$25K STRETCH Goal CRUSHED! You're Gonna LOVE This...
about 5 years ago – Sat, Feb 16, 2019 at 12:19:17 AM

Oh Yeah! You SMASHED Our $25,000 Stretch Goal... 

So guess what? Yep, you get a Fresnel magnifying lens with every Tiny Survival Guide you pre-order. NICE! 

Next STRETCH GOAL - $40,000?

Now I am pondering some additional stretch goals (mostly bonus videos and pdf reports) - or - possibly just releasing some NEW gear I have about finished (see below) as add-ons instead of a new stretch goal perk. 

Then you'll be able to select some ADDITIONAL cool new stuff FROM the (COMING SOON) Tiny Survival Gear line as add-ons (with additional guides and cards - if you like) after Kickstarter campaign ends. 

I'll cover how this will work in a future update. It's quite simple. 

Double Sided Tiny Knife Sharpener

One item I am working on is a double sided, credit card sized, diamond sharpener. I think we can do fine grit on one side and extra fine on the other. How COOL is that? 

This would be a PERFECT item you could carry in an Altoids Survival Tin Kit or carry in your wallet to sharpen your Tiny Survival Card Knife (or any other knife) - in a pinch. 

SO, let me know your thoughts, and I'll be back with an update on Saturday or Sunday.

So Don't Wait... Time is Running Out!

If you are not IN on the Tiny Survival Guide and Card Kickstarter Project - NOW is the Time - Only 4 Days Left! 

*Click Here* to join in, support this project and get some FANTASTIC "never been done before" EDC gear that could save your life. 

Before I Go, Here Are Some of Our Friend's Projects that We LOVE... 

Sonnet: A GAME CHANGER For Wilderness & Emergency Communication

Our friends Sonnet Labs has launched a revolutionary communication  device, Sonnet. At $119/pair, it creates an independent network for your  smartphones, etc. It uses its OWN SIGNAL to send each other text,   voice, images, and ALL files, thus NEEDS NO CELL SERVICE.  You can also  form your own Sonnet network with your friends which can  stretch the  range up to 100 km, and share internet connectivity! In a  nutshell, whenever and wherever you face a non-existent or unreliable  signal, you  might want Sonnet. We love it and we think you will too! CLICK HERE.  

Air Deck 2.0 - The ultimate travel playing cards

Following the success of the original project, our friends over at  Air Deck just launched Air Deck 2.0. These playing cards are premium,  waterproof, compact, lightweight and durable. Click HERE to see their  THREE NEW DESIGNS now. 

Thank You for Your Continued Encouragement and Support! 

Until Next Time... 

Be Prepared... Because You Never Know,

VIDEO - “Every Survival Kit Needs One of These” - $25,000 Perk + NEWS!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 08:11:31 AM

Greetings Friend, 

It was a great surprise - for sure! 

I was sitting at my computer and all of a sudden a new video from Bryan at "Survival on Purpose" popped up on YouTube titled... 

"Tiny Survival Guide Review - Every Survival Kit Needs One of These."

You see, not long ago, I gave Bryan a Tiny Survival Guide at SHOT Show in Las Vegas. He wanted to discuss it (on video) at the show. So I thought that was it. 

But I guess he took it home, spent a few days with it, and was so impressed that he decided to do a full 9 minute review on it. 

Here's the Video...

Then, Tony, the Editor of Backwoods Biker Magazine, posted his YouTube review for the Guide AND Card.

Tony has an interesting perspective... 

His magazine is geared toward folks who do long distance extended trips on their motorcycles into wilderness areas (think "Biker Bugout"). 

Tony and his team test a LOT of gear, and are VERY picky. So, I was surprised by his excitement about both the guide and survival card! 

Here's Tony's Video Review...

Now on to Our $25,000 Stretch Goal and a Perk for You! 

In my first update, I mentioned a few ideas for our $25,000 stretch goal and asked for your opinion. You all overwhelmingly picked the Fresnel Credit Card Sized Magnifier! 

This is a fantastic pick because it can travel with your guide and help you see some of the finer details (especially in the illustrations) better. 

PLUS,  it is possible to use it like a magnifying glass to start a solar fire. 

Now, Here's the Good News!

We are already at $22,536 (when I last checked) with 651 Backers! So getting to $25,000 should be EASY, especially with 10 days left. Go TEAM! 

But THE Dream is Bigger than This...

Imagine how many lives might be saved if we could get the Tiny Survival Guide into the hands of a million (or more) people in 2019.

So Craig and I Want to Humbly Ask for Your Help! 

Please spread the word to your friends, family, fans or followers via email, message or on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, MeeWee, or any other platform you connect with folks on. 

Using this link (see below) in your emails, texts and social media posts will help me track how we are doing as we progress to our $25,000 goal. AND beyond. Here's the link: https://kck.st/2QY2nSy 

TV, Radio, Magazines, Blogs, Podcasts... 

We'd LOVE to Serve You (and Your Audience) With Interesting Content...

And Talk About: How to Deal With... 

- Wilderness Mishaps - Civil Unrest - Personal Self-Defense - Natural Disasters - Worst Case Scenario Events - Active Shooter and Terror Threats - Severe Weather Preparation -  Disaster Readiness - Leadership - Manliness - Or just about anything else.

So, if you, or someone you know, are connected with a media outlet - Please let us know. 

Craig Caudill (see photo of him below), my friend and co-author of the Tiny Survival Guide (and I) would love to share life-saving information on topics we all face today (and share a little bit about this Kickstarter project). 

Talk about tough topics... That's what Craig and I do (almost every day) on The SURVIVAL SHOW Podcast! 

You can email us at [email protected]

Note: Craig is also the Author of Extreme Wilderness Survival (and two other popular books), and he is my co-host on The SURVIVAL SHOW Podcast. 

ONE Last Thing - HOW TO Add Additional Items to Your Pledge!

Many, many, many of you have asked us how to add items to your pledge. 

We've made this super simple. 

For my last Kickstarter project - the MSK-1 Survival Knife System - I used BackerKit to fulfill pledges and allow folks to add on additional items AFTER the Kickstarter Campaign ended. 

It worked super sweet. 

So we are using BackerKit again!  

Want to add a guide or card to your pledge? No problem!

You do NOT have to do anything now to add additional items. The opportunity to add items will happen AFTER this Kickstarter Campaign ends!

So, stand by... 

Before you go, Craig and I want to say, “Thank YOU!” 

Thank you for your faith in us. Thank you for your kindness, Thank you for spreading the word. Thank you for your support and encouraging words! 

You are going to LOVE the Tiny Survival Guide and Card!

I'll be back when you guys blow by the $25,000 goal. Until then...

Keep It Simple, Be Positive, and Stay Sharp!

FAN-Tastic! Tiny SURVIVAL Gear - Update #1
about 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 08:41:28 AM

Hey Friend,

Here’s a BIG thumbs up to YOU (photo below)...

So this morning I was up early. Went to the gym to workout. I was playing basketball with Producer Ben (from The SURVIVAL SHOW Podcast, the genius behind our Kickstarter video and my son). 

Ben had just whooped me for the second straight time in a game of one-on-one. 

As I was gasping for air, I reached down to get my iPhone, and a text that we just hit our funding goal for THIS project came in from Carin, my wife.

That’s crazy! You did it!

We launched last night. I went to bed. Woke up. Went to the gym and and BAM! You guys did it. Thank YOU!

So the Tiny SURVIVAL GUIDE and the Tiny SURVIVAL TOOL are now a reality because of you.  SWEET!

NEXT Up, Stretch Goals and a PERK or Two.

If you are new to Kickstarter, a perk is an extra “Thank You” reward that is added  on to a pledge when you help us reach our next stated goal. 

So, our next goal is $25,000.  

This should be easy since we just blew past $5,000 and we are only in Day #2 - Nice! 

Pick a Perk... 

Let’s try this… YOU Guys let Craig and I know what you would like to see for YOUR first perk when we hit $25,000. 

Basically, what would inspire you to share this campaign with your friends, family and contacts?

Here are some perk ideas (let me know your thoughts):

• Disaster Plan Checklist (A fantastic resource to help you prepare).
• Credit Card Sized Fresnel Lens - with each Tiny SURVIVAL GUIDE - for fire starting and guide magnification.
• How to Make the Perfect Altoids Tin Survival Kit - VIDEO
• “Survival Essentials” App that Integrates with the TINY SURVIVAL Guide. 
• 5 Ways to Increase Your Survival IQ - REPORT

The EASY Way to Get More Rewards… 

So to get you started… Please use this link in your emails, texts and social media posts to direct folks over to this project: https://kck.st/2QY2nSy

Using this link will help me track how we are doing as we progress to our $25,000 goal. Thanks!

Before I go… Craig and I want to say, “Thank YOU!” 

We are blessed and humbled by your encouragement, kindness and generous support of this important project. 

Talk soon. 

Warmest regards,

~David
