Town Builder
An original field guide, not a history lesson
This section is written from scratch for this kit: how a small group of ordinary people rebuilds working daily life — water first, food second, winter third, and people always. No politics, no fantasy; just sequencing, checklists, and honest trade-offs.
Order of OperationsWater → food → winter: what comes first and why.
Working TogetherDecisions, tasks, records, and keeping the peace.
The one-paragraph version
Groups fail from bad sequencing and bad feelings, rarely from lack of gear. Secure drinking water before anything else, put calories in storage before they're needed, beat winter instead of meeting it, write down who does what, and settle disagreements while they're small. Everything else in this section is detail on those five sentences.
Defense, infrastructure deep-dives, and seasonal planning guides ship in later passes of Phase 5.
