Prep for Life. Don't Live to Prep.

Preparedness that fits any space.

Our Mission

At Prep Tiny, we believe that being prepared shouldn’t mean turning your home into a warehouse. Whether you are living in a 500-square-foot studio or a streamlined family home, resilience should support your lifestyle—not crowd it out.

We advocate for the middle path: a high-impact, low-footprint approach to readiness that prioritizes health, organization, and peace of mind.

The Framework: The 9 C’s

To make preparedness manageable, we use a structured framework known as the 9 C’s of Preparedness. This system is our modern evolution of the foundational survival principles pioneered by industry professionals like Dave Canterbury.

While traditional versions often focus on wilderness bushcraft, we have re-engineered these pillars for the modern, efficient household. By focusing on these nine categories—from Calories to Communication—we ensure you have everything you need to sustain your energy and safety without the clutter.

The Foundation of Resilience

We believe that the most important piece of gear you will ever own is yourself. While we want preparedness to fit into the life you already live, true resilience is built on a foundation of health and intentionality.

A Balanced Approach to Wellness

Being "ready" isn't just about what is on your shelves; it’s about your ability to think clearly and act decisively during a disruption.

• Energy & Capability: We focus on fitness and nutrition that support the physical and mental stamina needed to manage a household during a crisis.

• The Cognitive Edge: We prioritize habits that support mental clarity—like proper hydration and nutrient-dense fuels—because your best asset is a sharp mind.

• Starting Where You Are: We encourage you to build on your current lifestyle while always moving toward a version of yourself that is stronger and more capable than yesterday.

The Prep Tiny Standards

Preparedness isn't about being perfect; it's about making your household more efficient and sustainable.

1. A Comfort-First Working Pantry

We advocate for storing the brands and flavors you already enjoy and eat every day.

• Seamless Integration: By rotating everyday essentials into your meals, you build a "working pantry" that prevents waste and ensures your supplies are always fresh.

• Eat What is Worth Storing: We encourage choosing high-quality, whole foods and organic options when possible, ensuring your emergency meals support your long-term health rather than draining it.

2. Multi-Functional Gear

Every item in an organized home must earn its keep.

• High-Impact, Low-Volume: We vet tools and gear based on durability, space-efficiency, and how well they serve you in both daily life and emergencies.

• Aesthetic Respect: We choose gear that fits your home's aesthetic, so your preparedness feels like a natural part of your life, not an intrusion.
