About John, aka The Ready Guy:
“For the last 20 years I have been my company’s primary emergency response advocate, tutor, instructor, mentor, and active responder. I live the message I spread and endeavor to help all those who are serious about preparing for emergencies large or small.”
“Over the years I have become proficient in most facets of emergency preparedness from food storage, water, basic first aid, emergency kit building, building evacuation training, choosing the right gear, firearms training (with an emphasis on making the smart acquisition decision and self-defense with a handgun), having the survival mindset (straight talk of what to expect when the SHTF) emerging threats to our NOW normal and why we need to do all we can to get safely and comfortably to the NEXT normal. I am CERT certified, HAM radio licensed, basic first aid, CPR and AED trained, an avid glamper, accomplished handyman and gadget guy, proud father, grandfather, husband, and consummate researcher on any and all subjects about readiness, emergency response, survival, outdoorsmanship, bush craft, self-sufficiency, self-reliance.”
“My personal mission is to help any and all to achieve the highest level of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, self-sustaining, and readiness, as possible.”
