About Survival Human
Survival Human was founded on a simple belief: the survival of knowledge is as important as the survival of people.
Throughout history, civilizations have risen, fallen, struggled, recovered, and rebuilt. In every era, the communities that endured were those that preserved practical skills, shared knowledge, and passed hard-earned lessons to the next generation. Today, much of that knowledge risks being forgotten as society grows increasingly dependent on complex systems that few people fully understand.
Survival Human exists to help preserve that knowledge.
This website is dedicated to preparedness, self-reliance, resilience, continuity planning, and the practical skills that help individuals, families, and communities navigate uncertainty. It is not built on fear, panic, or predictions of catastrophe. Instead, it is founded on the belief that capable, informed people are better equipped to face whatever challenges life presents.
Whether preparing for a severe storm, a prolonged power outage, economic disruption, supply shortages, or simply the unexpected events of everyday life, knowledge remains one of the most valuable resources a person can possess.
About the Founder
Survival Human was created by author Scott Forbes.
Scott has developed a renewed appreciation for time, legacy, and the importance of preserving what matters. That experience reinforced a growing conviction that knowledge, experience, stories, and practical wisdom should not disappear simply because they were never recorded.
What began as an idea evolved into a mission: to create resources that help preserve information for future generations and provide practical guidance for those seeking greater self-reliance and resilience.
Through books, articles, videos, and ongoing projects, Scott continues to build a library of information designed to educate, inspire, and endure.
Our Mission
The mission of Survival Human is to:

Why Survival Human?
The name reflects a belief that survival is about more than food, water, and shelter.
True survival includes preserving knowledge, values, skills, history, and the ability of communities to work together during difficult times. It means maintaining the tools, information, and wisdom necessary for people not only to endure but to rebuild, recover, and move forward.
Survival Human is dedicated to that purpose.
Our Guiding Principle
Knowledge preserved today becomes capability available tomorrow.
