In the wild
Photographed at the kitchen table
The log is built to be filled in once, well, before the storm season. These are the moments the pages are designed for — checked off by lantern, marked by hand, signed the day the household review rolls around.
Why this product
Filled once per season — not a subscription you forget to cancel
What makes this log different from a free checklist PDF.
FEMA, Ready.gov & Red Cross sourced
Seven preparedness groups built from the same references FEMA recommends — not curated from a homesteading blog.
Quarterly review built into the closing page
Five review prompts on the back cover let you log what worked, what surprised you, and what you still need — a year-round log, not a one-time checklist.
AcroForm fillable PDF
Fill in any PDF viewer, save between visits, print when the season rolls around. Works offline; no account required.
A4 / Letter, locale-agnostic
Prints on A4 or US Letter. The seven preparedness groups apply regardless of region or climate.
Note column per row
Each checklist row has an open note column for supplier contacts, expiry dates, or location notes — designed for the kitchen table, not a screen.
What's inside
Seven preparedness groups, one quarterly review
Brand cover, seven preparedness pages, then the quarterly review prompts on the closing page — print once, fill in each row before the storm season, revisit it the day you run the household review.

Quarterly review
Five review prompts - the closing page logs the year
Five AcroForm fields (what surprised me, what worked, what would I change, what did I buy that I should NOT have bought, what do I still need to acquire) - the buyer fills the back cover once per quarter and reads the year-end as a journal of how the off-grid household actually went.
Buy direct
The Buy Direct chip on each tool opens a Stripe-hosted checkout that is the only purchase path. It only works once the deploy's Stripe keys are wired and the operator runs the steps below.
- Finish Stripe onboarding on the Polsia dashboard Payments page (Connection + branding) — direct checkout stays gated until this completes.
- Set ORDER_TOKEN_SECRET on the deploy env (openssl rand -hex 32 → store via set_app_secret) so download links survive a restart.
- Redeploy: polsia.toml ships npx prisma db push at build, so the Order table lands automatically.
- Smoke-test one $1 charge end-to-end: open /tools/<slug>, click "Buy direct", submit a known email, complete Stripe checkout, land on /checkout/success, click the download button, confirm /api/orders/download streams the unlocked PDF.
- Watch the orders feed: prisma.order rows flip pending → paid; the receipt email fires from the post-payment helper.
Direct checkout is the only purchase path — Stripe-hosted with a secure download link emailed the moment payment clears.
