Prep Tiny
Preparedness that fits any space
Prep Tiny is right-sized preparedness. We provide a scalable system for everyday resilience that adapts to your environment—whether you are optimizing a studio apartment, a family home, or your kit for life on the go. Our focus is on sustainable systems that keep you ready at home and everywhere in between, no matter how much space you have.
Prep Tiny organizes preparedness around the 9 C’s—a simple, practical framework for thinking about the systems that support everyday resilience: Calories, Clean Water, Cocoon, Capability, Communication, Care, Caution, Community, and Competence.
The idea of “tiny” here isn’t just about square footage; it’s about scale. Whether you are managing a small kit or a large household, Prep Tiny focuses on preparedness that fits the space, time, and attention you realistically have
Instead of fear-based messaging, Prep Tiny emphasizes practical systems that build resilience from the ground up. We believe that being ready for the extreme begins with mastering the everyday. Our focus on the 9 C’s ensures that you have the continuity and capability to navigate any crisis, from the mundane to the severe.
A Growing Resource
Prep Tiny is currently a work in progress. We are carefully building our guides and vetting resources to ensure every recommendation meets our high standards for health, space-efficiency, and utility. Check back often as we activate new deep-dive guides for each of the 9 C's.
Start Here
If you’re new to preparedness—or just looking for a more organized approach—start with the systems that matter most. Prep Tiny is designed to help you build a foundational layer of resilience that scales from a single shelf to a full household.
We focus on the 9 C’s because they are the universal constants of any crisis—the essential systems that keep life running when the world gets unpredictable:
Life Essentials (The Foundation): Securing the core requirements for survival—Calories and Clean Water. These systems scale based on your space, from a three-day kit in a bag to a deep pantry.
Stability & Wellness (The Perimeter): Protecting your immediate environment and health through Cocoon and Care. This ensures your home remains a safe harbor, regardless of its square footage.
Awareness & Connection (The Network): Strengthening how you navigate the world through Communication, Caution, and Community. These systems keep you informed and supported, whether you are at home or away.
The Human Element (The Asset): Developing the internal tools that stay with you everywhere—Capability and Competence. These are the skills and habits that provide true confidence in both mundane and severe emergencies.
You don’t need to do everything at once. The goal is to build confidence and resilience gradually, starting with what makes sense for your space and circumstances.
