Survive//Protocol / Prepare
Prepare for the scenario that actually worries you
Preparedness is not one giant bunker project. It is a handful of calm decisions made per scenario, before you need them.
Each guide below covers the first hour, what to stock for your household, the skills worth learning now, and the mistakes people actually make.
Power outage
The most likely scenario on this list. Light, warmth, clean water, and cooking all become manual jobs. A prepared household rides out a long blackout in comfort instead of crisis.
Nuclear fallout
Blast, heat, and radioactive fallout, in that order. Distance from likely targets, a sealed shelter, and clean air, water, and food are what keep a family safe. The first 72 hours decide most of the outcome.
Pandemic
A fast-spreading pathogen forces long stretches of isolation while supply chains stutter and clinics overload. The safest place is a well-stocked home with a plan for caring for a sick member without infecting the rest.
Financial crisis
When savings lose value and paychecks get shaky, the playbook is defense first: a cash buffer, a lower burn rate, no expensive debt, and more than one income stream. Boring moves, done early, are what carry households through.
Internet outage
No online banking, no maps, no messaging, no commerce. Cash, paper records, offline tools, and a family contact plan become the lifeline. Preparing for this one costs almost nothing.
War
Strikes on cities and infrastructure, fuel and food shortages, closed borders. The decisive preparation is a decision made in advance: the triggers that mean leave now, the destination, and the cover plan for everyone at home.
AI collapse
When money, information, and infrastructure run through automated systems, a failure or lockout can reach deep into daily life. The answer is analog independence: cash, paper records, offline skills, and people you trust nearby.
Zombie apocalypse
The fun one, on purpose. Strip away the fiction and this is mobility training: a go-bag you can actually carry, routes out, a low profile, and feet that hold up. Skills that transfer to every real evacuation.
