Willow Haven Outdoor

Creek Stewart is a local professional survivalist and owner of the survival training ranch near Indianapolis called Willow Haven Outdoor. On Saturday, June 16, Creek is hosting an open house for media and the public at the ranch which will include wilderness and urban survival demos, a Bug-Out Bag presentation, extreme hiking tips and more.

This event is part of a national tour for Creek's new book Build the Perfect Bug-Out Bag: Your 72-Hour Disaster Survival Kit (May 2012, Betterway Books), which has been featured on WGN-TV, Discovery.com, The Art of Manliness, and LifeHacker.

Should a Hurricane Katrina or another 9/11 arrive at your doorstep, what would you grab as you fled the scene?

Most individuals don't think about these scenarios, because they just seem so unrealistic and unappealing. However, plenty privately wonder: What would I do in the face of disaster?

Whether it's an extreme vacation gone wrong, a terrorist attack, or even just a nasty tornado, survival specialist Creek Stewart says that disaster preparation is one of the most immediate items to check off our list right now. Since the line between order and chaos is very thin, a 72-hour survival kit can ensure you come out on the right side.
