When the power goes out for hours or days, the most important thing is a back-up energy plan. Learn how to put one together that fits your family and budget.
Hurricane Beryl wasn’t supposed to be that strong, but our power went out the day she hit coastal Texas as a Category 1, and we didn’t have grid-power for ten days!
Our home is equipped with five of the seven layers of backup power (everything but solar and a wind turbine!), so we knew we would be fine.
And we were, even with a few glitches.
Our air conditioning was on through those ten days, so no one overheated. The food in our fridge and the half side of beef in our freezer were safe.
We had planned ahead, knew exactly the type and size of generators and batteries we needed, and we want to help you do the same.
Hi! I’m Lisa Bedford, The Survival Mom. My husband, Stephen, and I have created a mini-summit, EVERYTHING ENERGY, your one-stop shop to learning how to put together your own back-up energy plan.
I’m the founder of Survival Mom. When it comes to being prepared for every type of emergency, I’m the pro!
I’ve created courses, an online membership, written hundreds of articles, tested lots of emergency-preparedness and survival products — all since 2009!
Stephen is a Texas Master Electrician, certified with Kohler, Generac, Franklin, SolarEdge, Enphase, and Tesla (just to name a few). He ran the generator division of a large energy company and currently researches and tests emerging technology in the energy niche — Virtual Power Plants, electric vehicles, you name it!
Our mini-summit (completely online) EVERYTHING ENERGY, gives you training, tools, product recommendations, and worksheets so you can put together your own energy back-up plan on your budget.
Always keep prepping with this downloadable bonus from Survival Mom.

Use our spreadsheet to identify your own energy usage and priorities. No two households are alike, so the type and size of energy back-ups you have depends on what is most important to you. This spreadsheet will help you figure that out!
No need to waste money on more energy than your home and family needs.
Every home and family is different. Our spreadsheets will help you decide the most essential uses in a power outage.
Follow our plan and list of supplies to get the most from a portable generator so it's the next-best-thing to a Generac.
We'll tell you the best brands, the features to look for, and a reasonable price range.

Mini-summit videos and resources will be available online for the lifetime of the course. That means you’ll have access 24/7 and can pick and choose the videos you want to watch first, download anything and everything, for the foreseeable future.
Survival and prepping books and websites have an awful lot of advice to give, but no one knows your family and your circumstances like you do! Lisa will help you create prepping To-Do lists that are suited specifically to your family.
As a mom, you know you want to protect your family, no matter what, but there seems to be so much to do, and it's all new to you! Lisa understands because she started as a total newbie, too! Her instructions are simple. Her advice is common-sense!
You don't have unlimited time with your busy schedule, and you need to spend your money wisely. In Prepping 101, Lisa will help you decide which preps are most important and set priorities. You'll save time and money when you prep with her!
I believe that prepping is full of hope for the future and love of family. That’s why for the past 10 years I’ve been teaching women how to create strong and resilient homes and families, ready to face any type of emergency.
