True North Tradecraft
We help people of all types avoid or escape very scary and dangerous situations, at home and abroad.
As a Canadian, I have found it extremely difficult to access quality training and gear within my own borders. Not to say that skilled professionals don’t exist here – far from it – but rather the availability of opportunities for training and access to equipment is very limited compared to our neighbours to the South.
In that context, I travelled outside of Canada not only train with various experts and specialists over the years (military, law enforcement and other esoteric masters) but to develop and build on my own skills. This has allowed my immersion into a full-spectrum of approaches which otherwise would not be available to me and bring them back here, to re-conceptualize them from a Canadian perspective.
As Canada does not have options for the carriage of firearms or other weapons by average civilians, personal security and self-defence require a different approach to be effective within a more non-permissive environment.
Through that process, True North Tradecraft came into being. With a drive to help others and continue to serve my country, I hope to give all Canadians access to tradecraft and personal security awareness, tactics and knowledge to thrive within our legal system and maintain that security wherever they go worldwide through less-than-permissive lands.
