Guidance, Solutions for Your Resilient Future  

There is broad scientific and economic consensus that risk of environmental and economic collapse will increase significantly over the next 30 years.  We are already experiencing unprecedented flooding, fires, and extreme weather.  Political and financial systems are stressed out.  If and when there is a crisis, do you really want virtually all of your assets in worthless digital currencies and a house without a functioning toilet, lights, refrigeration, food or heat? Or, for a modest sum, would you prefer some safety and comfort while others are scrambling for their basic necessities? I can help you make wise, cost-effective choices that you and your family will deeply appreciate when the power goes out and there is no gas at the pumps.

Consulting Services 

Send me a message and we'll set up a time to chat.  It's free and there's no pressure to call me again. I really don't need the money. I do this to be of service in an area where I've acquired a lot of expertise.  If you need more than half an hour of my time to answer all of your questions we can make an arrangement for another half hour or hour of paid consulting.  You'll prepay via venmo and I will refund any time you don't need. 

​

If you decide there are certain things you'd like to do to be more resilient and you want me to suggest solutions and products for you, I will write up those reports at my hourly rate and email them to you.  It shouldn't take long.

​

Depending on where you live, I am happy to come to your site and help you devise a plan for your place.

​

If you live within an hour of my home in central NC, I am happy to implement your plan with and or for you.  I really enjoy working with my clients.  I am open to quoting those jobs or doing them on a cost plus basis with or without your help. 

​

Clients are welcome to tour my resilient homestead at mutually convenient times.

Success Stories

I have relied on Trip Overholt’s design/build services for years. He understands how to create spaces from the soil to completed construction.  Trip has supervised septic projects, well water projects, pond creating projects, and road grading projects for me over time. He’s also built foundations, and additions, whole buildings, and conducted major renovations for me.  Together Trip and I have done major “re-development projects.”  With Trip I have created masterpieces.  He’s good at communicating, and has offered me many “corrective lens” for some of my construction ideas. Trip is part optometrist, part therapist, part general contractor, part builder.  It’s helpful to have Trip’s visionary genius on hand.  He can frame, tile, plumb, wire, pour concrete, change the grade, and make just about any project come to fruition.
Before engaging Trip’s services, I paid a vast amount on “tuition.” I did things incorrectly, I created projects that were poorly built i
ncluding some projects that were abandoned entirely. Money spent on Trip’s ideas has been money well spent.  I cannot endorse him and his work highly enough.”
