Which plan should I choose?

Nothing set aside yet? Start with 3 or 7 days. It's the biggest step, and the cheapest.
Already have the basics? 30 days builds a real pantry, water treatment, solar power and a stocked medical cupboard.
Want to grow and keep your own food? 90 days adds the garden, preserving without power, hens, fishing and advanced first aid.
In it for the long haul? Complete adds fibre and mending, a forge, woodworking and outdoor skills.

Every longer plan starts with the full 3-day kit as its first stage, so you never have to do it all at once.
