About the founder

Clarise is a STASA qualified survival instructor (BSI-23-26) from South Africa and lives in a small village in the Western Cape. She is the founder of Live Ready and believes that survival skills, bush craft and preparedness are not just for those with advanced outdoor skills, but that every person should make those elements part of their lifestyle especially in the times we live in today.


"The purpose of the Live Ready platform is to share our experiences of survival, bushcraft and preparedness while assisting people in learning skills at a level that is easy and practical. These skills can be adopted by anyone on their journey to preparedness. I believe we can do this while taking care of our environment and ensuring the sustainability and longevity of our resources and wildlife. With the implementation of the mark of the beast many of us will no longer be able to buy or sell, to earn a living and to continue being a part of society. For this reason we need to prepare ourselves to survive this period in time".

Through the Live Ready Youtube channel, Clarise shares her experiences of her time spent in the wilderness, recommendations on the right gear to get you there and important survival skills needed to sustain yourself in the wild.
