About The Survivalist Guides
The Shadow Advisor: Covert Expertise for Real-World Preparedness
My expertise stems from a distinguished career as a former covert operative for an agency that I am not legally allowed to disclose. This unique background provides me with an unparalleled perspective on security, strategy, and survival.
While The Survivalist Guides operates independently and isn’t affiliated with any government, intelligence, or military organization, the insights shared within are undeniably shaped by years of high-stakes experience. Details of specific operations or agencies are, for obvious reasons, intentionally altered or obscured, and narratives of military or covert actions are redacted for sensitive information while maintaining the core lessons.
As I’m sure you can appreciate, I prefer to keep my identity anonymous, but you can refer to me as The Shadow Advisor.
What you gain from this website is a strategic and focused approach to life, drawing directly from the ideals and lessons learned as a tactician, survivalist, and intelligence analyst. This is your opportunity to learn from someone who has navigated the shadows and emerged with unparalleled insight into preparedness and personal security.


A Lifetime of Wilderness Survival Lessons
I was born and raised in Wyoming in the shadow of The Rockies in a rather isolated town where the forests were my playground. My father and I spent most of our free time hunting, fishing, and camping, he taught me all I know about survival skills and how to live off the land. Being in a remote area, it wasn’t uncommon for a snowstorm or the like to cut us off from food and resources. This taught my family and me a great life lesson that you need to be prepared for all life can throw at you if you want to survive. I was brought up with my mother telling me “Be kind, help your neighbors and you’ll have a blessed life”, words that I now live by.
Uncertain Times: Why Preparedness Isn't Optional Anymore
What does the future hold? Are natural disasters occurring more and more often? Some form of economic and social collapse? If the past few years have taught me anything, none of us can be sure about what’s waiting for us around the corner and we shouldn’t be taking our safety for granted. It’s important now more than ever to ensure you are prepared for times of uncertainty. As an experienced American Prepper, I started The Survivalist Guides to share my knowledge, experiences and skills with others so you may learn what it takes to prepare and survive through harder times. Whether you are a prepping beginner or survival expert, we offer a wide range of advice, tips and gear reviews to help you prepare for the unknown.
