Know how far your home can go.
Your home runs on systems you don’t own: the grid, the tap, the supply chain. Range measures how long it could run without them.

Readiness isn’t a bigger pile.
Prepping counts what you’ve stored. Range measures what you no longer need to store. A well that out-produces your use makes you water-independent with an empty barrel; solar that covers your load turns the next outage into a non-event.
The goal was never more supplies. It’s fewer dependencies. Basis Land in three words: better with less.
Four lifelines, counted in days.
Each anchored to a real standard, each read the same way: how far it carries you alone. Seventy-two hours is the European floor; Range tells you whether you clear it, and by how much.
Rice and canned beans buy very different days. Range counts real energy against 2,000 kcal a person, a day.
Fifteen liters per person, per day, the WHO baseline. Barrels, tanks, rainfall: one total.
Grid, then solar, then storage. What matters is what still runs the day the grid won’t.
The lifeline no prepper tracks: how long you hold when the income stops but the bills don’t.
Two readings. One truth.
Your range is capped by its weakest lifeline. Range finds it and names it, so you always know where to reach next.
From dependent to sovereign, it scores how little you lean on systems you don’t own, and rewards the system over the stockpile.
Range also sizes your solar and battery, holds your inventory, and sets one real skill to drill each month.
Steady when it matters.
The day something goes down, a storm or an outage, switch on the live view. Range stops assuming everything failed at once and recalculates to the single lifeline that runs out first.
No signal required. Offline first, online only when you choose. Nothing leaves your device unless you send it. The instrument you lean on shouldn’t lean on a connection.
One tap from your home screen.
Range is a web app. Nothing to download. Save it to your phone and it opens full-screen, offline, in an instant.
Range is one part of Basis Land. There’s a philosophy to read, and a Circle keeping the record. The Signal Console, built into Range, lets your number light a beacon on the Circle’s shared map, quiet proof, on the nights it matters, that it isn’t just you.
Off-grid is a practice, not a place.
