Grey Compass

GC-100 is the foundational course in the Grey Compass preparedness curriculum, designed to build practical capability through an integrated approach to firearms safety, emergency medical care, and fieldcraft.

Unlike traditional training that treats each discipline independently, GC-100 teaches students how these skills work together in real-world situations. From developing a preparedness mindset and mastering the universal rules of firearm safety to learning basic marksmanship, first aid, tourniquet application, navigation, shelter construction, and survival fundamentals, every lesson is designed to build competence through practical understanding.

Written for the everyday citizen, GC-100 emphasizes sound judgment, personal responsibility, and confidence over fear or sensationalism. Whether you're new to preparedness or looking to establish a stronger foundation, this handbook provides a structured path toward becoming more capable in the face of uncertainty.

Inside you'll learn:

• The mindset and principles of practical preparedness
• The universal rules of firearm safety and responsible gun handling
• Fundamental marksmanship techniques and safe weapons manipulation
• Basic first aid and emergency trauma response, including tourniquet and chest seal use
• Core fieldcraft skills, including navigation, shelter, water procurement, firecraft, and signaling
• How to integrate these disciplines into a cohesive preparedness framework

Preparedness isn't about predicting every emergency-it's about building the knowledge, skills, and judgment to respond effectively when life doesn't go according to plan.

Preparedness. Capability. Direction.
