I’m not an ex-military guy. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm just a regular man with a family and a small property in northern Arizona. But I’ve been paying attention—blackouts, water restrictions, food chain disruptions, inflation—and I realized something: we’re one bad week away from total dependence.
I know most people don’t have time (or patience) to dig through YouTube rabbit holes, sketchy PDFs or forums full of conflicting advice. That’s why I decided to build this site. Here, I’ve organized exactly what worked for me—real solutions, tested with my own hands. Below, you’ll find the systems I rely on every day, along with the specific step-by-step guides I used to build each one: Water, Food, Power and Shelter.
In 2022, our state issued a drought alert. Water bills skyrocketed, and wells started running dry. I went online desperate for alternatives. I tried a few solutions that didn’t work—until I found a course called Aqua Tower. It taught me how to build a simple water extractor using materials from the hardware store. It’s now the reason we haven’t bought bottled water in over a year.

I found guides on gardening, food storage, and preservation—but most were incomplete or outdated. Then I came across The Lost SuperFoods, and it changed everything. It’s the only resource I still use to this day, and it taught me how to build a real food reserve the old-school way.

When wildfires hit close to home in 2023, we lost power for nearly a week. I had tried solar before, but never got it to work reliably. Then I followed a course called Solar Safe, and for the first time, I had a clear plan that made sense. Within a weekend, I had a functioning solar system that now powers our lights, fans, freezer, and more.
✅ Build Your Emergency Solar SystemI’m not prepping for the end of the world—but I am preparing for when people panic. One night, after a robbery two blocks away, I knew I needed something more. I looked at dozens of bunker plans, spent weeks lost in blogs and PDFs. Until finally, I found a guide that gave me a clear plan, step-by-step instructions, and something I could actually build on my land. That course helped me build the shelter I have today.
