In today’s world, too many people rely on fragile systems to keep their lives running—whether it’s the power grid, supply chains, or even basic home maintenance services. But real independence comes from knowing how to take care of yourself, your home, and your family. That’s why I started The Civilian Network—a place for people who want to build practical skills, solve problems, and take ownership of their own capabilities.
Here, you’ll find hands-on knowledge about everything from homesteading and household repairs to firearms, electronics, communications, and solar power. Whether you want to fix what’s broken, build something from scratch, or just be better prepared for whatever life throws your way, this blog is about making sure you have the skills to handle it.
This isn’t just about prepping for worst-case scenarios—it’s about living a better life every day. It’s about having the confidence to know you can solve problems instead of waiting on someone else. Over time, The Civilian Network will grow into a library of useful, no-nonsense information that you can put to work immediately.
If that sounds like something you’re into, stick around. There’s a lot to learn, and this is just the beginning.
