INTRODUCTION
THE WORLD IS CHANGING
This isn’t the world your grandparents grew up in.
And unless you have your head buried in the sand, I’m sure you see it too…
 the devastation in New Orleans,

 the increase in natural disasters
ranging from wildfires, floods,
droughts, and severe storms,
 a growing distrust in our
government,
 an increase in lawlessness and
crime, and
 an economy on the brink of collapse
And on top of that there’s this underlying feeling that

most of us can’t shake…a feeling that…
Things are going to get worse

We live in a time where our basic needs are met through a complex network of communications,
supply lines, and relationships.
The obvious benefit of this system is the ability to deliver goods and services to specific locations in a
highly efficient manner. For example:
 water is clean and readily available through a simple twist of a faucet;

 procuring food or drink only takes a quick drive to the grocery store to pick more up; and
 electricity and fuel to power our appliances and run our vehicles requires one only to plug-in or
fill up.
However, the truth of the matter is most of us are completely dependent on this highly integrated
web to function and run without a hitch and…
It is far from bulletproof
YOU ARE VULNERABLE

All of these interdependent systems we rely on form a fragile
web.
Even small disturbances can send shock waves throughout the

whole system interrupting the flow of food, energy, and other
essential goods and services. Hurricane Katrina, the 9/11 attacks and
even small localized storms have proven this to be the case and…
The future may well prove to be

worse
Here in the U.S. and globally the economy is teetering on the edge of collapse. Our government
continues to live way beyond its means and as a result there is a great possibility for massive inflation
and economic upheaval similar to Argentina or Weimar Republic Germany. And all the while, terrorism
continues to cause uncertainty and threatens our fragile system.
THE MAJORITY ARE UNPREPARED

Despite recent events (9/11, Katrina, the economy), the majority of people are still unprepared for
even minor disruptions – let alone major disasters.
I understand that we, by nature, want to avoid the unpleasant. However, blindly assuming that things
will go on working tomorrow just like they did in the past is a recipe for disaster – this is often referred to
as normalcy bias.
And given that the average family has only 3-days’ worth of food in their pantry, if something ever
happened to our system…
We are literally 9 meals away from civil unrest

WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY STAND?
Now for the ultimate question: Where do you and your family stand? If something were to happen
tomorrow where you were out of power, fuel, water, and access to food from the grocery stores, how
would you survive? Do you have enough food and water set aside to ride it out? Or are you hoping to
be bailed out by a government that may never come?
THE 3 LEVELS OF DISASTER

There are three levels of disaster that you need to be aware of. Knowing where you stand in relation to
them is critical to knowing how much you should prepare:
As the level of disaster increases, the more skill and supplies you will need to survive.
How far you decide to go in your preparations is a decision you and your family must make but what’s
most important is…
The Time to Prepare is NOW

Disaster will not wait for you. The sooner you make your preparations the better off you’ll be should
disaster strike.
In the next section you’ll learn the 5 most crucial components (the core principles if you will) of
any effective survival plan. Miss just one of these and you and your family may not survive…
SECTION 1:
THE 5 MOST CRUCIAL COMPONENTS OF ANY SERIOUS
SURVIVAL PLAN
Hopefully (if you don’t already) you realize the importance of “prepping” and perhaps, even before
reading this, you began putting together some supplies for a possible disaster. But the question is…
Are you sure you’re stocking up on the right stuff?

When it comes to prepping, there are two main scenarios you’ll need to prepare for. They are:
“Sheltering-in-Place” and “Bugging Out”.
“Sheltering-in-Place” is basically the process of riding out a disaster in a fixed location like your home or
a survival retreat. “Bugging Out” on the other hand is surviving while on the road or in an austere
location devoid of “modern” conveniences -- with the purpose of eventually reaching a shelter-in-place
location.
It doesn’t matter if you’re putting together a specialized survival kit like a Bug-Out Bag to help you
evacuate to a safer location or you’re prepping your home for the end of the world, when it comes down
to it there are five key components that YOU MUST account for in any survival situation or you
likely will not survive.
These five components I refer to as the 5 Pillars of Survival. Here they are:
1. Personal Health & Security

2. Shelter
3. Water
4. Heat and Energy
5. Food
Here they are broken down into more detail:
PERSONAL HEALTH & SECURITY

The safety and health of you and your loved ones is paramount in any disaster-type
situation. For without health and security it really doesn’t matter how much food or water
you have stored away. It won’t do you much good if you’re too sick to use it, in constant
danger, or worse…dead.
What you’ll want to include in this category are all the items you need to provide health and
security for you and your family members or group. Typically this can be broken down into the
following subcategories: medical, hygiene and security.
MEDICAL AND HYGIENE

For medical items this includes items such as first-aid and trauma kits, extra prescription and over-the-
counter medicine. The hygiene component includes items such as soap, disinfectants, toothpaste and
toilet paper.
SECURITY
The second part of this category contains those things that you would need to keep you safe and
secure.
For a shelter-in-place situation this could include early-warning devices such as motion detectors,
guard dogs, and perimeter alarms as well as passive and active deterrents such as fences, upgraded
locks, physical barriers, firearms and so forth.
If you’re packing a kit for bugging out, you may consider items such as firearms, pepper spray, knives
etc. – basically anything portable that you feel comfortable using to protect your life and the lives of
your loved ones.
SHELTER
The primary purpose of shelter is to keep your body at a steady 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit. When you are considering the shelter portion of your survival plan you must keep
in mind all those things that would help you do that.
For example you need to consider staying warm in cool weather, dry during wet weather, cool in hot
weather and everything in between.
Basically, whatever contingency you’re planning for you’ll want to include the shelter component. In
other words if you are planning on riding out a storm or a disaster in your home or retreat by sheltering-
in-place, you’ll need to think of all the things you need to do to protect yourself from the elements.
This includes weatherproofing and insulating your home as well as shoring it up in preparation for
disasters common in your area. (Note: A fantastic resource for preparing your home for disasters can
be found on FEMA’s website. It will tell you steps to do BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER various types
of common disasters.)
For bugging-out, your shelter component may include winter clothing, rain gear, sleeping bags, tents,
and bivy sacks.
WATER
Water is life. Without it you will not last very long.
Given this fact, water is one of the most important of all preparations to make in both
sheltering-in-place and bugging out.
For a shelter-in-place situation, you generally want to store a minimum of 1 gallon of water
per person per day for a period lasting two-weeks. So that means at minimum you’ll need at least 14
gallons of water per person in your family or group. Keep in mind, this only accounts for cooking and
drinking. If you require water for washing, you’ll want to store more.
In addition to the actual storage of water, it’s necessary to have a means of filtering it as well. Although
you may have access to a water source, having a quality water filter is crucial so as to avoid drinking
water that may have become contaminated.
For bugging out, large amounts of water storage may not be possible given weight and space
restrictions so again, having a quality water filter for any water you may find while on the road is very
important.
In general your survival plan needs to account for the storage, collection and filtering of water –
again for both a fixed location or on the road.
If you’re interested in getting started with water storage you can find more details in Section 2:
Getting Started with Food Storage
HEAT & ENERGY

This pillar pertains to those things you would need for heat and energy.
Without heat and energy you would not be able to cook your food, warm your home, or run
those devices that you depend on for every-day living. This also includes your fuel and
lighting needs.
Breaking it down into sheltering-in-place and bugging out you’ll need to consider what types of gear you
require to provide these resources.
Here are some examples:
Sheltering-in-Place Bugging Out

batteries flashlights & lanterns flashlights stove fuel
solar setup firewood matches tinder
generator off-grid cookstoves firestarters lighters
wood stove lighters/matches campstoves
off-grid space fuel extra batteries
heaters
FOOD
The final pillar is food.
When you’re putting together your survival plan for both a fixed location and bug-out
scenario you’ll want to consider having enough food set aside.
How much food is enough? For a bug-out scenario – given the space and weight limitations -- it really
isn’t practical to have much more than a few days of food. But for a shelter-in-place scenario it really
depends on how far you want to take your preparations.
If you’re interested in getting started with food storage for a shelter-in-place situation you can find more
details in Section 2: Getting Started with Food and Water Storage.
TOOLS
With the Five Pillars in place, you can now add additional “tools” to your plan. Tools are all
those things that aren’t absolutely necessary for survival but make surviving much
easier.
This includes support items such as survival knives, navigation equipment, communication
gear, paracord and duct tape as well as things for mental sanity like games, digital-music players, fun
and inspirational literature and so on.
In addition to physical “tools”, I also like to include mental “tools” (skills) in this category as well. This is
where training comes into play. After all, training trumps gear and the more you know the less you
need.
When you consider training options, it helps to complement each of the five pillars. Here’s an example
list:

 EMT/Paramedic training
 Combat medic training
 First-aid/CPR training
 Herbalism
 Firearms training
 Martial arts training
SHELTER
 Home repair skills
 Primitive shelter making
 Clothes/Shoe making
 Knitting/Sewing/Crocheting
WATER
 Finding it in the wild
 Primitive filtering
 Alternate collection methods (solar still etc)
HEAT AND ENERGY

 Primitive firemaking
 Gassifier building
 Solar energy setups and repair
FOOD
 Hunting
 Fishing
 Trapping
 Tracking
 Edible plant identification and use
 Cooking/Baking
Now that you know the foundational principles (or pillars) of any survival plan, let’s go into
more detail about what many people get stuck on: the food/water portion. In the next section,
you’ll learn a simple 5-step process for getting started with food/water storage…
SECTION 2:
GETTING STARTED WITH FOOD AND WATER STORAGE
STEP 1: WATER
The first part of your preparations should be water.
Water? Aren’t we talking about

food storage here?
Well, you can have all the food in the world but if you don’t
have water you won’t be living long enough to enjoy that food.
In most cases, you’ll be around for around three days.
One easy way to remember this is with the 3-3-3 rule:

Generally speaking you cannot live longer than 3 minutes
without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.
In an ideal world, we would all have a year’s supply of water stored away. However for most people,
storing a year’s supply of water is not practical and in many cases not necessary. At a minimum you
should store at least 2 weeks (14 days) worth of water.
Here are some pointers:
 You should have at minimum one gallon per person, per day, for 14 days:
One gallon per person is just enough for cooking and drinking. This does not include water for
washing (you’ll need to factor more for that).
14 days acts as a buffer zone that gives you time until the infrastructure problem is fixed or at
least until you can figure out other water-procurement methods.
If you live in an arid area where water is hard to come by then it’s absolutely important that you
store as much as is practical. If you have the space, look into purchasing some 55 Gallon
Water Barrels.
 Store the water in a cool, dark place:
Light and heat break down plastics and can contribute to bacterial growth. Limit exposure to
both. Preferably avoid moist areas where mold easily forms.
 Ideally PETE or food-grade plastic containers should be used:
Used soda or juice bottles work great in a pinch. Just be sure to clean it out well. I wouldn’t
recommend used plastic milk jugs though. Milk contains a protein that doesn’t easily wash out
and may contribute to bacterial growth. Plastic ‘water’ jugs with screw-on tops can be used
although they need to be rotated yearly due to becoming brittle with time.
 Thoroughly wash your containers before filling them up:
Wash the containers with warm, soapy water and sanitize them by putting a teaspoon of
household bleach (non-scented) in a gallon of water. Pour this solution into the container and let
it sit for about two minutes. Then rinse out with potable (suitable for drinking) water.
 Treat non-chlorinated water with bleach:
Most municipal water sources are chlorinated so bottles can be filled up right from the tap. If you
get your water from a well or other water source than adding bleach will prepare the water for
storage. The general rule is 8 drops of non-scented liquid household chlorine bleach per gallon
of water (2 drops per quart).
 Rotate the water regularly:
If you are not storing commercially bottled water then it’s a good idea to rotate the water every
six months. I find it easiest to just use the water, then when finished I’ll follow the steps above
putting the newly-filled water container in the back of the storage queue FIFO style (first-in first-
out).
Storing water is an easy step. Instead of throwing out your used water jugs or soda bottles, clean them
out and fill them up with water. With time the process becomes a regular habit and you’ll have your
minimum 2 weeks of stored water in no time. Just be sure to start now!
STEP 2: BUILDING YOUR SHORT-TERM SUPPLY

Now that you have at least 2 weeks’ worth of water stored away, you are ready to move on to the next
step…building a short-term supply of food.
When people first decide they need food storage, they immediately get overwhelmed. They hear about
getting a years’ supply and don’t know where to start.
It need not be so difficult
As with most things, start off small and build from there. That’s where the short-term supply comes
into play.
The short-term food supply primarily consists of non-perishable items that are part of your normal daily
consumption such as pasta, canned goods, jarred sauces, frozen meats, juices and so on. Included in
this list are other non-food essentials such as medicine, hygiene products (don’t forget the toilet paper),
diapers and other kid-related needs, cleaning supplies, and so on.
What’s great about this supply is that you don’t have to change your daily or weekly routine in
order to build it up. The best way to begin is to buy just a little-bit extra each time you go
shopping.
The way I recommend is to start with building a 2-week’s supply (what I call “The 2-Week Pantry”), then
work towards a month’s supply and then finally three months.
Once you reach an amount sufficient for a three-month supply it’s important that you then rotate it —
replacing/purchasing those items that you use as you need them.
Since our food storage is in our basement, I find it easiest to just keep a little white board with a marker
down where our three-months supply is to quickly jot down whatever we take up to use. At the end of
the week, this list then gets copied to my wife’s iPhone where she goes out and purchases whatever is
on the list.
What you’re left with is a rotating supply of food that will never get older than three
months, and…
Let’s not forget the added bonus of peace of mind.

STEP 3: LONG-TERM FOOD STORAGE
At this point, you should have 2-weeks’ worth of water stored away (or more if you live in areas where
natural sources of water are hard to find). You should also have a three-month supply of food and other
necessities that you are continually using and replacing. Once those are all set, the next step is to now
start thinking about your longer-term needs.
When I refer to ‘longer-term needs’, I’m talking about storing a year’s worth of food or more.
While the food that typically goes into a 3-months rotating supply generally needs to be eaten within a
few months to a year, your ‘long-term’ storage will contain those items that will last much much
longer — typically 10 – 30 years or more. These are foods that you will use to stay alive, such as wheat,
white rice, and beans.
Before you throw your hands up in despair, don’t feel you need to go out and buy a whole year’s worth
in one setting. Just as with the three-month supply, you’ll want to gradually build up this supply of food.
Let’s go through the process of how it’s done…
TASK 1: PREPARE YOUR STORAGE AREA:

The first step is to determine where you want to store your long-term supply. In the three-month
supply, simple shelves are all you need. But with a year’s worth, you need a space that is large enough
and preferably away from heat and light. If you have a basement this is the ideal place. If not then an
available closet, room, or storage area will also work in a pinch.
My house, for example, was made in the early 1940s and has an old wine cellar area that shoots off
from the main foundation. This room is ideal because it doesn’t fluctuate too much in temperature and
is always dark.
Don’t get caught up in thinking that you can’t do long-term food storage because you need to have the
‘ideal’ spot, or that because you live in a small apartment it wouldn’t work for you. Part of self-reliance
is making do with what you have. Think a little bit and you’ll come up with a solution.
TASK 2: D ETERMINE HOW MUCH YOU N EED:

Trying to figure out just how much long-term food storage you need for your family can be a bit of a
chore. To make this step easy for you, I’ve included a link to a food storage calculator that figures out
the suggested needs based on the amount of weeks and number of people that you want to store away
for. You can access the food-storage calculator here.
TASK 3: GRADUALLY BUILD UP YOUR Y EAR’S SUPPLY

For most people’s budgets, buying a year’s worth of food storage in one fell swoop is not
possible.
Although it is very important to have a year’s supply, I wouldn’t recommend going into debt to get it.
Instead, start small. Just like with your 3-month supply of food you want to gradually build it up over
time. You’ll be surprised at how quickly this store of food builds up.
My wife and I, for example, began building our year’s supply by buying $25 worth of bulk items per
month (rice, wheat, beans etc). As we had a little extra money to play with, we would buy more and
within a year’s time we were able to build up a one-year supply of food.
As with any goal, break it up into manageable chunks. Start with a 3-month supply of long-term food
items, and then move onto 6 months and finally a year’s worth. Again…
It’s important that you start now.

TASK 4: B ECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THE BASIC LONG-TERM FOODS
AND H OW TO USE AND S TORE T HEM
There are a ton of resources online which can teach you what foods are best for long-term storage,
how you should store them, and what types of meals you can make out of them. Some of my favorite
sites are (links will work in Adobe Reader):
Food Storage Made Easy – Don’t be dissuaded by all the pink. Julie and Jodie have a great talent for
making food storage understandable and available for the masses -- lots of good resources and ideas.
Every Day Food Storage – Crystal’s blog is a great resource for how to use food storage in day-to-day
life.
Simply Living Smart – A ton of info and videos related to everything food storage.
Provident Living – A great resource for self-reliance put together by the LDS church.
TASK 5: PRACTICE USING YOUR FOOD STORAGE NOW

Get accustomed to cooking and using your long-term food storage in your everyday life.
Now is the time to find out what you like and dislike, or what you’re allergic to — not in the middle of a
crisis situation.
The more you get used to eating and preparing your

food storage now, the easier the transition will be when
you have no choice.
It’s best to include as part of your 3-month supply a portion of your long-term storage. For example, we
use as part of our 3-month storage a portion of our long-term supply such as wheat (that we grind into
flour), rice, oil, salt, yeast, sugar etc. This saves a ton of money in the long term and it keeps our stock
well rotated.
Remember with all of this; take it one step at a time.
By starting small you will quickly get into a rhythm and build some nice momentum. Soon you’ll be as
obsessed with it as me and your family will be calling YOU the human squirrel.
STEP 4: NON-FOOD ITEMS

If you’ve followed each of the previous steps you should now have 2-weeks’ worth of water, a three-
month supply of food and other necessities that is continually rotated, and you should be working
towards a year’s supply of long-term food items.
This next step - Step 4 - is really just an extension of Step 3.
You can do this step in tandem with procuring your year’s supply of food or you can finish Step 3 first
before moving on to this step. The only thing I’d recommend is that you focus on the food items first
and foremost. Buy the non-food items when you see good sales, otherwise purchase your long-term
food first. Remember, you can eat wheat not toilet paper.
It’s important that you build up a supply of items that are commonly used by your family. Here’s a
recommended list that should get you started:
PAPER SUPPLIES
 Toilet Paper
 Paper Towels
 Diapers/Wipes
 Tissue Paper
 Feminine Products
 Cotton Balls
PERSONAL HYGIENE
 Soap
 Deodorant
 Shampoo
 Shaving Cream
 Diaper Rash Cream
 Toothpaste/Toothbrushes
CLEANING SUPPLIES
 All-Purpose Cleaner
 Bleach
 Laundry/Dish Soap
 Trashbags
MISCELLANEOUS
 Dog/Cat Food (Hey…Fido needs to live too, unless of course you’re planning on eating Fido as
part of your food storage)
 Batteries
 Candles
 Light Bulbs
 Fuel
By no means is this list exhaustive (you can find a more extensive list in the “77 Items” section later on
in this document). On the other hand, don’t get so caught up that you feel you need everything right
away either. Build up slowly and as you have the means and resources available stock up on these
items.
What’s great about most of the items on this list is that particular storage parameters (heat, light, etc)
aren’t that big of an issue. Any free space will do: your barn, shed, attic, basement, under the bed and
so on.
STEP 5: THE BASICS AND BEYOND

If you’ve been able to accomplish all the steps before this one, let me congratulate you! Your household
should now be able to survive a year without any need for grocery stores, mini-marts, food stamps, or
government handouts. Feels good doesn’t it?
If you’re only reading this though, I hope by now you have a better understanding of where you need to
begin. The most important thing to get out of all of this is to (lest you get weary with me repeating
myself) start small. Begin with Step 1. Once you gain confidence in storing bottles of water, take on
Step 2 which is only a matter of buying a little extra of what you already eat and use each time you go
shopping.
Even if you are only able to accomplish the first two steps, you’ll gain a huge amount of confidence and
peace of mind. This should carry you over to Step 3 and 4 which is building your year’s supply of food
and essential non-food items. While the last two steps are more involved, you need not feel
overwhelmed. Again, just begin small and build up from there (are you beginning to see a pattern
here?). Soon you’ll be well on your way to a year’s supply.
So what’s next?
Once you’ve completed the four steps, where do you go from there?
Well there’s still plenty to do and learn. Since I consider food storage in the realm of survival, if you
really want to go beyond just surviving and instead move onto thriving during those hard times ahead,
there happens to be a plethora of skills and knowledge to gain on the subject of self-reliance and
preparedness (again, this goes back to the “Tools” part previously discussed in the 5-Pillars Section
above).
Here’s a list of just some of the subjects that you can learn about:
 Clothes Making and Household Crafts

 Financial Security
 Gardening
 Homesteading
 Raising Livestock (chickens, goats, rabbits etc)
 Solar, Wind, and Other Forms of Alternate Energy
 Primitive, Urban, and Wilderness Survival Skills
 Self-Defense (Unarmed and Armed)
 Local Plant Identification and Use
 Herbal Medicine
 Hunting
 and More…!
What’s important is that you continue to grow and develop. The more self-reliant you can become the
more helpful you will be to those who are less fortunate during the hard times ahead.
If you are someone who would rather have an easy reference-list of items to stock up on, in the
next section you’ll learn the “77 Critical Items that Disappear During a Disaster”…
SECTION 3:
77 CRITICAL ITEMS THAT DISAPPEAR DURING A
DISASTER
Whenever crisis happens, the typical response of

people who haven’t planned ahead is a mad rush to
the gas stations, food marts and hardware stores…
Effectively, and quite

literally, emptying the
shelves.
With the combination of limited supply and desperate
people, violence is a common occurrence.
By following the instructions I outlined in the previous sections, you will have tremendous peace-of-
mind and confidence knowing that you will never have to join those flocks of people.
Here is a list of 77 common items that vanish during a disaster -- organized into the 5 Pillars of

STRUGGLING WITH GETTING PREPARED?…YOU’RE NOT ALONE
First off, let me say: If you’ve been seduced
by any of these myths…I get it. I was too.
When I first started prepping, I was a wet-

behind-the-ears father barely starting my
career. I didn’t have the resources to buy
those freeze-dried, done-for-you, multiple-
thousand-dollar food storage supply kits — let
alone a remote, fully-stocked retreat up in the
mountains somewhere.
On top of that, with the GLUT OF

INFORMATION out there in the form of blogs,
books, YouTube videos and forums, I didn’t
know where to begin, how to start, and what
was most important.
One day I’m spending my hard earned money on firearms and ammo in preparation for the
“zombies” and the next day I’m thinking I need to stock up on a 3-month’ supply of high-
calorie emergency bars for when the shelves clear.
I took a ”ready, FIRE, aim” approach to prepping…and as a result, was grossly unprepared
for a real disaster that came to visit…
Hi, my name is Erich and although I now feel confidently prepared for the
tough times ahead, it wasn’t always this way...
“My Family Survived One Night, But Would They Last Another?…”
The Night that Changed My Life
It seemed like any other December night in New England. At least so I
thought…
But what happened that night would forever change how I felt about
“prepping” and how ultimately…no matter what your
circumstances…YOU can become confidently prepared for the tough
times ahead.
I remember that night so clearly. In fact, I remember the exact date and
time.
It was just after 11pm on December 11th, 2008. My wife and I had
tucked our 1-year old in her crib after her last feeding and we eagerly
curled up into our own bed after a long, exhausting day.
Shortly after falling asleep, we both bolted upright to the explosions

coming from the pitch dark outside. Luckily for them, by the end of that first day most of the main roads were
cleared. I watched my wife and daughter pack up and leave to go to my in-

of my living

we had no way of heating up) further dug the nail deeper into my guilty
conscience.
How Prepper Blogs, Forums, and YouTube Vids Fall Short
Along the way, I hoped to help others on their
prepping journey by starting a blog a few years ago
called TacticalIntelligence.net – sharing a bit of what
I learned in the process.
And although it’s had great success, becoming one of
the go-to blogs on preparedness with over 100,000
visitors/month as of this writing, at the time I felt that
it was a big flop.
I started the blog to help others get better prepared,

but based on the many comments and emails I’d get, I
realized that the prepping “process” was still a
mystery to most of my readers — they were still just as
confused as I was when I began.
See, the biggest drawback to what’s out there now (including my blog) is that since forums, YouTube videos,
and blogs are made up of random topics, there is no real DIRECTION in how to begin, what to do, and what
steps to take.
Especially if you want to get prepared NOW.
If you don’t have a ton of time like I did to decipher what’s most important, where to begin, or what the
“next steps” are…
…you might as well forget it – blogs, YouTube and forums are not going to work for you.
What’s missing is a format that will take you through an easy-to-
follow, step-by-step process — that applies no matter where
you live or what resources you have.
On the road to discovery
I had to find out if this was possible.
This sent me on another journey to discover what

the applies-to-everyone, crucial-keys and principles
of prepping were — and it wasn’t easy.
In fact, it was an undertaking.
In this information-gathering frenzy I watched

videos, consumed articles, forum entries, and book
after book…took classes and consulted with
experts…looking for those core patterns and
principles and finally distilling it down to a
“formula” that applies to anyone, anywhere, without breaking the bank.
Here’s what I got for you…

Now you can shortcut your own path to becoming
confidently prepared…by letting me share this hard-won
knowledge with you.
To make this as easy to consume as possible, I wrapped up

this entire process, all the knowledge I gained, into a
program I call Prepper Academy.
And if you’ve been struggling with getting prepared, you won’t be after going through this…guaranteed.
Prepper Academy is the Ultimate Resource to Get You
Prepared for the Coming Hard Times.
The central focus of the Academy is a set of guided
courses that takes you from a state of being totally
unprepared to the the ultimate goal of not having to
depend on any store, any government, or any grid.
And since the Academy is built upon core prepping

principles,you’ll learn how to adapt the training to
your unique situation.
In other words, I don’t care if you have a big budget or

small one…have little space or a lot of it…or that you
live in a high-rise, a hut, or anything in-between — you
will learn how to make prepping work for you.
That means, you no longer need to stress about getting

prepared. And, with each course containing detailed
specifics for those in a variety of circumstances, you’ll
learn how to get as prepared as possible, quickly and
without fuss.
Prepper Academy is broken up into four modules with

multiple courses per module.As you move through the various modules your ability to effectively survive a wide
variety of disasters will increase as shown in the following graphic:
Imagine Feeling Peace in a
World of Chaos…
That’s the ultimate benefit of being prepared.
When the world around you is going to hell in a hand basket,

you’ll be confident knowing that you don’t need to depend on
anyone for your survival.
Store shelves bare? Not a problem…you have your own in-

home mini-mart.
Power’s out? That’s ok…you’ve got backup to spare.
Imagine the freedom you’ll have…the confidence and peace you’ll feel, knowing that if disaster did rear its
ugly head, you’ll be well-prepared to meet it.
And when things do go south, those that depend upon and love you will be so proud to have you as their protector
and provider.
This is the reality when you go through the Prepper Academy program.
A ton of thought, research, time, and expert collaboration

has gone into Prepper Academy to make it THE go-to
prepping resource.
The content of this Academy isn’t the brain-child

of any one person.
It’s a Master’s-level brain dump pulled from

experts in various prepping disciplines…
From those specializing in food preservation and

storage…to retired combat vets…to security and
emergency-preparedness professionals…and more.
At each level of the academy you’ll know you have

the latest cutting-edge prepping knowledge
available…right at your fingertips.
All the leg work and research has been done — so you don’t have to.
Prepper Academy is 100% unadulterated, Grade-A

prepping beef…with no fat…and no fillers.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in each of the modules and courses…
The Prepper’s Foundation
The courses in Module 100 are designed to
get you and your family prepared enough to
get through most small-scale emergencies
(power outages, small localized disasters etc)
lasting two weeks or less or until help
arrives.
In addition, you’ll learn the basics of

formulating a disaster plan, how to create a
bug-out binder, as well as how to put
together a basic Bug-Out Bag. In the event of
a major disaster, you’ll want to have both a
plan and the gear in place to get you to a
safer location.
Just this module alone will begin to instill the peace of mind that comes to those who are prepared.
COURSE 101: BUILDING YOUR BUG-OUT BINDER
After completing this course, you will have created a highly-
customized emergency binder that is designed to be quickly taken
with you if you were forced to evacuate your home. It will contain all
the vital documents you need to rebuild your life in the event of a
disaster as well as a solid bug-out plan telling you what to do, when
to leave, where to go, and how to get there.
This course will also help you be way ahead of the mad rush of
people exiting your area by determining the “pre-cursor signals” that
tell you it’s time to go.
COURSE 102: BUILDING YOUR D ISASTER KITS

Disaster can strike at any time and in any place. You won’t be caught off guard after completing this
course.
Here you will build a set of disaster kits that are custom designed for
a variety of emergency situations. From the popular Bug-Out Bag
(BOB) and Every-Day Carry (EDC) kit to the lesser known Get-Home
Bag (GHB), Trauma Kit, and Specialty Kits, you’ll be well on your way
to meeting disaster with confidence.
C OURSE 103: B ATTENING DOWN THE HATCHES

(S HELTERING-IN -PLACE )
Before disaster strikes your home, knowing how to prepare ahead of time and what to stock
up on is of primary importance. In addition, knowing what to do both
during and after emergencies is equally as crucial.
This course will guide you through building enough supplies to ride
out a minor crisis that would affect your power, water, and food
supply. You’ll learn what types of fuel you should have on hand and
how to store them; how best to purify and store water; how to
overcome disaster paralysis by learning what to do to prepare your
home BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER a disaster strikes and more.
COURSE 104: COOKING OFF-GRID
Knowing how to cook during an extended power outage is crucial for
comfort, morale, as well as avoiding food- and water-borne illnesses.
This course will show you the best off-grid cooking options available that
work with big or small budgets. You’ll also discover which off-grid cooking
methods are best fit for sheltering-in-place or bugging out, how to make
your own off-grid cooking stoves with common every-day items, and how to
easily start primitive fires.
COURSE 105: SURVIVAL SANITATION IN A GRID-

DOWN WORLD
Even during short-term grid-down situations, major sanitation issues and
devastating health problems can erupt. Sanitation may not be as sexy a
topic as firearms, bug-out bags, or fire making, but knowing how to keep
clean and properly deal with waste and sewage during a grid-down
situation is one of the most important pieces of knowledge to have as a
modern prepper.
This course guides you through all aspects of survival sanitation. You’ll
learn how to properly deal with garbage and human manure, how to prevent the spread of
communicable diseases and much more.
Building the Prepper Mart: Your In-Home Convenience
Store
In Module 200 you’ll learn how to build a reserve that
will get you through longer-term emergencies —
ranging from a job loss to larger scale disasters
lasting up to 3-months.
You’ll also learn how to preserve your own food to

extend shelf life and for those with limited budgets,
you’ll learn how to build up this reserve without
breaking the bank.
Module 200 also gets you started on establishing your

Survival Library. You’ll learn why it is crucial and
what should be in yours.
COURSE 201: BUILDING YOUR PREPPER-MART — YOUR IN-HOME
CONVENIENCE STORE
At this point in your preparations (if you are working through each course
sequentially) you should have enough supplies to comfortably get you through a
two-week period without dependency upon the grid or grocery stores.
Now that you’re in Module 200, you will be extending your reserves beyond this
two-week mark by establishing your own in-home convenience store – something
I call your “Prepper-Mart”. This is the beginning of your journey to longer-term
food stores.
After completing this course, you will have set up your own in-home
convenience store with enough supplies to last you a minimum of three months. You will…
 Gain peace of mind knowing that you have a longer-term reserve that can get you through
personal, economic, or natural disasters lasting up to and beyond 3 months.
 Learn how best to plan, purchase, use and manage your inventory
 How to stock your Prepper-Mart on limited funds
 Discover what storage options are available for apartment dwellers and those with limited storage
space
 Be given step-by-step guidelines to building your own Prepper-Mart
 How to put your financial house in order and build a financial reserve
COURSE 202: PUTTING IT UP – THE PREPPER ’S GUIDE TO FOOD

P RESERVATION
After completing this course you will have the tools and knowledge to preserve
your own food and “put it up”. Food preservation skills give you freedom to
cheaply create your own food stores by taking advantage of store discounts and
abundant harvests.
In addition, you have complete control over the quality and types of food you
preserve — something not possible with store-bought goods.
You will…
 Discover why foods spoil and what weapons you have available to prevent it
 Learn step-by-step how to safely and effectively “can” fruit, vegetable and meat
 Know how to dry your own food and test for dryness
 Become adept at pickling with both vinegar and fermentation
 Learn the correct way to freeze food
 and much more…
COURSE 203: S ETTING UP YOUR SURVIVAL L IBRARY

Given the sheer number of skills and knowledge you may need in a long-term
disaster scenario, there’s no way that you could master all of them. For this reason,
having a ready-to-access reference of knowledge that you can instantly call upon to
guide you through a survival situation is essential.
After completing this course you will have created an extensive survival library in
both physical and digital format. You will…
 Uncover the MUST-HAVE subjects that should be part of every survival library
 Know how best to build up your physical library cheaply and effectively
 Learn how to create your own physical survival books for pennies on the dollar
 Discover what the best options are for building and storing your digital survival library
 Get a jump start on building your digital library by receiving multiple sources of the best FREE
eBooks and digital information available to Preppers

or large solar storm
 And much more…
Going the Distance: Long-Term Food Storage and How
to Use It
Module 300 is in many ways a continuation of
the previous module, except this level is
focused on long-term, bulk food storage. It
will teach you exactly what to store, where to
buy it, how to store it, and most importantly
how to use them.
There are far too many preppers with buckets

of long-term bulk food that just sitting in their
basements with no idea how to use it.
The core focus of this module then is teaching

you how to integrate it in your every-day life
so that when the SHTF you and your family
will already be accustomed to using it and
eating it.
COURSE 301: ESTABLISHING YOUR LONG-TERM FOOD STORAGE
Up to this point you should have at least a 3-month supply of food that you are
continually rotating.
In Module 300 and beyond we will now be focusing on preparing for the potential
of a longer-term disaster by building a year’s supply of food. Disaster could come
in the form of a complete societal collapse or a personal economic disaster. In
any case, having a year supply of food available is the ultimate insurance policy
for both scenarios.
After completing this course you will…
 Learn the REAL shelf life of common foods

 Uncover the six laws of an effective food-storage system
 Find a long-term food storage plan that works for you, whether you have lots of money and little
time, or lots of time and little money
 Disover the secret place where Preppers “in the know” go to get bulk foods more than half off the
price of normal places (no, this isn’t Costco)
 Identify just how many calories are needed for long-term survival living and how most “made-
for-you” food-storage systems grossly overcharge and under deliver
 and more..!
COURSE 302: S ECURING YOUR FOOD FOR THE LONG TERM

Time is a dangerous thing when you combine it with improperly stored bulk
food. If you want to ensure your long-term food stores are around 10, 20 or even
30+ years down the road (especially during that time when you and your family
need it most) then you must learn how to PROPERLY store away that food.
This course will teach you that.
After completing this course you will know how to properly package and store
your bulk foods food the long term. You will…
 Avoid the common pitfalls involved with storing your long-term supplies
 Learn which containers you MUST and MUST NOT use
 Discover the PROPER techniques for bulk-food storage to ensure that it will still be there when
you need it.
 Uncover the “alternative” techniques of bulk-food storage that are just as effective as but MUCH
easier than using the common bucket, Mylar and O2 absorbers.
 Learn the RARELY discussed techniques of “interim food storage” to ensure your current-use
stock does not perish.
 and more…!
COURSE 303: EVERY-DAY INTEGRATION OF YOUR LONG-TERM FOOD
S TORAGE
“Store what you eat, eat what you store. Use it or lose it” – James Talmage
Stevens
The biggest obstacle to long-term food storage is learning how to use it.
Through various video demonstrations and recipes found in this course, you will
learn how to use your storage on a day-to-day basis so that when it comes down
to it, you and your family will be ready for disaster and feel comfortable with the
foods you have stored.
Your children and other family members will not have to deal with the stress of adapting to a new diet and
will find comfort in the familiarity of the food they eat on a regular basis.
This course is all about learning to integrate your longer-term food storage into your every-day life. You
will…
 Discover the oft forgotten but crucial piece of equipment required for any serious long-term food
storage plan
 Learn food-storage recipes made entirely from your bulk-food storage that taste so good your family
will be using them every day.
 Learn how to make common everyday ingredients from your long-term food stores truly living by
the maxim, “Store what you eat, and eat what you store”.
Securing What’s Yours

Module 400 is all about securing what you’ve
worked so hard to build.
When tough times loom, social unrest and crime

increases. It’s important during these times

you to put in place active and passive
protections for your home and loved ones.
You’ll also learn about home caching (for hiding

valuables in your home), mindset and
awareness training, defensive/offensive tools
available for preppers, as well as recommended
and inexpensive sources of self-defense training
and much more.

The Time to Prepare is Now…
We live in uncertain times.
With the rise in natural disasters, an increase in crime and civil

unrest, a government that can no longer be depended upon to
reach us in our time of need, and an economy on the brink of
collapse…
…preparedness is no longer a luxury — it’s a requirement.
If you’ve been struggling with getting prepared, not knowing

where or how to begin, or thinking you don’t have the funds, the
space, or the “perfect” location to do it…I’m here to tell you,
your struggle is over.
I designed Prepper Academy to help preppers of all different

backgrounds, circumstances, skills, and means get as prepared
as possible, quickly and without fuss.
So how much is all of this going to cost?
Before I get to price, I want to stress that there is no other

preparedness program like this.
Given the 4 guided modules, the 16 courses, the instructional

videos, the vendor discounts, the option to earn free prepper gear
AND lifetime access to any future updates or additions, I should be
charging at least $300.
Here’s the good news: You won’t even pay half that at $150
Since I’m trying to make this as accessible to as many people as possible, I’m willing to shoulder all the risk
and let you try out the entire package for a full 30 days before you decide to keep it – for only a small
investment of $97.
It’s worth the commitment.
I know there are other options out there that claim to

teach you how to become prepared.
If those other options sound good to you, go for it.
And I wish you the best of luck.
However, I’m not gonna lie to you and tell you

prepping is easy.
Or that you can do it all in 30 days.
If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell ya.
True prepping takes sacrifice and commitment — but

if you’re up for the challenge, I’ll show you how to do
it as quickly, effectively, and inexpensively as
possible…using a PROVEN process that thousands of
people have already taken advantage of.
