THE TAYLORED PREPPING GUIDE: INTRODUCTION TO PREPPING
By Taylored Family — Real People. Real Plans. No Panic.

When the system collapses, it's not going to send a warning first. It’ll be quiet at first — the trucks stop rolling, the water stops flowing, the power blinks out, and the shelves don’t restock. That’s not a movie script. That’s reality — and it’s already happened in pieces. COVID. Blackouts. Empty formula aisles. This book isn’t fear-based. It’s fact-based. It's what our grandparents would’ve just called common sense.

This 180-page full-color survival guide is built for people who don’t trust the system anymore.

Whether you're new to prepping or trying to convince your family to take it seriously, this is the place to start. And it was written by someone who’s actually lived it.

You won’t find doom-and-gloom fantasy here. You’ll find checklists, systems, logs, trackers, and step-by-step advice to take you from “not ready” to “bring it on.” This is prepping through the lens of a father, a blue-collar leader, a coach, and a survivor who quit drinking, rebuilt his life, and now helps families across America get prepared — the right way.

WHO IT’S FOR:

This book is for the family man, the tired mom, the former soldier, the rural grandma, the single mom with a garden, the guy who’s been laughed at for storing beans, and the everyday working class who know things aren't right.

It’s for the blue-collar folks who watched prices rise, shelves empty, and politicians say “everything’s fine.”
It’s for the off-gridders, the homesteaders, the hunters, and the realists.

Built by the Taylored Family — a blue-collar American brand rooted in grit, preparation, and purpose.

This is Book 1 in the Taylored Prepping Guide series.
Upcoming titles will cover advanced food preservation, off-grid tools, community drills, and beyond.

Because when it all goes down, you won’t rise to the occasion…
You’ll fall back on your training.
