No signal.
No search.
No one to call.
The moment the grid goes down, everything you'd normally look up goes with it. How to stop the bleeding, whether the water is safe, which roads are open. Blackout keeps those answers in your hand.
What it does
The questions you'll actually have
Is the water safe?
"How much bleach per gallon?"
Boiling, filtering and treatment ratios from public health and field manuals.
Roads are blocked
"What's another way out?"
Offline street and terrain maps with GPS, so you can plan a route with no cell signal.
The generator won't start
"Why won't it turn over?"
Equipment and maintenance manuals, and the AI helps you work through it step by step.
The freezer is thawing
"What's still safe to eat?"
Food safety and storage guides, plus how to can, dry and cook without power.
Days without school
"What do the kids do?"
Encyclopedia articles and a library of public domain books to keep them reading and learning.
Answers come from the references on the device, and the AI helps you find and follow them. It can be wrong, so check what matters against the source. Not a substitute for trained medical care.

FAQ
Questions
Does it ever need the internet?
No. Everything on it runs on the device. You can connect it to update maps and Wikipedia when you choose to, and it works the same without a connection.
How much should I trust the AI?
Treat it as a reference that can explain things and walk you through them. It can be wrong. Check important answers against Wikipedia on the same device, and call emergency services when you can reach them.
I'm not technical. Will I be able to use it?
Yes. It opens to a search box, a map and a question box. We set it up before it ships, Rally Point members get help from us when they need it, and guides are in BSA Skool.
What is Rally Point?
Our membership for Blackout owners, $15/mo, joined from the Rally Point section of this page: support from the people who built your kit, an emergency hotline, real-time alerts, live and in-person briefings, and the member community. The hotline is not an emergency service. Alerts need a cell or internet connection and add to official alerts; they don't replace them. In a medical or life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Can I upgrade my kit later?
Yes. Kits are modular. The knowledge library comes with every kit; add storage, capabilities, comms or power when you order, or send your kit back for upgrades later.
Can I build one myself?
Yes. The DIY blueprint is in BSA Skool, free to join.
Can I get different storage, memory or models?
Yes. FOB and HQ are built to your request, and you can ask for changes to the EDC kit in the order form below.
How does ordering work?
The EDC kit is $399 plus shipping. For a FOB, an HQ or an EDC with changes, send the request form and we email you to confirm the build, the price and shipping. Every kit is built, tested and shipped to your door.
