BBelief
Your foundational convictions—spiritual, philosophical, and ethical—that anchor decisions made under extreme stress. We don't teach specific doctrines; belief systems function as survival architecture.

When systems fail, what keeps you alive?
Survival begins long before supplies are packed or rehearsals are run. It starts with what we carry inside us. Whether systems hold or fail, our goal is simple: prepare people for worst-case scenarios.
The Framework
B.R.E.A.T.H. — six elements that matter most when conditions deteriorate.
This model reframes survival not as a checklist, but as a holistic ecosystem. Spiritual and mental resilience anchors every physical need.
Medical needs shift from acute trauma to chronic care depending on circumstance. And when resources run thin, the will to persist bends toward hope.
RRefuge
Refuge operates at three scales: immediate (clothing/outer layer), intermediate (shelter structure), and permanent (established safe location)
EEnergy
Caloric reserve, physical conditioning, and restorative practices (sleep, recovery, breathwork). What powers the body and stabilizes the nervous system as well as your electronics.
AAtmosphere
When the environment threatens lungs (smoke, contamination, CO), act decisively. When the nervous system threatens clarity (panic, overwhelm), breathe deliberately. Same breath, two applications.

Tactical Proficiency
The Four Pillars — where competence meets conviction.
Purpose alone cannot build a fire, purify water, or stop bleeding. These principles originate in Special Operations-level military training and are adapted for civilian application throughout our training.
01
Move
Getting yourself or others away from danger or toward an objective.
02
Shoot
Protective capability when threats arise; includes basic firearms safety, tactical moving/shooting, and sustainable resource acquisition (hunting/fieldcraft).
03
Communicate
Communications is the foundation of community. Connecting survivors to help, to each other, to hope.
04
Medicate
Addressing injury and illness under constrained conditions—aligned with B.R.E.A.T.H.'s Treatment pillar.
The PACE Mindset
Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency.
It's the communications and preparedness framework that shapes how we train, plan, and respond. Every plan has a fallback, every fallback is rehearsed, and every rehearsal makes the next response faster.
PPrimary
The plan you expect to work. Clear, rehearsed, and resourced before the storm arrives.
AAlternate
The next viable option when the primary plan is degraded. Different path, same objective.
CContingency
A workable fallback when both the primary and alternate are unavailable. Slower, but it still gets the mission done.
EEmergency
The last-resort method to preserve life and continuity until normal operations can be restored.
The Equation
Wallace Resiliency Formula
Preparedness × Skills & TrainingMindset
=ResiliencyA better Mindset score raises the Resiliency result.
Mindset Scale
Mindset is rated 1 to 5 — lower is better.
- 1Wholly in alignment with our Creator.
- 2Able to improvise, adapt, and overcome in extreme conditions, as evidenced in training and real-world events.
- 3Able to care for yourself and your immediate circle.
- 4Able to take care of yourself: self-reliant.
- 5Reliant on the good will of the government to take care of your needs.
Why PACE Exists
The intersection where belief meets ability.
The heart of PACE Resiliency Training and Consulting is the weaving together of the common sense of B.R.E.A.T.H. with the proven operational rigor of tactical proficiency, creating people who don't just prepare, but are truly resilient.
Skills Over Paperwork
Our focus is practical competency over formal credentials. In a crisis, capability matters more than certificates. While we do not offer official certifications, our curriculum emphasizes immediate, real-world application. Skills you learn can be deployed today—not paperwork filed away.
