Step-by-step survival guides written for real people — not survivalist experts. Start free. Go deeper when you're ready.
The one card your family grabs when the grid goes down. Print at home for your wallet, glovebox, and fridge — the first-10-minutes moves plus a fill-in family plan.
12 fill-in worksheets to build your family's whole plan on paper — comms, water, food, supplies, documents, shut-offs, and more. Print at home and keep with your supplies.
The Blueprint gets your family through the first 90 days. The Playbook is what feeds them after that. Short-term response and long-term food production — the whole plan, together.
Every guide, one purchase. The Blueprint gets you through the first 90 days, the Playbook feeds you for the years after, and the Build Manual shows you how to build what you need with your own hands. The whole system, day one to years out.
85 pages of practical, scenario-specific survival information across 9 complete parts. Here's exactly what you get.
Water is your first priority. Without it, you have 3 days. This section covers exactly how much you need, where to store it, and multiple methods to make any source safe to drink.
Building a 90-day food supply is simpler than most people think. This section gives you a phased approach so you can start immediately — regardless of budget.
This section separates what actually works from what looks good on a shelf. Real-world power solutions for real families — no engineering degree required.
When the grid goes down, cell towers have 4–8 hours of backup power. After that, you need a communication plan that doesn't depend on infrastructure.
Security in a grid-down scenario isn't about building a fortress. It's about making your home a less attractive target and knowing your neighborhood.
This section is unique to the Blueprint — scenario-specific response protocols for the two most likely grid-down triggers: cyber attack and electromagnetic pulse.
A well-stocked pantry runs out somewhere around day 90. A seed planted on day 90 doesn't feed you until day 180. A tree planted today feeds your family for thirty years. The Survival Circle Playbook is 104 pages on building food production that keeps working when nothing is being delivered.
Every survival circle does five jobs: calories, fertility, pest defense, pollination, and physical security. Ring by ring, what goes where, and exact spacing tables for dwarf, semi-dwarf, and standard trees.
Apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, fig, persimmon, pawpaw, mulberry, elderberry, hazelnut, serviceberry, jujube, pomegranate and more. Zones, rootstock, chill hours, pollination requirements, storage life, and the specific companion plants matched to each.
Fence lines, corners, side yards, slopes, wet spots, deep shade, containers, and the tree you inherited. The rings are the logic — not the shape. Every layout includes a build sequence and a cost estimate.
Black walnut and juglone — the 60-foot kill radius most people never check. Allelopathy, invasive species warnings, and the five failures that take out established guilds, including the one that gets people in year two.
What your property tells a stranger walking past. The difference between a planting that reads as landscaping and one that reads as a food store — without producing one pound less.
The same five jobs done differently in cold zones 3–5, the humid Southeast, the arid interior West, coastal and maritime, and short-season high altitude. Adjusted plant lists for each.
Sourcing without overspending, planting a tree correctly, the first year, a full season-by-season maintenance calendar, and a year-by-year production timeline out to year ten.
Division, cuttings, layering, seed and grafting. How one planting becomes seven over five years for a total of about two hundred dollars — and why propagation is a preparedness skill, not a hobby.
The glut problem, cold storage, drying, fermentation, and root cellaring — the methods that still work with no power. Plus honest food safety guidance on canning, elderberries, and what not to eat.
