The Contingency Planner is the physical record your household keeps in the binder. ReadyPlan is the shared digital layer that keeps it synced across every family member and accessible offline. Each one stands alone, and together they are the system MAD Gear is built around.

A fabric binder with stone paper pages, PVC dividers, a metal pencil, and all four expansion packs. Works without power and without signal. Available standalone or bundled with ReadyPlan Lifetime.

Guided emergency planning app for the household. Builds a complete plan from prompts, shares it across every family member, and stays available offline once it has been synced. Full pricing and feature detail live on the ReadyPlan page.
What households are saying
"WE WERE READY for a week of ICE. We have horses, chickens, and a water well along with a barn and outbuildings. It's very easy to forget something but we worked our plan. Thank you ReadyPlan."
"Got this to coordinate some emergency information for my family. Couldn't be more happy with the product. Provides step-by-step advice and all critical information to have at a moment's notice. Will be buying more so everyone can have one."
"Very good planner. I am an Emergency Manager, and I use this for my family."
"The piece I needed that I didn't know I needed. Simple to follow, with comprehensive instructions. A must-have for anyone wanting to coordinate their family or team in an emergency."
"I looked around for a planner with modularity, good flow, information related to my plan, and ruggedness. I came upon your planner. It checked the blocks. I purchased it."
"Mountains of paper simplified down into an app that I can easily use with my family. The interface is no frills and to the point, makes it as easy as possible for my wife and kids to open and use their plans without hassle. It works perfectly with my paper planners from MAD Gear."
"I've been hesitant about using apps like this, but this one takes the cake. Love the layout, simplicity, and ease of use."
"Easy to follow templates and checklists. Just adjust them for your individual needs. Makes it so anyone can prepare for a multitude of situations without needing any prior training or knowledge."

Black fabric binder with zipper closure. All four expansion packs (Planning, Notes, Security, Logistics) on stone paper. Ten slate-gray PVC separators.

Once you've signed in, the plan lives on your phone offline. The app stores everything locally. The binder is the paper backup that doesn't need a signal at all. The system is built for the moment when both your phone and cell service might be unreliable, which is often the moment you actually need the plan.
Households that want a real emergency plan in writing without going down the prepper rabbit hole. Most buyers are parents who've already done the responsible-adult work, like life insurance, smoke detectors, fireproof safes, and a will. The planner is the next item on that list, and it's the one most families have been putting off for years.
You don't need to be. The pages are pre-formatted with prompts. The app walks you through the sections in plain language. The first plan in the kit takes about twenty minutes for someone who's never written one before. There's no setup beyond opening the binder and signing in.
30-day money-back guarantee, conditional on doing the work. Build your first plan with the kit and complete the ReadyPlan guided setup if your kit includes a code. If you've done that and still don't think it was worth it, contact us for a full refund. Unredeemed ReadyPlan Lifetime codes can be deactivated and returned for refund. We ship from Austin, Texas in 5-7 business days standard, faster with expedited options at checkout.
About twenty minutes for the first plan if you've never written one before. Most households build their evacuation route, communication backup, and go-bag list in a single Sunday afternoon. The kit is built so the conversation finally happens, not so it takes weeks.
If you want the kit on its own, the Standard Kit at $124.99 covers it. If you want the kit plus the digital app, the Bundle at $154.99 is the better deal because the Lifetime code retails for $99 standalone. If you're planning for the whole household and want everyone to have their own kit and app, the Family Plan at $399 makes the math break in your favor. If you only want the app, ReadyPlan Lifetime is $99 standalone. Each option has its own page with the full details.
No. Every option is a one-time purchase. The ReadyPlan Lifetime codes (included in the Bundle and Family Plan, or sold standalone) work forever with no renewal. The Standard Kit doesn't include the app at all.
Ships from Austin, Texas. US delivery in 5-7 business days.
MAD Gear is the brand. Founded by Sam Amyett, a former Navy communications officer who left active duty in 2025 and built the Contingency Planner because households deserve the same kind of planning discipline that keeps military communications running when infrastructure fails. Twelve thousand families have used the planner over the past three years.
No pressure. Every option ships from Austin in 5-7 business days standard. If inventory ever runs low we'll open a wait list and tell you the window before you commit. Click any of the offer cards above to read the full details on each option.
