My YouTube channel focus on emergency preparedness topics and related gear reviews. Since I live and work in the greater Seattle area, my focus is on “Urban” preparedness and not on Rural environment related concepts.

Welcome Baby Prepper 3.0 to the world! Our third child was born around two weeks ago. In today’s video, I wanted to share what we actually packed in our Hospital Go Bag and what proved most useful during our stay.

I tested this myself. Whole home running: 3 hours. Survival essentials plus outlet timers: 9 hours. Same battery. Same appliances. Just smarter decisions.
New video covers the full 3-tier system, every timer schedule, and a free one-page PDF you can print and keep with your gear.
