Prepping can seem overwhelming. Where to begin? What do you need? And with a family, the responsibilities grow. Let us guide you through the 4 tiers of prepping to help you get started.

Goal: Gather enough food, water, and supplies for each person to last 3 days. Usually consists of a bugout bag.

Keeping your prepping gear organized helps you stay prepared for any emergency or survival situation.
Our app organizes your entire prepping inventory across 14 dedicated categories so nothing gets overlooked.
And if you need to sort your inventory or want to print custom reports, we've got you covered too.

Go beyond the Bugout Bag
Advance your prepping by expanding your supplies for weeks, months, or longer.
Easily track your inventory across multiple locations and containers.
Keep an eye on expiration dates and calorie shortfalls.
Manage items that can be barterable.
Sort and print any part of your inventory whenever needed.
Are your supplies enough for everyone?
Prepping isn't just about having supplies — it's about having *enough* of the right ones. The Underground Prepper app automatically calculates the daily calorie requirements for every member of your household and tracks your water supply in precise measurements. At a glance, you'll know exactly where your shortfalls are before an emergency hits.
Calorie requirements calculated per family member
Water supply tracked and measured
Shortfalls flagged so you know what to stock up on
Adjusts as you add or update members

Don't know where to start? We'll guide you.
The Prep Hub gives you access to a comprehensive set of checklists across 17 categories of preparedness — covering everything from basic survival needs to long-term sustainability. Whether you're just starting out or fine-tuning years of preparation, the Prep Hub keeps you on track.

Not on our servers. Not in the cloud. On yours.
Underground Prepper is built local-first. Every item in your inventory is stored directly on your device — completely offline. We never see it. No one does. The world can change suddenly, and those in power can demand information about your supplies. That is why we collect as little information as possible.
Your preps are your business.
If you ever need to act, the tools are there.
If you're concerned about your prepping information being compromised, the app gives you several options — all from the settings menu:
• Wipe your inventory clean
• Delete your entire account
• Lock out an individual member or everyone at once
*Member lock-outs take effect the next time that member updates the app.


Your inventory. Backed up. On your terms.
Because your data lives on your device, we've built a powerful backup system that keeps you in control. Export an encrypted backup file and restore it on any device — no account recovery needed, no server required.
Export your full inventory to an encrypted `.prep` file
Protected by a unique 12-word recovery phrase only you know
Restore to any device at any time
Import and export inventory by category using CSV templates
Optional encrypted server backup for added peace of mind
Built for families. Locked down tight.
Underground Prepper is designed for the whole household. Every family member gets their own profile, their own bugout bag, and their own PIN. You decide who can view, who can edit, and who gets locked out.
No signup. No credit card.
No pressure.

You should check your bugout bags every 3-6 months. It is important to rotate your perishable items (food, batteries, medicine, water), adjust for seasonal needs (warm clothes in winter, lighter gear in summer), and ensure nothing has expired, leaked, or been damaged. You should also review your full preparedness inventory every 6-12 months and follow the same guidelines used for your bugout bags.
You sure can! You can cancel at any time, no questions asked. And you will continue to have access to your account till the end of your billing cycle has been reached. And changing your mind is just as easy.
That is the most important part of our tool! Prepping is not a 1-man (or woman) job, but a family endeavor. We first provide you with the ability to include every member of your family so you can manage the prepping inventory for each person. Then you have the option to grant any member access to view (read-only) or edit the family inventory. Now your entire family can help build and manage your family’s prepping inventory together.
Already ahead of you! We provide the option to lock out any member who has access to your inventory. Not sure which login is compromised? With a single click you can lock all members out of the inventory tool. And, in a worst case scenario (or if you want to start over), you can even choose to wipe your inventory clean. Still not enough? We even provide you with a last line of defense, giving you the ability to wipe your entire account from our system: inventory items, members, your account, and canceling your subscription, all at once.
Practically nothing. Your entire inventory lives on your device — we never see it, store it, or transmit it. The only thing we keep on our server is an anonymous account token used to manage your subscription. We don't store your name, your address, or anything about what you're prepping. We don't use analytics or tracking of any kind. Frankly, it's no one's business where your survival supplies are kept — not even ours.
Yes — completely. After your account is activated, the app works fully offline. All of your inventory data is stored locally on your device. An internet connection is only used to verify your subscription status when available. If you're offline, the app defaults to full access using your last known status. We built it this way on purpose — because the times you need your prepping data most may be exactly the times the internet is unavailable.
You can back up your inventory to an encrypted `.prep` file and restore it on any device at any time.
Yes! If you were a member on the Underground Prepper website, you can import all of your existing data directly into the app. Just use the "Import your data" option on the home screen and follow the steps.
Your inventory is only gone if you never backed it up. That's why we strongly recommend exporting an encrypted `.prep` backup file and storing it somewhere safe. With your backup file and your 12-word recovery phrase, you can restore your full inventory on any new device — no server required.
If you like using those “free” apps for prepping, I got a secret for you. There is no such thing as a “free” app (with very few exceptions). If an app is free, the owners are simply getting money another way, usually through selling your information to 3rd parties who in turn adjust their advertisement to you to buy their products. Or worse, selling your inventory data and storage locations to ‘bad actors’, whether it be government databases, businesses, or even scammers. As for us, we want NO ONE getting your prepping supply information. Why? That’s easy... We use this app too.
You can… but we wouldn’t recommend it. Your prepping inventory should be kept more as a guarded secret. In hard times, friends can easily become competitors for resources. And you ABSOLUTELY NEVER want too many people to know that you have what they need and where they can get it. This is your family’s survival preparations. Keep it a secret! And let others get their own subscriptions.
Yes! Learning is key to becoming a well-rounded prepper. That's why we created our own video tutorial library to help guide you through every feature of the app and every step of your prepping journey.
