Wilderness Survival and Emergency Preparedness Expert
About John Berg
In 2017, John Berg spent 78 days solo in the Brooks Range of Alaska, no satellite beacon, no resupply, with only gear he’d designed or modified himself, including a modular tarp-shelter system now adopted by three national park backcountry rangers. He doesn’t teach generic ‘survival tricks’; he teaches *systemic redundancy*: how to layer low-tech solutions so failure in one component never cascades. His field manuals omit inspirational quotes and prioritize measurable thresholds, e.g., exact caloric depletion rates at -22°F with wind chill, or how to test water filter integrity using local lichen spores. Berg’s methodology emerged from leading FEMA’s wilderness response drills after Hurricane Maria, where he observed that most failures weren’t due to lack of gear, but misaligned assumptions about human stress-response under prolonged uncertainty. His voice is blunt, data-grounded, and relentlessly practical, less ‘what if’ and more ‘what breaks first, and what’s your Plan B when it does?’
