Australia's First Shop for Preppers

TESTIMONIAL
I contacted Trevor to tailor a full day workshop with Masters of Architecture students at the AA School of Architecture, London and The University of Melbourne for a design studio about the future of food, and how we can begin to design the built environment for societal collapse. We participated in Trevor's full-day workshop at his farm in Ararat, and I couldn't have asked more from the experience. As a group of Masters of Architecture students, the workshop was a unique departure from traditional architectural academia, and left a lasting mark on their understanding of resilience and resourcefulness. Trevor's expertise and passion were evident from the moment the workshop began. His thorough knowledge of survival strategies and practical advice provided us with invaluable insights into how to navigate and thrive in challenging and extreme situations. From adapting the soil, basic hunting techniques to essential survivalist skills, Trevor guided us through every step with a blend of expertise, approachability and openness. One of the highlights of the workshop was Trevor's in-depth exploration of growing and storing food in an EOT scenario. His guidance on cultivating food sources and optimising limited resources was eye-opening, and provided the essential insights towards our studios aims. What truly set this workshop apart was Trevor's engaging teaching style. He seamlessly tailored his content to our background as architecture students, making the workshop highly relevant and relatable. As a small group of 6 students, Trevor ensured personalised attention, fostering an environment where questions and discussions flowed freely. I can confidently say that Trevor's workshop was not just informative, but transformative for the students and myself. It expanded their horizons beyond architecture and instilled a newfound appreciation for preparedness and adaptability, and the importance of the design implications that can implemented today to prepare for tomorrow. If you're seeking a workshop that combines essential survivalist techniques with a deep understanding of sustainable practices, I wholeheartedly recommend Trevor's workshop. It's an investment in practical knowledge that has the potential to make a significant difference in any unexpected scenario. On behalf of the students and faculty, I can only thank Trevor for his passion, dedication and generosity. Rob Smith 2023 -- Rob Smith | Creative Director Bompas & Parr Studio Ltd.
