The Collapse Survivor App

The App That Will Save Your Life

The Collapse Survivor app transforms your phone into the ultimate off-grid lifeline, giving you full offline access to the entirety of Wikipedia and Wikibooks, GPS navigation to over 2,000 mapped freshwater springs, and a built-in Morse code generator—all without needing a cell signal.

Combined with real-time, actionable threat alerts, disaster tracking, and stockpile management when you are connected, it ensures you are prepared for the unexpected.  Your most critical survival tool is already in your pocket.

Prepare for the Worst

What if your family already had somewhere to go? Fortitude Ranch is a survival community equipped to survive any type of disaster and long-term loss of law and order, managed by full time staff. Fortitude Ranch is affordable for the middle class (about $1,000/person annually). We are both a recreational and, when the time comes, a retreat with a vetted circle of people where you can ride out the worst disasters. 

Enjoy the Present

Fortitude Ranch locations feature outstanding recreational opportunities for the whole family. Specific features vary by location, but members can vacation, hunt, fish and recreate at our forest and mountain locations in good times, and shelter at the Ranch to survive a collapse.

Featured Ranch Animal

Ringo - Fortitude Ranch West Virginia Guard Dog

Ringo does his job well—keeping foxes and coyotes away from our free-range chickens, deer from our peach trees and gardens, and providing warning barks when people approach. Ringo is also a true best friend, enjoyed by all our guests. He is convinced that small creatures hide in rocks, and can spend an hour wrestling a big boulder around, barking and having a great time. Pictured here in front of the “Hobbit House,” a guard shelter attached to the guard watch gazebo.
