Meet the Team

SHTF Prepper Club exists to help families prepare for emergencies calmly and confidently — without the fear, the hype, or the bunker mentality. We believe preparedness is about protecting the people you love, and that the best way to do that is through clear, honest education paired with gear you can actually trust.

Who's behind SHTF Prepper Club

SHTF Prepper Club is owned and run by Ben Edmond and Zach Edmond, a father-and-son team based in Massachusetts. We're passionate about learning everything we can about family emergency preparedness — and just as passionate about sharing those insights in plain language that any household can put to use.

Ben Edmond

Co-owner of SHTF Prepper Club. Ben leads our coverage of emergency kits, home and family protection, preparedness tools, and family readiness planning — the practical, “what does my household actually need” side of getting prepared.

Zach Edmond

Co-owner of SHTF Prepper Club. Zach focuses on emergency food and water, backup power, freeze drying, and long-term food independence — the foundational supplies that keep a family going when normal life is disrupted.

How we approach our guides

Every guide we publish is written for real families facing real, common emergencies — storms, blackouts, water disruptions, winter weather, and short-notice evacuations — not worst-case fantasies. Our goal is balanced, practical readiness you can build step by step and actually maintain.

We research the products we sell and the topics we cover, and we write with one test in mind: would this genuinely help a family stay safe and calm when the lights go out? If you ever spot something that needs correcting or updating, we want to hear about it — you can reach us any time through our Contact page.

Our promise

Start small, scale smart, and build something you can actually maintain. That's the philosophy behind everything we write and everything we stock. Preparedness isn't about expecting the worst every day — it's about refusing to let a common emergency turn your family's life upside down.
