Speaking and Fees

Bio

Gayle Buske is the President and CPPM (Chief Pistol Packin’ Mama) of Survival4Chicks, where we cook with one hand and shoot with the other. Survival4Chicks was born of a realization of how many women own handguns but don’t know how to use them to defend themselves. As a Master Firearms Instructor, NRA Certified Instructor, and a former member of the United States military, Ms. Buske is uniquely qualified to speak to firearms and personal self-defense.

Gayle enjoys spending her free time with her husband, Jim, their daughter Madison, practicing Yoga, reading, hiking, off-roading, watching NASCAR®, and of course spending time at the range.

Survival4Chicks provides women-only firearms and survival training.

Speaking Fees

Up to 4 hours: $1,000 plus expenses (see below).

4-8 hours: $1,900 plus expenses (see below).

Required Travel Expenses: Airfare (advanced fare coach-class inside Continental U.S.; Business-class outside Continental U.S.), hotel accommodations, ground transportation, parking and meals.

Speaking Topics

Ms. Buske can speak on any of the following topics, tailored to fit your time allotment:

1) An abbreviated Personal Defense Inside the Home (usually an all-day class) where I’d discuss aspects of personal protection in the home, along with strategies for home protection.

2) Selecting a handgun (this couldn’t be stretched to more than 1.5 hours)

3) Personal defense tools (covering pepper spray, handguns, tazers, etc.)

4) A little bit of all of the above but more abbreviated.

Ms. Buske is also willing to entertain other topics if you have other ideas in mind.

Room Set Up

If you have already scheduled Gayle to speak, please use the following as a guideline for room setup. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Buske.

• A raised platform or stage. This stage should provide the audience an unobstructed view of Gayle during her presentation.
• Podium
• 6’ table skirted to match the event.
• A wireless, clip-on microphone. This microphone needs to connect to the room’s speaker system or independent audio equipment.
• Speakers located in front and also behind the audience is recommended. Please test all audio equipment prior to Ms. Buske’s arrival.
• A separate light source/spotlight for the stage will help with keeping the audience’s focus on Ms. Buske during her presentation.
• Please do not overseat the room. If you are planning on presenting to 300 people, set chairs for only 300 (or even fewer). This will force the audience to fill all of the seats, including the front row.
• The front row should be no further than 10 ft. from the stage.
• It is requested that the chairs in the room are staggered, instead of directly behind each other. This will offer a better view to the audience members.
• Before the presentation, please request that the audience turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc.
• Using a dark backdrop on the stage will help accentuate the presenter during the event.

Travel Information

Gayle asks that the client prepay and book all travel and hotel arrangements on her behalf.

Requirements for travel include round trip airfare (from Montrose, Colorado), transportation to and from the event and other expenses (i.e. parking at the Montrose airport, hotel, meals etc.).

Speaker Introduction

Our speaker for this morning/afternoon/evening is Gayle Buske. Former military and an avid “prepper”, Gayle has learned and trained in firearms and survival for over 20 years. She is an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor, Master Firearms Instructor, and active prepper.

As a result of her training and life experiences, she is now in demand as a speaker, generally to women-only audiences.

Her website, www.Survival4Chicks.com, provides survival information, preparedness tips, and recipes for scratch-made foods, which are important during tough times.

Ms. Buske’s audiences quickly come to the conclusion that individual and family preparedness is of the utmost importance. No one is immune from the need to learn self-protection and self-sufficiency.

She is a frequent speaker before all types of business and civic groups.

Please help me give a warm welcome to Gayle Buske, the Chief Pistol Packin’ Mama!
