About FiB Preparedness
Our History
FiB Preparedness started as a small Mutual Assistance Group (MAG) — just a couple of preppers searching for support and solid information. What began as a quest for knowledge quickly grew into a lifelong friendship and unbreakable bond.What started as a business of three has now become a business of one. Through the challenges life threw our way, we faced them head-on the way we were raised — standing together as siblings, relying on the resilience, discipline, and self-reliance instilled in us by our father, a member of the 101st Airborne.Now, we’re excited to announce that Brother John is officially joining FiB Preparedness, making this a true family business once again. His addition will help us increase our output, expand our offerings, and bring new products to the market — including apparel and possibly investigative tools.At the core, we’re just average, everyday Americans — just like you. FiB is an ISA Certified Arborist with over 25 years of professional experience and more than 20 years dedicated to preparedness. Brother John brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in the woods, along with extensive knowledge and insight into the paranormal and cryptids.We’re proud Americans who love our country, even when it doesn’t always love us back.We’ve enjoyed attending events like Mountain Readiness, and we even hatched our official business plan on the long drive home from Fallout in 2023.We’re big fans of podcasts and videos from creators like Bear Independent, Creek Stewart, Operation Bushcraft, Mountain Readiness, Angry American, Eden Army, Sensible Prepper, The Holosky Podcast, and Mind4Survival — along with many other knowledgeable survivalists and paranormal researchers.If your favorite prepper, bushcrafter, or expert on the unexplained isn’t listed here, don’t worry! We’d love to hear from you. Help us grow our knowledge base and find new collaborators by sharing who your favorites are.We’re always learning, always growing, and now — as a family working side by side — we’re more committed than ever to this preparedness journey.

Our Products
At FiB Preparedness, we offer a wide selection of premium camping gear, survival gear, and outdoor equipment designed to help you prepare for whatever comes your way. From essential shelter solutions and reliable lighting to rugged knives, high-quality fire starters, fishing gear, and long-term food storage — we’ve got the basics covered.We also specialize in force multipliers for nocturnal adventures: night vision goggles, thermal monoculars, and scopes that give you a serious edge when visibility is limited or situational awareness is critical.Every item we carry is hand-selected for proven quality, durability, and real-world reliability. These aren’t just products we sell — they are gear we personally test, beat on, and trust in our own preparedness journey. If it doesn’t meet our high standards (and survive real use in the woods), it doesn’t make it onto our shelves.Our goal is simple: Equip you to do more than just survive. We want you to thrive, no matter what challenges life throws at you.Important Reminder: Even the best gear in the world won’t save you without the right survival mindset. Skills, determination, and mental toughness come first. Gear is a tool — not a crutch.All products you’ll find here are FiB Approved — meaning they’ve earned our family’s seal of approval through honest, hands-on evaluation.(We’re currently expanding the shop with new apparel and investigative tools as Brother John ramps things up. Check back often!)
