Good intentions need good tools. The Stronghold Compass Field Kit is a collection of printable templates, drill cards, and working forms designed to take everything covered in Beyond the Bunker off the page and into your neighborhood. It's completely free. No catches, no upsells — just the practical materials that make the work easier.
Seven ready-to-use documents, each designed for a specific function in your neighborhood preparedness system:
A structured, one-page agenda for your first neighborhood preparedness meeting. Takes the guesswork out of how to start and how to keep it from going sideways.
A fillable visual board for tracking your block's mutual aid status in the first 72 hours of a disruption — who's okay, who needs a check-in, what's being shared.
A simple template for recording the skills, resources, and needs of households in your immediate area. Built for privacy — you only collect what people choose to share.
A quiet, dignity-preserving checklist for identifying neighbors who may need additional support during an emergency — elderly, disabled, medically dependent, or isolated residents.
A simple log for tracking borrowed tools, shared supplies, and mutual aid exchanges during an extended disruption. Keeps trust intact when resources are tight.
A working form for separating confirmed information from unverified reports. Helps communities stay calm and accurate when misinformation is circulating.
A rotation log for neighborhood watch shifts during extended events. Records who watched when, what they observed, and any actions taken.
Each document in the Field Kit is designed to be printed, filled in by hand, and used in the real world — on a folding table at a first meeting, posted on a refrigerator during a power outage, passed around during a drill. They're not digital forms. They're paper tools, built for situations where the internet may not be available and where a printed sheet passed between neighbors is exactly what's needed.
The documents are formatted to print cleanly on standard 8.5 × 11 paper, with generous margins and large enough text that they're readable in low light. You can print as many copies as you need.
