Shop for a Grid-Down

Grid-down is the long scenario: the one the Pentagon's FORTRESS planning and this site's one-year supply guide both point at. The products below are the full system across all four categories, because a long outage stresses everything in order: water first, then food, then power, then the kit that holds it together.

Build it as a ladder, not a leap: two weeks first, then thirty days, then ninety. The food calculator turns your household into the exact calorie and gallon targets for each rung.

The kit: 86 products across all four categories

Food, water, power, and tactical mixed the way a real kit mixes them. Prices checked November 11, 2026 at each retailer's own store; the same data feeds the catalogs, so a price can never disagree between pages.
