Area Study Map Training - Free Webinar course

Most people focus on gear, food, and supplies when preparing for the future.

But the most important question is rarely asked:

Do you truly understand the area around you?

Knowing your terrain, resources, infrastructure, risks, and population patterns can make the difference between confidence and chaos when something goes wrong.

For years, I’ve taught that one of the most powerful tools for preparedness is an Area Study Map—a structured way to understand the area around where you live, where you work, and around your survival retreat.

Now, for the first time, that concept has been turned into software.

After 18 years of thinking, testing, and building, the Area Study Map App is finally ready.

In this free webinar, I’ll explain:

What an Area Study Map is

Why every prepper, homesteader, and survival-minded family should build one

How studying your area helps you think strategically about resources, threats, and movement

How emergency response groups, CERT teams, HAM radio clubs, and preparedness organizations can use the Area Study Map to better understand and coordinate within their area

And you’ll see a live demo of the new Area Study Map App

This software helps organize real-world information—terrain, infrastructure, resources, weather, and more—into an interactive map so you can visualize and analyze your environment like never before.

If preparedness is about thinking ahead, then understanding your area is one of the most important steps you can take.
