💸 $100 — Bare-bones survival
💰 $1,000 — Practical comfort
💼 $10,000+ — Grid-down luxury?
Whether you’re broke, building your first emergency prep kit, or going all in, this real-world guide shows what matters most when the lights go out. No bunkers. No fear-mongering. Just solid advice with a little cartoon flair.
