Hi Product Hunter...
I built BudgetPrepperTools.com because most survival advice is anecdotal and vague. I wanted a logical, data-first approach to emergency planning—moving away from "buy everything" to "calculate exactly what you need."
The Current Web Tool: It currently features four core calculators:
Nutrition & Water: Precise macro/micro and hydration requirements based on duration.
Solar & LPG: Energy consumption modeling for off-grid scenarios.
Request for Feedback: I am looking for honest, critical reviews on the logic of these calculators.
Are the variables (e.g., LPG consumption or caloric burn) aligned with your real-world data?
Is the UI too utilitarian, or does the simplicity help in a high-stress "prepping" context?
What essential calculation is currently missing from the suite?
I am currently 90% finished with an advanced Android version. While the web version handles the "math," the mobile app will introduce offline-first functionality and inventory tracking—features that are nearly impossible to manage via a browser during a real outage.
If you have specific Android features you've been looking for in this niche, I’d love to hear them before I lock the final build.
