Knowledge first. Skills second. Gear third. Start with what your household needs to do, check what you already own and identify a real gap before buying.
Before you purchase
1. Name the need. What household capability will this purchase improve?
2. Check what you have. Can existing equipment meet that need with practice, maintenance or a replacement part?
3. Compare the full requirements. Consider fit, quantity, consumables, storage, maintenance and the skills needed to use it.
4. Stay within your budget. Choose one useful improvement and practice with it. A purchase alone does not demonstrate readiness.
My Medic • First aid & medical readiness
For students comparing first aid kits and supplies. Begin by reviewing the people you support, where the kit will be used and which supplies you are trained to use.
Compare the actual contents, quantities, expiration dates and replacement costs. A kit complements appropriate first aid training; it does not replace it.

My Patriot Supply • Household food planning
For students comparing emergency food options as part of a household food plan. Review foods your household already eats and can store before deciding whether specialty products close a gap.
Compare total calories, dietary needs, ingredients, preparation water, cooking fuel, storage conditions and cost. Try a sample before committing to a large supply.
