The Well-Rounded Prepper Readiness Binder cover
The real problem

You tried your best but got overwhelmed.

Most people who want to get prepared never do, but it isn’t because they don’t care. Life is busy, and a lot of the advice you hear is contradictory or won’t do you any good during the real events you and your family are most likely to face.

Most of us end up with a bunch of random supplies scattered across three closets and our garage. We don’t have a plan written down. And if something happened while we were at work, nobody else in our home would know where things are or what to do.

Most preppers don’t fail because they did nothing. They fail because they did one thing well and ignored everything else. The gap you can’t see is the one an emergency will find.

You don’t have to be a hard-core survivalist

Built for regular people, just like you.

You don’t need advanced wilderness skills or a huge budget. You need the basics covered, in the right order, with no big gaps. It’s something that any household can do.

This binder walks you through everything one area at a time, with real-world experience from someone who’s already done the homework.

Every safety fact comes from named, reputable authorities and is written in plain language a stressed person can actually follow. No fear-mongering. No filler.

How it works

Three steps to get your household ready.

STEP 01

Print it and build your binder

Download the PDF, print it single-sided, and drop it in any three-ring binder. The tabs are already laid out for you.

STEP 02

Take the Readiness Self-Check

Shade the Readiness Wheel honestly, and see, at a glance, exactly where your preps are strong and where they’re weak.

STEP 03

Fix your weakest area first

Work the areas in order of real risk, not the ones you are most interested in. Keep your Readiness Wheel up-to-date.

The Readiness Wheel
WATERFOODCOOKINGPOWER& HEATSHELTERHEALTHSECURITYCOMMSMOBILITY
Example: A lopsided wheel. Health and the Mobility Plan are the gaps this household needs to fix.

One picture that shows where you really stand.

The Readiness Wheel turns nine areas of preparedness into a single shape you can read in seconds. Rate each area from 1 to 4 and shade its wedge outward. A round, even wheel means your preps are well-rounded. A spiky, dented wheel means your preps are lopsided, and your smallest wedge is your true level of readiness.

1Not Started
Little or nothing in place. A routine event would catch you flat-footed.
2Basics
Enough for a routine event that lasts a few days. Gaps remain, but nothing dangerous.
3Well-Rounded
Can handle a serious event in this area without help for a while.
4Deep
Layered, practiced, redundant capability for long-term or multi-faceted events.
