In the wild
Photographed at the homestead
The bundle is built so that the three night-prep + observation products sit side by side on the same print run. These are the editorial shots of the bundle in use — scored at the kitchen table, prepped for the next season, then journaled under the stars.
Why this product
Score, prep, observe — three PDFs, one read sequence
How this bundle serves the night-prep operator.
Three expert PDFs, one Stripe checkout
Property Scout Workbook + Homestead Preparedness Log + Desert Stargazer's Journal — every AcroForm widget preserved across the bundle stamp.
Ordered as a sequenced read
The bundle's read order matches the night-prep operator's decision flow: score the parcel, prep the homestead for the season, then journal the observation year.
Save vs. three separate purchases
Bundle price is less than buying the three products individually. One checkout, one download.
AcroForm fillable throughout
Every form field from all three PDFs is live in the bundle. Fill in any PDF viewer, save between visits.
Observation journal runs lockstep with the prep cycle
The Desert Stargazer's Journal's quarterly observation rhythm syncs with the Homestead Preparedness Log's quarterly review prompts — one cycle, two records.
What's inside

Direct checkout
One bundle, one Stripe checkout
The bundle ships the same bundled PDF for every buyer. Direct checkout sits on top of Stripe and emails a secure download link the moment payment clears. The operator runs the five-step checklist to the right to take this product live.
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.
