The Contingency Planner Complete Kit and ReadyPlan app, working as one system

How it works

Two parts. One plan.

A physical kit on the shelf and the same plan on every phone. Write it once together, then everyone has it even without signal.

Most families assume this costs more than it does.

Here's the math.

Sam Amyett, founder of MAD GearBuilt by someone whose job depended on the plan working.

Sam Amyett spent years flying the E-6B Mercury, an aircraft built around the assumption that normal communications can be lost without warning. As a Mission Commander, he led the asset on detached deployments and built the tactical plan. As the squadron's lead instructor and Mission Commander Evaluator, he taught and qualified the people who flew the mission, including the next generation of Mission Commanders themselves.

He spent his career mastering the system and teaching others to do the same, in a context where the plan working was the only acceptable outcome. He left the Navy in 2025 and founded MAD Gear. The Contingency Planner is what came of applying the same discipline to households, sized for a kitchen table.

The plan has to exist before the emergency. It has to live somewhere your family can find it without you. And it has to work in a format that holds up when nothing else does.

What you actually get

One shipment.
The whole household.

Four kits ship in one box. Four lifetime app accounts arrive by email the same day. No coordination tax, no leftover questions about who gets what.

The plan everyone can see.

Each person in the household gets their own ReadyPlan account. The plan you write together is on every phone, on every shelf, in every car. Same plan, four backups.

Built so the conversation takes one Sunday afternoon.

The first plan in the kit takes about twenty minutes. The second one takes about as long. By dinnertime your household has a written evacuation route, a communication backup, and a list of what to grab.

What households are saying

30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Try it for 30 days. Build your first plan with your family. If you do the work 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. The condition is there because people who actually sit down and build the plan don't ask for refunds.

Common questions

What's actually in the Complete Kit?

Black fabric binder with zipper closure. All four expansion packs (Planning, Notes, Security, Logistics) on stone paper. Ten slate-gray PVC separators. A 0.9mm metal mechanical pencil installed in the binder loop. The MAD Gear velcro patch (attach if you want it). Branded kraft kit box. Everything ships together in the US.

How does ReadyPlan work without internet or cell service?

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.

Who is this for?

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.

What if I'm not technical?

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.

Returns and shipping?

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.

How long until the first plan is built?

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.

New to MAD Gear? Where can I see the full product overview?

The full product page lives at madgear.shop/pages/contingency-planner. It has photos of every component, a walkthrough of how the kit and the ReadyPlan app work together, the in-depth FAQ, and customer reviews. If this is your first time seeing the Contingency Planner, start there.

How do the four ReadyPlan Lifetime accounts get set up after we order?

Right after checkout, four ReadyPlan Lifetime redemption codes arrive in your inbox, one per account. Hand them out however your household wants. Each person who gets a code creates a ReadyPlan account (or signs into the one they already have) and enters the code there. That account is Lifetime from the moment the code is redeemed. Codes don't expire and aren't locked to a specific email, so you can swap them around if plans change. If anything doesn't go through cleanly, email us at info@madgear.shop and we'll sort it.

Do I have to give all four lifetime accounts to family members?

No. The four codes are yours to use however you want. Most households assign one per adult and per kid old enough to use a phone. Some buyers keep one as a backup. The codes don't expire, so there's no rush to assign them.

What if my household is smaller than four people?

The Family Plan still makes sense if you'd be paying $99 for even one or two ReadyPlan lifetime accounts on top of two planners. Four planners retail for $500; the Family Plan is $399 with four lifetime codes. The math works at any household size where you'd otherwise buy two or more planners.

How fast does the Family Plan ship?

Ships from Austin, Texas in 5-7 business days standard, faster with expedited options at checkout. You'll get a shipping confirmation when your kits leave the warehouse. If inventory ever runs low we'll open a wait list and tell you the window before you commit.

Is the Family Plan refundable if I change my mind?

Yes, within 30 days, conditional on doing the work. Sit down with your family, build your first plan with the kit, and complete the ReadyPlan guided setup with at least one of the four codes. If after that you 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. The condition is there because people who actually build the plan don't ask for refunds.

Can I gift the lifetime codes to people outside my household?

Yes. The codes work for anyone. Some buyers split the Family Plan across two households (a primary household and adult kids living elsewhere). The kits ship to one address; the codes work anywhere.
