Bug-Out Baddies

A practical workshop for women on how to build a strategic personal emergency preparedness plan. Set your strategy. Claim your power.

Power outages, severe weather, flooding, water shortages, a sudden evacuation. Most of us know we should have a plan. Fewer of us actually do. Set your strategy. Claim your power. Bug-Out Baddies is a practical workshop for women on how to build a strategic personal emergency preparedness plan. This isn’t a wilderness survival class or a gear haul. It’s about building the mindset, strategy, and plan that make every other survival skill or tool useful.

Who it’s for: Women at any starting point, from “I’ve never thought about this” to “I have a kit but no real plan” Women who are: single, partnered, living alone, with roommates, with or without kids Women who ordinarily depend on their man in an emergency and are ready to feel empowered on their own No experience or equipment needed

You’ll leave with: A clearer sense of how to address your potential risks A starting framework for your own plan A list of next steps you can take right away based on your personal priorities Discount codes and links to recommended emergency preparedness items A preview of gear and tools you may wish to consider as part of your plan
