The Gear Expert
I’m Tiran Dagan. For years, my passion has been the tangible side of survival—crafting the perfect bugout bag, designing backpacks, and curating emergency supplies.
I understood the “what” of survival: the tools, the kits, and the physical necessities required to weather a storm. My focus was always on ensuring that when the moment came, the gear would be ready and reliable.
Strategic & Tactical Expertise
But gear alone isn’t a plan. My partner, Brian Burk, brings decades of strategic and tactical preparedness expertise from the highest levels.
FBI Special Response Team: Brian served on the FBI’s Special Response Team, bringing tactical planning expertise and field-tested response protocols to emergency preparedness.
Proven Track Record: For years, Brian has consulted with high-net-worth individuals and families, delivering complete turnkey preparedness solutions tailored to their specific needs and threat landscapes.
Community Education: Brian has presented to action groups and concerned citizens, sharing tactical insights and strategic planning frameworks that transform anxiety into actionable preparedness.
Brian’s scientific, analytical approach asks the hard questions about risk assessment, scenario planning, and the logic behind every decision. He transformed our approach from “collecting gear” into “strategic preparedness.”

The Birth of beprepared.ai
The intersection of practical experience with gear and scientific methodology created something stronger than either could build alone. This platform is the result of that partnership—a tool designed to help you plan smarter, pack better, and be truly ready for anything.
