Get With It.
Based in British Columbia, Canada, ØFFSPECWAR started as a semi-anonymous outlet on social media, for firearms, military, and other tactical content.
A place to discuss knowledge, and break down institutionalized rhetoric without the judgement of labels.
We offer introductory and intermediate firearms training, Stop The Bleed courses, and some of the world's best trauma medicine supplies.
We are an authorized Canadian dealer for CTOMS, SAM Medical & JTACtical Solutions. Registered Business 1371910 B.C. LTD.
ØFF Spec, and ØFF Brand.
It's time to break the mold, and break the norm.
So what makes us qualified to teach? We have a fraction of knowledge to share and the ability to share it. Our instructor cadre come from a wide range of professional and amateur backgrounds (LEO, MIL, CPO, Civilian), offering a unique mix of perspectives in our training.
Are we the best? Hell no, not even close.
We're all still learning and getting better, and if you're at a high enough level where we have nothing to offer you, I've got a long list of incredibly talented instructors I’ll gladly recommend.
I've been incredibly fortunate to learn from some of Canada's finest warfighters, operators, close protection officers, and law enforcement officers. Their mentorship through military service and training courses have formed the basis of ØFFSPECWAR.
