EXITING THE GRID
- PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY in an AGE OF SURVEILLANCE
 
There are over 30 million surveillance cameras in the United States. The average citizen appears on these cameras many times each day. Every credit card and debit card transaction is tracked and buying behavior categorized and sold. Social networking pages track your online behavior. 
 
Your cell phone can pinpoint your location, and it is rumored that the NSA tracks every conversation, listening for key words. The discount card you use at the grocery store tracks your buying preferences. Bottom line is that our lives are constantly being monitored. A grid of surveillance.
 
Exiting the Grid is for anyone desiring to reclaim their privacy. We will look at the myriad ways your privacy is compromised by seemingly innocent methods and sometimes by devious design. 
 
We will learn specific methods that you can use to avoid giving away information and how to counter electronic surveillance. You will learn how to hide your electronic trail. You will learn how to remove yourself from the Grid.

Kevin hosted the History Channel's, OFF THE GRID: Million Dollar Manhunt. which deals with many of the issues addressed in this class.

While on an international business trip, you are kidnapped and held for ransom. Or, a terrorist attack closes the business district of your city and you find yourself in a dangerous, chaotic fix. How do you stay alive? How do you get to safety on your own?

1. covert movement (day vs. night), 
2. the judicious use of caches, 
3. understanding urban baseline 
4. movement and urban awareness training, 
5. the use of disguises, 
6. lock picking, 
7. escaping from unlawful custody, 
8. obtaining and driving local transportation, 
9. the use of "specialized" urban gear, and

ADVANCED URBAN ESCAPE & EVASION 
 
This course will add new skills to the Urban Escape & Evasion graduate but will primarily focus on field applications. 
 
You will learn how to make useful E & E tools, then spend time scavenging the urban area, finding the materials needed, and actually manufacturing them.  We have revised this class to include a strong emphasis on the manufacture of improvised tools and equipment from scavenged materials.  
 
In addition, students will be required to obtain food, water, and shelter and remain overnight in the city. They will need to avoid capture, and they will be required to complete several tests or scenarios that will require advanced students to truly apply their Scout and urban survival skills. 
 
 
 
 

BUGGING OUT - EVACUATION

This course is designed for anyone who has come to the realization that there may come a time to evacuate home and travel to a safer place. You will learn the art of bugging out, leaving your home with your dependents and loved ones. Whether it be a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, the breakdown of social order, a chemical spill, or just severe weather, you will be prepared to leave quickly and travel safely to your destination.
 
You will learn when to evacuate, how to properly plan a bug out, what supplies you will need and how to have them where they are needed. You will be taught the order of priorities for survival and travel during a social breakdown that will accompany almost any disaster. There will be detailed discussions on gear, what is truly necessary and what is fantasy:. 
 
1. Shelter, 
2.  water, 
3.  fire, 
4.  food, 
5.  packs, 
6.  protection and security, 
7.  emergency signaling and communication, 
8.  medical, trading and bartering, 
9.  land navigation and more will be discussed.  
 
You will learn how to stay low profile, not attracting unwanted attention while moving and camping. The final exercise will be great fun, as you go outdoors and test your skills and equipment in a series of skill stations practicing your priority skill sets while on the move. This will give you a realistic view of your skill level, how your equipment really performs, and what you need to work on.
