About Us: The Backbone of Fail Safe Survival

Welcome to Fail Safe Survival, where the wilderness meets wisdom, and a good sense of humor meets practical advice.

My name is Hank White and this page was founded in the rugged heart of Utah’s mountains, we’re here to guide you through the art of survival, prepping, and thriving in the wild — because nature doesn’t give second chances, and neither do we (unless you’re trying to start a fire in the rain; we’ll give you a pass on that one).

 

The Man Behind the Mission

I’m your guide, mentor, and the ruggedly handsome face behind Fail Safe Survival — a man shaped by the wild, seasoned by the elements, and a believer in the power of preparedness.

Born with a compass in one hand and a multi-tool in the other, I’ve turned my passion for the outdoors into a mission: to equip the everyday man with the skills, knowledge, and humor needed to conquer the unexpected.

As a native Utahn, I’ve had my fair share of encounters with Mother Nature’s mood swings. I’ve faced down bears, outsmarted rattlesnakes (or so I like to think), and survived more than one close call with hypothermia.

About me at Fail Safe Survival

My backyard is the unforgiving wilderness, and my hobbies include turning “oh no” moments into “aha!” triumphs.

But let’s be clear, I’m not just a wilderness warrior; I’m a disaster-prepping enthusiast. Why? Because I believe in the age-old adage: “Hope for the best, prepare for the apocalypse.”

Whether it’s a financial downturn or a full-blown zombie outbreak, Fail Safe Survival is about staying one step ahead. Plus, there’s nothing more satisfying than having just the right tool when things go south — except maybe a well-aged steak.

 

Our Philosophy: Survival with a Smile

Here at Fail Safe Survival, we believe that survival isn’t just about braving the elements; it’s about thriving in them. It’s about mastering the skills that turn emergencies into adventures and dangers into anecdotes.

But why so serious? Because let’s face it, if you can’t laugh at yourself while you’re eating bugs for protein, you’re in for a rough ride.

We stand firm on conservative values: self-reliance, personal responsibility, and the freedom to explore the great outdoors without apology.

We preach the gospel of preparedness, teach the tenets of tough love, and sprinkle in some old-fashioned, dad-joke humor. Why? Because life’s too short to be boring, and too risky to be unprepared.
