Resilient Not Reliant was born out of a desire to be as strong, sovereign, and adaptable as possible.

Over our lifetimes, we’ve noticed that much of society has handed over their personal freedoms in exchange for the illusion of safety. People have, often to their own detriment, shifted responsibility for their health to the pharmaceutical and medical industries. They’ve also been tricked into working for a fiat currency that’s intentionally devalued. This reality came into stark focus in 2020 when governments worldwide imposed lockdowns, printed trillions of dollars, pushed mainstream media propaganda and silenced anyone—even medical professionals—who spoke out against the narrative.

After a period of anger, helplessness, and uncertainty, we realized that the best way to fight back against the system was to remove our dependency on it. Our mission became clear: to be Resilient, not Reliant—and to withstand adversity by strengthening ourselves across three essential areas: Fitness, Finance, and Preparedness.

Fitness: We use the term “fitness” rather than “health” because health has come to mean merely the absence of disease. Fitness, on the other hand, is the ability to outperform and outcompete others in our environment. If resilience is the goal, we have to optimize for fitness—both physical and mental—because just being healthy isn’t enough.

Finance: Financial repression is how governments and central banks siphon wealth from people through taxes, currency debasement, inflation, and the gradual elimination of private property rights. To be financially resilient, we have to counter these tactics by creating independent income streams, acquiring hard assets and legally minimizing tax obligations. Finance isn’t just about making money; it’s about multiplying our wealth and independence, giving us the power to say “NO” when pressured into something we don’t want to do. AKA - FU Money!

Preparedness: Money and fitness mean nothing if we can’t protect what matters. Preparedness is about living intentionally, gaining skills that fortify our resilience, planning to survive worst-case scenarios—and thrive in daily life. This includes choosing locations wisely, developing homesteading skills, learning civilian combat techniques, building strong networks, and crafting emergency plans.

As the great samurai Miyamoto Musashi once said, “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

At Resilient Not Reliant, we’re committed to sharing the highest quality knowledge, training, and tools to build strength across these three key areas. We aim to create a thriving community of people determined to reclaim their sovereignty, build resilience and live on their own terms.

Join us on this journey to true independence and strength.
