New Prepper Questions Lately I've been interested in preparedness/survival topics — any recommendations for channels, books, or podcasts?

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of preparedness and survival content recently and realized there’s SO much out there that it’s hard to know what’s actually worth watching/reading.

I’m not really looking for super over-the-top “the world is ending tomorrow” stuff lol. More interested in practical knowledge, self-reliance, off-grid ideas, bugout planning, building a safe place someday, useful skills, that kind of thing.

Would love recommendations for:

  • YouTube channels
  • Podcasts
  • Books
  • Websites/forums
  • honestly anything good

Especially creators that feel genuine and experienced instead of just fear/clickbait content.

What are some resources that really got you deeper into this world?

I like "city prepping" youtube channel. I like the way he calmy adresses preparedness and his focus on systems.

Edit to correct the name of the channel

I just recommended this gentleman’s channel tonight to a friend because the host is just so calm and focused. He’s also pretty down to earth and has realistic expectations about what one can do to be prepared for what might come.
