Field notes
The homepage lays out five failure scenarios, from a card-network outage to a broader automation cascade, and points readers toward a 72-hour checklist before extending preparation to seven days. Its listed gear categories range from radios and water storage to cash and document gear. The site says it prioritizes apartments and distinguishes everyday purchases from items readers might borrow or skip.
