Our Mission

Bridging the gap between physical preparedness and strategic planning through systematic analysis, expert research, and AI-enhanced solutions.

The Foundation

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.

The Strategy

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.

Our Systematic Approach

We developed a comprehensive framework based on analytical research, expert consultation, and real-world testing. Expand each section to learn more.

Our Research Foundation

Every recommendation is backed by extensive research, expert consultation, and hands-on testing with our own families.

Expert Literature

We read and studied numerous leading books, guides, and documented best practices from recognized preparedness experts and organizations.

Emergency Leaders

We conferred with city, state, and federal emergency management leaders who provided insights into real-world response protocols and priorities.

Professional Veterans

We discussed our approach and solutions with law enforcement, military, and three-letter agency veterans who provided tactical nuances and field-tested insights.

Tested With Our Own Families

We bought, tried, and tested every product we recommend. These aren’t theoretical suggestions—they’re the same solutions we’ve implemented for our own families. We share items we actually own and use, not affiliate products we’ve never touched.

How We Curate Bundles

When we shared our complete solutions list with family and friends, the response was overwhelming: “I don’t know where to start” and “If I only have $X to spend, what should I get?”

Our Bundle Philosophy

We designed bundles to solve for the most likely problems based on both timeframe and cost:

  • First bundle: Covers many scenarios for up to 1 week
  • Progressive tiers: Higher bundles extend coverage to 1 month, 1 year, and beyond
  • Research-driven: Most critical items for maximum coverage at each price point
What’s Included
  • Complete bundle cost including items, taxes, and shipping
  • Setup instructions (e.g., fill water containers from home tap)
  • Information sheets with key learnings from our testing
  • Virtual consultation (included or add-on depending on bundle)

A Note on Customization

We offer limited customizations. Why? The items are specifically curated based on our research, best practices, and to remediate the challenges you’ll face. The items aren’t based on fashion or taste—they’re selected for their ability to give you and your family real solutions. We do offer add-ons to address specific concerns (like CBRN protection) and scale for family size.

AI-Enhanced Personalization
