Be honest

Do you know these answers tonight?

  1. 01

    If the power went out right now, how many days of drinking water do you have at home?

  2. 02

    If the phones go down, do your kids know where to find you?

  3. 03

    How much cash do you keep at home for when card machines stop working?

  4. 04

    Which prescription would run out first, and how would you refill it?

  5. 05

    Who makes the call to leave, and where does your family go?

  6. 06

    Does your plan still work if your phone is dead?

If any of those made you pause, most families are in the same spot. The workbooks fix that: they ask the questions one at a time, and you write the answers down long before you need them.

This is real

It has already happened.

Each of these began on a normal day, and none of them gave anyone time to prepare.

246Feb 2021 / Texas

people died after Winter Storm Uri left millions of Texas homes without power. Most died from the cold, and 19 died from carbon monoxide.

45%May 2021 / East Coast

of the fuel used on the East Coast stopped flowing after a ransomware attack shut down the Colonial Pipeline.

45,000+Dec 2022 / North Carolina

homes and businesses lost power for days after gunfire damaged two substations in Moore County. A nighttime curfew followed.

8.5MJul 2024 / Worldwide

Windows machines crashed in a single morning from one bad software update. Flights were grounded, and banks, stores, and railways went offline.

5 secApr 2025 / Spain and Portugal

was all it took for Spain to lose roughly 60 percent of its electricity supply. Restoring more than 99 percent took about 18 hours.

The whole point

Stay ready, and you never have to scramble.

When the world ends, nobody pulls up the article they saved for later. They reach for what's written down, taped inside a cabinet door, and talked through at the kitchen table. Do the planning now, on an ordinary night, so the hardest night comes down to following the steps.

Run the numbers

How much water do you actually have?

The CDC recommends one gallon per person, per day. Most families are surprised by what two weeks of water looks like. Food math assumes about 2,000 calories per person per day; active adults, teens, and cold weather call for more.

56gallons of water
18cases of 24 bottles
112kcalories of food

A case is 24 half-liter bottles. The Water guide covers storing, filtering, and purifying it.

Scrambling vs. staying ready

The night it happens, with no plan

  • Digging through drawers for a flashlight in the dark
  • Driving to three stores for water that's already sold out
  • Not knowing whether to stay or leave
  • Scared kids, because nobody knows the plan

The night it happens, with the guides

  • Lights, water, and cash already counted
  • Supplies sized to your household
  • Written triggers for when to stay and when to go
  • Everyone knows where to meet and who to call

Questions

Before you decide.

Protect your family for only $19 $19
What comes with All-Access?

Every one of the 13 survival guides and all 13 printable workbooks, as PDFs you download right after checkout. You also get a private library link for downloading again on any device, plus the free First 72 Hours starter guide and its workbook.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once. Nothing renews and nothing gets billed later.

What are the workbooks?

Every guide comes with a workbook of fill-in pages: your household, what each person relies on, how much water and food you need, where you meet, and when you leave. Fill them in on screen with a PDF reader that supports forms, or print them for a binder.

Can I buy a single guide?

Yes. Single guides are $19 each (Grid Down is $14 through November 30), and extra guides can be added for $9 each at checkout. All 13 together are $97 through December 31, 2027, and $247 after that.

How does the $97 price work?

Any All-Access checkout started by 11:59 pm Eastern on December 31, 2027 is $97. From January 1, 2028, All-Access is $247, which is all 13 guides at $19 each. A checkout started before midnight keeps the $97 price.

Is this a physical book?

No. Everything is a PDF you download right after checkout. Read it on any phone, tablet, or computer, and print the plan pages so they still work when your devices don't.

Is the advice based on real guidance?

Each guide lists its sources. The safety numbers in Grid Down were checked against official sources in October 2026, including the CDC, U.S. EPA, FoodSafety.gov, the FDA, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. This is general preparedness information, not medical, legal, electrical, or firearms advice.

Do the gear links cost me more?

No. We don't earn a commission on any gear link. Picks are chosen for reputation, review volume, and real-world use.

What if I lose my download?

Your library link keeps working. You can also reply to your Stripe receipt or use the contact form below, and we'll send it again.

What if a file won't open?

If a download fails or a file is damaged, contact us within 30 days and we'll fix it or send a working copy.

Need help?

Question about an order?

Send us a note and we'll reply by email.

Is your family ready?

The best time to make a plan is while the lights are still on. Write it on a calm night, and when the world ends, all you have to do is follow it.
