Is this just for "preppers" or extreme disaster scenarios?

Not at all. In fact, most of my clients are not "preppers" – they're everyday families who want peace of mind. I focus on likely situations (fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, power outages) and practical steps. No bunkers or gas masks required – just common-sense prep.

Will you make me buy a bunch of expensive gear?

Nope. I often help you save money by suggesting low-cost or DIY solutions. I don't sell any products myself. If you need something, I'll point you to reputable options (often basic items you can find around the house or locally). It's about planning, not spending.

No—gear-neutral. I help you avoid unnecessary purchases.
