Jaxon BriarJaxon Briar is a survivalist, homesteader, and storyteller who's spent over two decades turning raw wilderness into a livable refuge. Raised in a family where "be ready" wasn't a slogan but a way of life, Jaxon learned early how to read the land, wor with limited resources, and adapt to an unpredictable world. From weeks-long solo treks in remote backcountry to designing off-grid systems that keep a household running through storms, power outages, and supply chain breakdowns, Jaxon has walked the talk.When not testing gear in rugged conditions or teaching workshops on food preservation, Briar studies the history of self-reliance-digging into forgotten methods from the pioneers, Depression-era families, and post-war survival planners. This deep respect for both tradition and innovation comes through in every page Jaxon writes, blending proven skills with modern strategies to help readers prepare for whatever lies ahead.Briar lives in a hand-built cabin on the edge of the wild, where the nearest grocery store is a half-day's journey and every sunset is earned.
