Why seven

SevenBases is owned and run by a U.S. Air Force veteran. After years of working and traveling around the world, I built it to give families a plain-spoken order of operations for getting a home ready for the next outage.

The seven bases at home

Power, water, food, light, heat and cooling, communication and first aid. Cover each one and your household is better prepared for a long night, a storm or a few days without power. We start with power, because the other six lean on it.

What "bases" means

It means two things. First, covering all your bases at home, so nothing gets missed when the grid goes down. Second, it is a nod to our seven family roots and the places around the world where we have lived, worked and explored.

Why seven

Seven bases keep a home steady. Seven continents are the bigger world we plan to explore. And seven family roots gave the name its meaning.

How we work

We read the specs, check the safety listings and link the official sources, such as Ready.gov, CDC and CPSC. We say what each product does and what it does not do. Some links are affiliate links, and the disclosure is on every page that has them. We care more about getting the work right than making it flashy.

What comes next

Home readiness comes first. Rugged gear and apparel come next. Later, we plan a small number of invite-only trips to remote places, for a limited group of travelers. There are no dates or prices yet. When there is a route to share, we will post it here.

Ready at home. Rugged anywhere.
