Plan Builder

The standard stackable water container. Seven gallons is the most weight one person can still move.

For the 30-day-plus tier, barrels beat jug math. Needs a pump and a place to live.

0.1 micron, rated for 100,000 gallons, works inline or gravity. The default answer for a reason.

One per go-bag. Not a household solution, but the cheapest real insurance there is.

Household-scale gravity filtration. Ten liters filters while you do something else.

The backup with no moving parts. Kills viruses that filters pass.

The taste benchmark for freeze-dried. Start here before committing to buckets of anything.

The best calories-per-dollar in a single bucket. Bland is fine when it is the backup.

Depth for the 30-day-plus tiers. 25-year shelf life, stackable buckets.

Protein your household already eats, no rehydration required.

The highest calorie density on the grocery shelf, and nobody has to be talked into it.

Breakfast for a month for a few dollars, cooked with nothing but hot water.

Boils water in about 100 seconds on a small canister. Freeze-dried food is only as good as your ability to heat water.

Covers the computed daily load for most households with room to spare, and the ecosystem panels just work.

Enough for lights, phones, radio, and a CPAP overnight. Charges to 80 percent in under an hour when grid power flickers back.

Fridge-capable for real outages. Goal Zero's chaining and panel options are the deepest.

Pairs directly with the Explorer line. One panel covers the computed recharge for a modest load.

Chainable and rugged. The pick if you went Yeti on storage.

The quiet, boring, start-every-time benchmark. Costs more, resells for most of it.

CO auto-shutoff built in, at a third of the Honda's price.

Enough headroom to carry a fridge, a window unit, and the panel of a small house.

Real trauma coverage, not band-aids in a zipper pouch. Buy once, restock forever.

Honest coverage for a small household at half the price. Add a tourniquet.

The one every kit should add. Buy from a reputable dealer only; the counterfeit problem is real.

Pain and fever control is the OTC line that gets used first and runs out first.

Diarrheal illness plus no plumbing is how ordinary outages become medical ones.

Allergic reactions do not wait for the pharmacy to reopen.

Rehydration salts turn the water you stored into actual recovery.

NOAA alerts, hand crank, solar, USB charging out. The category benchmark.

Sold as pairs, weather channels included, and GMRS gives you legal power headroom with one cheap license per family.

The reliability pick at the sane price point. Buy one per person, standardize the batteries.

Duty-rated and rechargeable, from a maker that only does lights.

Runs off the same ecosystem as the power station, hand-crank backup built in.

The bulk pack for the size everything should be standardized on.

For the headlamps and remotes that refused to standardize.

Pairs with the power station: batteries that recharge beat batteries that deplete.

Gelling bags rated for actual disposal. This is the line item nobody buys and everybody needs.

Hand hygiene with zero water cost. The workhorse of no-plumbing sanitation.

Cheapest infection control per use in the whole plan.

One bottle covers body, dishes, and laundry, which matters when rinse water is rationed.

Waterproof and signal-proof for the encrypted drive copy of everything.

A complete, thought-through 72-hour system. Buying the bundle beats assembling your first bag part by part.

The build-it-yourself platform. Cheaper if you already own half the contents.

Pre-built by people who obsess over this exact problem.
