. Harris notes: “almost 100% of EVERYTHING on this list has seen real world hostile activities (combat) with military professionals.”
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN AND RECEIVE
- List of essential tools for the soldier’s personal kit on the ground and their footlocker back at base or the FOB (Forward Operating Base)
- A field-tested system for harvesting, storing, and utilizing power, allowing devices like smartphones to work 24/7 for up to a week with one hour of charging
- Methods for simplifying communication with loved ones without sacrificing security
- Key recommendations for saving space, reducing weight, and choosing gear that complements professional combat standards
Whether you or your family member is preparing for deployment, or whether you’re an extreme remote worker, first responder, rescue operator, or simply an adventurous person looking for extreme tools for extreme environments, the tools and knowledge from this course are selected to give you an edge: to give you a touchpoint of sanity and comfort in the face of uncertainty. This is not your average YouTube prepper garbage – this is the REAL DEAL.
