I spent decades in Special Forces learning one fundamental truth: preparation without focus is just expensive panic. That’s why I wrote The Green Beret Area Study Workbook, and from now through February 24th, it’s completely free.

When my A-Team received a mission, the first thing we did was an Area Study. Before we packed a single piece of gear, we studied the terrain, the threats, the assets, and the liabilities. Every team member—engineers, medics, comms sergeants, weapons specialists—analyzed the environment through their expertise. That process is what made Special Forces elite. Not the gear. The thinking.

I wrote this workbook because most people approach preparedness backwards. They buy stuff first and plan later—if they plan at all. That wastes time and money. Your situation is unique. Your climate, your terrain, your household, your specific threats—nobody else shares that exact combination. So why would you follow a generic checklist?

This workbook walks you through the same process my team used, adapted for where you live, work, and go to school. You’ll evaluate your area of operations, identify the most likely disasters you actually face, assess your team’s strengths and weaknesses, and build a focused preparation plan based on reality, not fear.

You’ll also look at the world differently when you’re done. More aware. More confident. That awareness alone improves your quality of life, emergency or not.

Grab it free now through February 24th. No excuses. The best time to prepare was yesterday. The second best time is right now.
