Merced County tied with Monterey for the State’s highest Homicide rates! http://ag.ca.gov/cjsc/publications/homicide/hm10/preface.pdf Merced County and the center of the state seem to be a crossroad for violent crime and illegal activity. With north/south, and east/west corridors, crime seems to flow thru the area, bringing all its associated problems with it. If you are not prepared, this should become a priority for you and your families in the coming months of the new year. If you are not sure of what to do to become prepared or self-reliant until emergency services can assist you, then call and lets talk. There are many, many, easy, simple things you can do to aid you in emergency’s that take little to no time to prepare or minimal training to accomplish and be ready. Take action and control of your life today!
Merced County Sheriff closes parts of the Main Jail…. US Supreme Court orders 43,000 California inmates released….
Fresno County to cite and release rather than jail violators…
Wow, we sure do live in interesting times! Are you prepared? Is your family as safe as you can make them? Is your property less vulnerable than the next?
Sure, most of these inmate releases are property crimes , burglaries or “Non-Violent “ crimes like drugs , but to me and I’m sure you, they are a concern. Times are hard enough without having to deal with crime and lost work, property, security, money, peace of mind, and your time, etc… With budget cuts resulting in less Officers on the street, less Fire and Emergency Medical Services, are you prepared to deal with life’s situations that may pop up?
The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has even issued a “Zombie” warning “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” back in May…tongue in cheek of course, but the preparedness message is not to be taken lightly. http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/
Public Safety Agencies, Emergency Medical Services, and others may only be a response away, but that may be minutes to hours. AND if they do not have the skills or training; they may just stand on the beach and watch you sink like in the Bay Area a few months ago because while they could swim, they were not “certified”. And in these times of budget cuts, will they get certified? We offer YOU the opportunity to deal with whatever life throws at YOU. Our goal is to make YOU self-reliant, and responsible for YOU and YOUR loved ones.
This may entail dealing with an armed intruder in your home, a mugging on the street, a lost child, or perhaps even you yourself becoming lost. How do you; and more importantly – are you ready to – deal with these and all the other events we may experience in life? Skill Sets and Mind Sets will allow YOU to prevail, whether it is in the wilderness or the urban jungle! But YOU have to be ready! YOU must WIN!
We offer a variety of skills: such as firearms, personal defense, home defense, not becoming a victim; and outdoor skills in map and compass, GPS, man tracking, what to do when lost, finding shelter; and children’s programs in Hug-A-Tree Survival instruction and the NRA’s Eddie Eagle Gun Safety program, as well as other programs and custom offerings.
Our instruction is geared to all ages and levels of ability. These are not a “boot camp” course and there is absolutely no demeaning or talking down to you. Our goal is to enable you to be better prepared and to allow you the self-confidence to win in life. We do not judge you, we present skills and you take them away with you after a thoroughly enjoyable, rewarding experience with our professional staff.
Survival – It’s all in your Head
Our Instructors and Staff offer a wide variety of skill sets for YOU to deal with whatever the situation. Our goal is to make YOU self-reliant, and responsible for YOU and YOUR loved ones.

We offer a wide variety of NRA Certificate courses as well as our own variety of life skills instruction. Please browse our catalog and see just what you may be interested in.
