Home defense
Home defense for a dad
By Ryan Fields-Spack · Former fire captain · 20+ years as a paramedic ·
This is the home defense side of the site. It sits next to the kit grades. It is not the quiz, and it is not a store.
A safe you will actually use. A plan your family can say out loud. Power and water if the lights go out. Bleeding control, because a kit is not a person. Staying calm enough to do the next right thing.

Who picks these kits
Start with one
Safe storage
A locked gun is the start of the plan. The videos are the walk-through.
Family plan
Say who calls 911, where you meet, and who can open the safe. Then write it down.
Power and water
The quiz does the water and power math for the people in your house. The videos are why.
Bleeding control
Call 911. A genuine tourniquet. A class. The safe video is not filmed yet.
Calm under pressure
You cannot buy calm. You practice the quiet parts before the loud minute.
NFA and permits
Paperwork, in plain language. Not a store, and not legal advice.
Q Lunchbox SD, coming soon
I bought one for the house. It has not shipped. The series starts when it is in my hands.
On YouTube
I post short videos on keeping the house ready. Subscribe if you want the next one.
What if this is an emergency?
Call 911. This page is education, not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for 911.
