5 Day Grey Man Academy Training Event - Executive Protection Intensive
Hi guys, my apologies for being AWOL (Absent With Out Leave) I've been knees deep in running a 5-day intensive course here locally to the Spokane/Northport Washington region. Here's quick recap of this executive protection training program. Day 1-2 Pilot Survival "Crash Course" - SERE-Based Training We began at a wrecked aircraft fuselage that simulated a crash landing, which I'm told the PC term is "off airport landing." This survival training scenario, drawn from my USAF SERE specialist background, focused as soon as they hit the ground on prioritizing injuries using MARCH (Massive hemorrhage – Airway – Respiratory – Circulation – Head trauma and Hypothermia). We discussed strategies of coping with stress and shock, which involved tactical breathing techniques of maintaining 98.6 and box breathing etc. - essential skills for high-net-worth executives operating in hostile environments. Then we pulled out the maps and went over understanding Lat/Long and how to determine our general location just based on an equation called "Rate of speed x Time of flight = Distance traveled". Then we plotted a good site on the map where we could conduct effective emergency signaling and other tasks to fulfill our 5 Basic Survival needs Next they navigated using a wrist compass and keeping track of their paces to the top of the hill where we found ample natural supplies for a smoke generator and proceeded to work our firecraft skills. The day encompassed survival skills like natural and man made shelter creation, small game processing, survival cooking methods and night signals with flares and lasers. The following day we built another fire, heated our coffee and sharpened our tools for easier bushcraft applications afterwards. We went over water filtration methods, day time signals and proved the importance of always having 3 methods of achieving anything critical. Better yet is 4, using the PACE method (Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency) - a cornerstone of American Reconstruction Concepts (ARC Training) methodology.

The Get Home Bag: A SERE Instructor's Framework for Urban Survival
By Michael Caughran, Former USAF SERE Specialist After years of teaching survival, evasion, resistance, and escape to military personnel, and now training executives and high-net-worth individuals through Grey Man Academy, I've learned that survival preparation isn't about having the most gear—it's about having the right gear organized around proven principles along with the skills and will to use it when it matters most. The get home bag represents one of the most practical applications of survival planning for everyday life, yet it's often misunderstood or over-complicated. Defining the Mission: What Is a Get Home Bag? The purpose is right there in the name—this is your lifeline to get back to friendly control when chaos erupts. Unlike a bug-out bag designed for extended displacement or an INCH (I'm Never Coming Home) bag for permanent relocation, the get home bag serves a specific 24-72 hour mission: navigate through urban chaos, natural disasters, or civil unrest to reach your home, family, or designated safe location. Throughout my military career and now in private sector training, I've witnessed how quickly normal situations can deteriorate. A routine business trip becomes a survival scenario when targeted by a criminal element. Your daily commute transforms into a multi-day trek when transportation systems collapse under the weight of natural disasters. The get home bag bridges that critical gap between everyday carry items and full survival loadouts. The key principle I emphasize to my students is mobility. In the military, we had a saying: "Mobility is life." Every piece of gear must earn its place through utility-to-weight ratio. If you're weighed down like a pack mule, you've already failed the mission. Speed and adaptability trump having every possible contingency covered. The Five Basic Survival Needs Framework One of the many great frameworks that I've continued to refine are the Basic Survival Needs, five essential categories: Communications, Health, Personal Protection, Sustenance, and Travel. This framework ensures comprehensive preparation without redundancy or critical gaps.
